About the Role 

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll play a critical role on a cross-functional squad, driving high-impact technical work while mentoring engineers and shaping the direction of our platform. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role; you'll write and ship code regularly and serve as a key technical leader on your team.

Staff Engineers at Travefy lead by example. You’ll tackle some of our hardest technical challenges, drive architectural improvements, and guide strategic initiatives that impact multiple squads. You’ll work closely with Engineering Leads, Product Managers, and Designers to ensure solutions are scalable, sustainable, and user-centric.

If you’re a deeply technical engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, mentoring others, and delivering features that make a difference, you’ll feel right at home here.

• Provide technical direction within your squad, contributing to system design, architectural reviews, and strategic planning.
• Mentor and support engineers across teams through pairing, design guidance, and code reviews.
• Champion engineering best practices and help evolve internal tooling and infrastructure.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Impact

You’ll partner across disciplines to align priorities, reduce complexity, and deliver outcomes that matter.  

• Partner closely with Product and Design to align technical solutions with user and business goals.
• Serve as a go-to expert for debugging, performance optimization, and scaling challenges.
• Help drive adoption of new tools and technologies across the engineering organization.

Influence & Evangelism

You’ll shape how we build—driving improvements that raise quality, efficiency, and consistency across teams.  

• Contribute to a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and engineering excellence.
• Actively participate in shaping engineering process, architecture, and platform direction beyond your immediate squad.
