Senior Staff Software Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Staff Software Engineer

• Focus: Platform architecture evolution, AI-first engineering workflows, secure production excellence

Description

You will drive the architectural evolution and technical direction of a software platform by owning complex, end-to-end capabilities—from design and scale considerations to production reliability. The role also pioneers AI-first development workflows, applying prompt/context engineering and rigorously verifying AI-generated code for correctness and security. You will partner with PM and Design to simplify user flows and reduce friction using prototypes and telemetry.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end feature delivery by breaking down work, managing commitments, and reducing cycle time and rework

• Establish AI-first engineering practices across an agentic SDLC, including evaluation of AI outputs to prevent hallucinations and defects

• Architect extensible system interfaces while balancing performance, reliability, and scale trade-offs

• Apply defensive, secure engineering practices across edge cases and complex authorization paths

• Translate product requirements into intuitive implementations with prototypes and telemetry

• Drive production service excellence via incident RCA, reducing MTTR, and implementing durable fixes

• Run technical experiments, share design patterns, document tribal knowledge, and author RAG-ready technical notes

Requirements

• Deep hands-on enterprise application development experience with the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, Node.js)

• Proven experience architecting, deploying, and operating scalable solutions in AWS

• Expertise in prompt and context engineering; use AI tools in development with peer-review verification for correctness and security

• Demonstrated ability to stay productive amid ambiguous or fluid requirements while aligning with business goals

• Strong foundation in system design and extensibility (clean APIs, refactoring, explicit architectural trade-offs)

• Extensive experience debugging complex production services, performing RCAs, and implementing systemic prevention mechanisms

• Cross-functional collaboration skills with PM/Design; ability to write clear RFCs and mentor peers

Benefits

• Compensation range: $134,600.00 - $217,800.00 per year (depending on qualifications, experience, and work location)

• May include restricted stock units and a bonus

• Employee benefits available (see company benefits information)
