As a Staff Engineer, you’ll set technical direction and raise the execution bar while building a high-performing team. You’ll guide architecture and delivery across modern full-stack systems (React 19 + Node.js), build durable engineering practices, and ensure we ship fast without sacrificing quality.

- Set and evolve technical strategy for developer platforms, dashboards, and internal tooling.
- Partner with Product/Design to deliver roadmap outcomes with high velocity and strong craftsmanship.
- Establish engineering standards: code quality, testing, documentation, security, and operational excellence.
- Own delivery health: sprint/iteration hygiene, predictable execution, and strong on-call/incident practices.
- Drive architecture decisions across front-end, back-end (tRPC encouraged), and deployment (Docker + CI/CD).
- Build a culture of ownership, feedback, and continuous improvement across teams.
Ideal Qualifications
- 7+ years building software, including 2–4+ years leading teams (EM/Tech Lead/Head of Eng).
- Strong full-stack understanding (React + Node.js), modern front-end patterns, SSR/performance, API design.
- Experience with shipping and operating production systems (cloud, CI/CD, observability, incident management).
- Proven ability to balance speed with quality in startup environments.
- Clear communicator with strong judgment and a track record of developing engineers.
