Summary Generated by Built In
At FloQast, we aren't just building tools; we are crafting the "Operating System for Accounting."
As a Staff Software Engineer, you are a primary architect of this vision. This is a role for a
technical visionary who thrives on solving "impossible" distributed systems problems and
understands that the best code is the kind that empowers an entire engineering organization to
move faster.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you are a primary architect of this vision. This is a role for a

understands that the best code is the kind that empowers an entire engineering organization to

You won't just be "coding"—you’ll be defining the technical North Star for our application
ecosystem and driving step-function improvements in how we deliver value to thousands of
global brands like Zoom, DoorDash, and the MLB.
*This is expected to be hybrid in our San Jose or Los Angeles office.
What You'll Do
- Architecting the Future: You will design and deliver the core platform capabilities that
power the next generation of FloQast applications. You’ll own the "big picture," ensuring
our distributed systems are scalable, resilient, and elegant. - Technical Strategy & Excellence: You’ll lead the high-level design discussions that
resolve complex trade-offs. By establishing rigorous engineering best practices, you raise
the floor and the ceiling for our technical standards. - Cross-Functional Partnership: You’ll act as the bridge between "what’s possible" and
"what’s needed," partnering deeply with Product and Design to translate ambiguous
business goals into executable technical roadmaps. - Multiplier of Talent: Your success is measured by the growth of those around you. You
will mentor senior engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical curiosity and high-
performance execution.
What You'll Bring
- The Veteran’s Perspective: 10+ years of experience shipping complex, enterprise-grade
software. You’ve seen systems succeed and fail, and you know how to navigate the
lifecycle of a maturing platform. - Technical Mastery: You are an expert in modern backend stacks—specifically Go,
Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS. You think in terms of APIs, platform-first design, and
secure, compliant SaaS architectures. - Outcome-Driven Mindset: You possess a strong product intuition. You don’t build for
the sake of complexity; you build to drive business impact and solve real customer pain
points. - Navigational Skill: You are comfortable in the "grey areas." You can take a napkin-
sketch idea and turn it into a production-ready reality through influence and technical
clarity.
