ROLE
We are seeking a hands-on Staff Software Engineer to act as a force multiplier for our engineering organization. In this role, you will drive the technical direction of complex systems, translate ambiguous problems into clear architectural and execution strategies, and make pragmatic decisions that balance scalability, speed, and maintainability.
You will work across lean teams to influence design, raise engineering standards, and mentor senior engineers, while staying close to the code in critical areas.
- Architect & Strategize: Lead high-level architectural decisions and technical design discussions for scalable, maintainable software solutions. You will look beyond immediate tasks to ensure our systems are built for long-term reliability and performance.
- Solve Ambiguous Problems
- Take loosely defined problems and turn them into:
- clear designs
- execution plans
- Build at Scale: Design and develop cloud-native applications at an enterprise scale. You will be responsible for tackling our most complex technical challenges, focusing on distributed systems, microservices architecture, and system-wide security.
- Collaborate & Influence: Partner closely with product managers, designers, and other engineering leaders to translate business goals into robust technical roadmaps. You will influence decision-making on tough problems using your deep understanding of design patterns.
- Drive Quality & Excellence: Champion a culture of quality by setting the standards for code reviews, unit testing, and documentation. You will take responsibility for the overall quality of the product, ensuring we ship reliable code to production.
- Mentor & Elevate: Go beyond standard mentorship by providing technical guidance to Senior engineers and the broader team. You will lead knowledge-sharing initiatives and help the team adopt modern best practices.
- Innovate with AI: Actively integrate and demonstrate the effective use of AI-powered coding tools to enhance team efficiency. You will set the example for how to review and optimize AI-generated output.
To be successful in this role you bring:
- Education: BE/B.Tech/MCA
- 10 to 14 years of professional software development experience
- A proven track record of delivering complex, distributed software projects from conception to production at enterprise scale.
- Deep proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, or Go) and strong fundamentals in object-oriented programming.
- Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Heroku, GCP) and microservices architecture.
- Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases and API design (REST, GraphQL).
- Demonstrated ability to effectively leverage AI-powered coding tools (e.g., Windsurf, Cursor, or similar AI assistants) to enhance coding efficiency and quality, with the ability to articulate prompt strategies.
- Proven experience developing on the Salesforce platform or other Enterprise application development platforms is highly desirable.
- Strong familiarity with DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipelines.
