Staff Software Engineer

What you'll do

• Take end to end ownership of the short and long term technical vision
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers within your team and others
• Help your team to improve the technical quality of their work through regular technical design and code reviews
• Be responsible for all major technical decisions for your squad (a successful lead will be able to influence the decisions of their team without having to make all of them)
• Share your technical knowledge and expertise through regular tech talks and/or blog posts
• Communicate effectively with engineers, product managers, customers, partners, and other leaders

What you'll need

• We expect that as an individual contributor, you are a role model
• You will be expected to guide the technology decisions of your team, while contributing alongside them
• Equivalent of 8+ years of experience on senior engineering roles (designing APIs, abstractions, and tools used by other engineers)
• Expert-level knowledge of:
  • Microsoft .NET technology stack (C#/JAVA/ .NET, ASP.NET MVC, Web APIs) and SQL databases (Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server or any other)
  • HTML5 and JavaScript; experience with Typescript and React is a plus
  • Git, unit testing, debugging, profiling, performance monitoring
• Strong communication and technical writing skills
• B.S., B.Tech, M.S., M.Tech, or PhD in Computer Science or equivalent education
• Hands-on, daily experience using AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar) to write, refactor, debug, or review code
• Working understanding of how LLMs function at a practical level (context windows, prompting, hallucination risks, strengths/limitations) — enough to use them effectively and evaluate their output critically, not academic ML expertise
• General awareness of current AI trends and tools relevant to software engineering, and genuine interest in keeping that knowledge current
• Track record of leading technical projects end-to-end with minimal oversight, including ambiguous, cross-team initiatives
• Strong code review discipline and a demonstrated history of setting or raising engineering quality bars on a team
• Strong communication skills — able to explain technical tradeoffs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience mentoring other engineers and influencing engineering culture and practices

Nice to Have:

• Experience integrating AI/LLM APIs into product features (even at a basic, API-consumption level)
• Familiarity with prompt engineering basics for coding or productivity use cases
• Experience establishing or improving AI-tool usage guidelines/policies on an engineering team
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Contributions to internal tooling, developer experience, or engineering productivity initiatives
