Job Description
We're looking for a staff engineer to help shape the technical direction of our backend systems, lead complex projects, and make architectural decisions that affect the whole platform. You'll write code, own systems, and ship, but also think beyond your immediate work to identify what the team should be building next and how we should build it.
Requirements
- 7+ years of backend engineering experience, with a track record of leading complex projects
- Opinions about how systems should be built, and can articulate the tradeoffs behind those opinions
- Can take a vague problem and turn it into a clear technical approach without much guidance
- Write excellent code and hold others to a high standard without being a bottleneck
- Energized by hard problems and comfortable with uncertainty
- Want to be hands-on at a company where staff engineers ship code, not just review it
- Have built systems that scaled and understand what breaks at each order of magnitude
Benefits
- Catered lunch daily
- Dinner stipend
- $150/month wellness benefit (gym, fitness classes, mental health)
- Commuter benefits
- Health benefits
