We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who will operate far beyond the scope of a single team or service. In this role, you will work directly with senior engineering leadership to tackle large, cross-area technical challenges that impact dozens — sometimes hundreds — of services across the platform.

This is a role for someone who thrives on complex systems, ambiguous problems, and high-impact architectural decisions. You will help shape technical strategy, guide major platform evolutions, and ensure our systems remain scalable, reliable, and efficient as we grow.

We're are looking for someone who has:
  • A minimum of 8 years of hands on experience in a large scale production environment
  • Has experience in designing and implementing solutions on an organizational level, impacting multiple teams/tribes
  • Has experience engineering high-quality, highly scalable software 
  • A willingness to learn new technologies (we are working with Golang, Erlang)
  • Strong system design fundamentals, particularly in distributed systems 
  • Ability to analyze complex technical problems and develop clear strategies
  • Comfort working in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces 
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction across teams
  • A passion for creating user-centric, data driven solutions
Bonus points for:
  • Experience in Fintech
  • Interest in Functional Programming
What you will do:
  • Collaborate closely with engineering leadership and teams to design and implement scalable and robust software solutions
  • Analyze complex system challenges and create strategies for improving architecture, scalability, and platform efficiency
  • Drive large cross-team initiatives from concept to execution, influencing decisions and aligning multiple teams
  • Enhance system automation (scale, resiliency, deployment)
  • Build and enhance core platform components and shared libraries (AWS, Go, Erlang, Kafka) used across the organization
  • Work with technical and non-technical stakeholders from the wider organization to understand and drive improvements across the platform
  • Build on our CloudNative platform, enabling more use of AWS technology to aid in speeding up delivery, scale, and resiliency
  • Grow the engineering community, building on the existing process and practices
  • Elevate engineering standards, helping teams grow and operate more efficiently
