The Role

We are seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer who can operate across platform engineering, application architecture, infrastructure, automation, DevSecOps, and data pipeline systems.
This is not a narrow platform role. Success in this role requires someone who can jump into complex problems across the stack, quickly understand the system, design a practical path forward, and build the solution. The right person will be equally comfortable improving cloud foundations, debugging application architecture, building automation, hardening security patterns, improving developer experience, and helping teams make better technical decisions. You will also serve as a senior technical partner across engineering teams, stepping into a variety of systems that require ownership and architectural guidance. You crave broad technical ownership and can raise the quality, speed, and reliability of engineering across the organization.

We offer:

-Unlimited PTO

-Extended Holiday break (Winter)

-100% paid parental leave

-401(k) matching

-Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Pet Insurance

-Sponsored life insurance

-Short Term Disability insurance and additional voluntary insurance

-Annual Class Pass credits and more!

The anticipated annual salary for this role will range from $170,000 - $205,000, based on a variety of factors unique to each candidate, including skill set, years and depth of experience, education and certifications, competitive benchmarks, scope of responsibility, market dynamics, geographic location, and the respective state’s salary threshold for exempt employees. At Wpromote, pay ranges are subject to change and are based on specific market medians for similar jobs according to third-party salary benchmark surveys. Individual pay within that range can vary due to skills, experience, and available budget. The total compensation package for this role will include benefits (listed above).

This position may be performed remotely in most states within the US, with some exclusions

**While this role offers the flexibility to work remotely, we have office hubs in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where you can join in on learning and development opportunities, fun events, take advantage of a space to work, and collaborate in person!
