Job description

Staff engineers are expected to identify and solve ambiguous problems and help shape technical direction across teams. Strong interpersonal skills are essential; much of the impact of this role comes through collaboration and raising the quality of the work around them. They should have a continuous desire to learn new things, and to bring what they learn back to the team. Technology is constantly evolving, and staff engineers are expected to help the organization evolve with it.
