Are you our next Staff Engineer?
Must haves
- Experience solving complex technical challenges (we know expertise doesn’t always fit neatly in a timeline—what matters is impact).
- Deep, production-grade proficiency in Angular and TypeScript, with a strong command of scalable fullstack architecture, component design patterns, and performance optimization.
- Proven track record in technical leadership, architecture, and strategy.
- Proven track record for mentorship, clear communication, and long-term thinking.
- Ability to see both the big picture and the fine detail, knowing when to zoom out to strategy and when to dive deep into technical issues.
- Pragmatism: you make deliberate decisions, balancing speed and sustainability.
- Hands-on experience working in AWS environments—comfortable with core services (e.g. Lambda, S3, RDS, Kinesis, Terraform) and cloud-native architectural patterns.
- Deep understanding of database systems (Postgres, Aurora, ..)
- Open to engaging with full stack topics—you’re not limited to the front or back end and can contribute meaningfully to full-stack conversations, API design, and data pipeline decisions.
Nice to have
- Experience working with design systems
- Deeper engineering experience in other areas like (Node.js, Python, Kotlin, PHP or similar) beyond familiarity—able to own those components when needed.
- Background in enterprise SaaS or sales enablement platforms.
- Exposure to GraphQL, real-time data streaming (Kafka, Kinesis), or observability tooling.
