Role overview

A large real estate technology organization in Latin America is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to serve as a premier technical anchor and senior individual contributor.

• Translate ambiguous, unstructured problems into execution-ready technical scope, producing maintainable systems with clear documentation and well-defined interfaces.

• Mentor senior engineers, conduct difficult technical conversations, and provide senior technical assessments to management to inform project strategy and team composition.
• Serve as a lead interviewer for senior and principal technical roles, guarding the technical hiring bar and shaping internal allocation decisions.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software development experience, with a track record leading delivery of high-volume, high-concurrency, mission-critical distributed systems.
• Deep knowledge of modern software architecture paradigms, distributed data consistency, fault tolerance, and system-level optimization.
• Demonstrated ability to articulate engineering trade-offs concretely and design systems that remain maintainable as teams and products scale.
• Proven capability to remove collaboration barriers, build strategic roadmaps, and foster an inclusive engineering culture.
• Fluency in Spanish and strong English skills (verbal and written) for daily use in code, architecture documentation, and global alignment.

Benefits and work setup

• Remote-first model for technology roles based in Argentina, with the option to use office or partner coworking spaces up to twice per week.
• Medical plan coverage.
• Wellness platform access (gym and fitness benefits).
• Extended parental leave plus a child care reimbursement benefit.
