The Role
As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll own high-impact projects end-to-end from concept through production, in a fast-moving environment where engineers focus on building a great product. You'll work across our codebase alongside a small, highly autonomous team, shipping multiple times a day. This is a role for someone who finds intrinsic motivation in building, moves fast without cutting corners, and measures success by what's live in production.
Key Responsibilities
Own and deliver major features end-to-end, from initial prototype to production deployment
Take full responsibility for the quality and polish of what you ship: performant code, pixel-perfect UI, and thoughtful error handling
Drive technical decisions with strong judgment, knowing when an RFC adds value versus overhead, and when to bet on speed over completeness
Diagnose production issues using instrumentation and measurement (not vibes), and leave the codebase better than you found it
Actively shape what gets built: attend customer calls, question priorities, and ensure the work you're doing delivers real, measurable impact rather than ticking off a spec
Who You Are
You have deep full-stack engineering experience and a track record of shipping customer-facing features in a high-growth environment
You default to action over process - you'd rather ship something imperfect and iterate than spend weeks perfecting an abstraction nobody's tested in the real world
You're genuinely autonomous: you know your top priority, why it matters, what's next, and you don't wait for a meeting or a manager to tell you
You care about craft without being precious - you write clean, reviewable code, sweat the details on UI polish and backend consistency, but never let "perfect" delay "live"
You thrive in a high-trust, low-overhead environment where you're empowered to make bold calls and accountable when those bets don't pay off
You're a strong communicator who asks sharp questions, shares context publicly, and treats the codebase as a shared space you're proud to maintain
