About the role

Why we’re looking for you

We are looking for a mission-driven Staff engineer who is passionate about their craft and committed to building incredible products for our customers.

Our Tech Stack

Frontend: [React, Next.js, Vue]
Backend: [Node.js, Mongo]
Typescript everywhere

The Impact You'll Have

We’re seeking a Staff Engineer to join our Core Architecture Team, a small, senior group of engineers responsible for solving the hardest technical problems across the platform.

This is a deeply hands-on role. You will spend a significant portion of your time designing, building, and shipping production code in the most critical parts of our system, while also providing architectural leadership across teams. This is not an ivory-tower architect position — success in this role requires comfort operating directly in complex codebases, debugging real production issues, and owning end-to-end execution of high-risk technical initiatives.

You’ll work on initiatives such as:

Safely decomposing our monolithic backend, writing and owning the new systems that replace it
Redesigning distributed authentication and authorization systems, including implementation and rollout
Architecting and building for 100× platform scale, with hands-on ownership of performance, reliability, and cost
Building an AI-powered "Software Factory" — a multi-agent system that takes engineering tasks from ticket to PR, orchestrated via Temporal, Slack, and sandboxed Kubernetes dev environments
