Job description

Our innovative culture thrives on collaboration, data-driven decisions, and a startup mindset. Join our team and enjoy top-tier benefits, unlimited PTO, flexible schedules, free lunches, and the opportunity to work alongside a world-class team of professionals.

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to serve as a technical anchor across our engineering teams. This role goes beyond writing code; you will shape how we build, influence architecture decisions across products, and elevate the engineers around you. You’ll operate at the intersection of deep technical expertise and organizational leadership, helping define standards, remove systemic blockers, and drive outcomes that span team boundaries.

What You’ll Do

Technical Leadership

• Own and drive architecture decisions for complex, cross-cutting systems
• Define and enforce engineering standards patterns, anti-patterns, code quality, and system design
• Conduct architecture reviews and provide high-signal feedback across teams
• Identify and resolve technical debt before it compounds

Organizational Impact

• Partner with engineering managers and team leads to unblock teams and improve delivery velocity
• Mentor and grow senior engineers; actively invest in the technical depth of the org
• Bridge the gap between teams surfacing dependencies, aligning on shared infrastructure, and reducing duplication
• Contribute to hiring by defining bar-raising interview criteria and participating in technical evaluations

Strategic Influence

• Translate business goals into technical strategy and vice versa
• Participate in roadmap planning with a long-horizon view on scalability, maintainability, and risk
• Advocate for platform investments that pay dividends across multiple products
• Communicate technical direction clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Who You Are

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated growth into senior or staff-level scope
• Deep understanding of software design patterns and anti-patterns; knowing not just what to build, but what to avoid and why
• Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and systems design at scale
• Experience driving architecture across multiple teams or services
• Ability to navigate and contribute across polyglot architectures; comfortable reasoning about tradeoffs when systems are built in different languages, runtimes, and paradigms, and capable of making sound technical decisions without requiring a single-stack rewrite
• Proven ability to influence without authority and lead through technical credibility
• Fluency in at least one strongly typed, imperative language (C++, C#, Java, Rust, Go, etc.)
• Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows

Preferred Skills

• Experience with C++ in a large-scale codebase (Chromium experience is a strong plus)
