We're looking for a Staff Engineer to set technical direction across multiple services and teams. You'll be a force multiplier — driving architecture, raising engineering standards, leading complex cross-team initiatives, and mentoring senior engineers. This is a senior IC role for a deeply technical engineer who shapes how the organization builds software and whose design judgment others adopt.

What You’ll Do

• Drive architecture and technical direction across multiple services and teams.
• Lead complex cross-cutting initiatives — migrations, modernization, and platform/system evolution.
• Own reliability and performance at scale; make high-leverage engineering decisions and tradeoffs.
• Raise engineering standards through design docs, standards, and reviews that others adopt.
• Mentor senior engineers and influence technical strategy beyond a single team.
• Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders on technical roadmaps.
