About the role

  • We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to tackle some of the hardest technical problems at Onebrief - the kind that don't yet have a clear owner, a defined scope, or an obvious solution.
  • We operate in a squad-based model: small, focused teams that form around outcomes and dissolve when the work is done.
  • At the Staff level, you're not just effective within that model

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive cross-squad technical strategy, identifying systemic gaps, proposing architectural direction, and seeing complex initiatives through from framing to delivery.
  • Establish and evolve engineering norms: how the team uses AI-assisted development, what good code review looks like, and how we reason about build vs. buy vs. adopt decisions.
  • Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape the roadmap from a technical perspective, surfacing constraints and opportunities that aren't visible without deep system knowledge.
  • Experience building in a squad or rotation-based model, or the clear instincts of someone who would thrive in one

Requirements

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical ownership that spans teams, not just projects
  • Demonstrated ability to set architectural direction at the org or platform level, not just within a team's scope
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, API design, data modeling, and cloud-native infrastructure at scale
  • the ability to write RFCs that get alignment, give feedback that lands, and make complex trade-offs legible to non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Background in mission-critical or high-compliance domains (FedRAMP, SOC2, DoD)
  • Experience with authentication and identity infrastructure at scale (OIDC, SAML, federated identity)
  • Prior experience in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment scaling through significant inflection points
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, shared component libraries, client-side observability
  • Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, secure RESTful APIs, distributed services
  • Authentication & Authorization: Keycloak, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, ABAC, JWT, federated identity provider integrations
  • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, container security and secrets management
  • Integrations: CSV/Excel/KML importers, PDF exports, DoD and enterprise data systems, secure API gateways, auditing pipelines

Skills

  • a React/TypeScript frontend, Node.js backend services, cloud-native infrastructure, and authentication and identity systems.

Compensation

  • In the absence of an executed Recruitment Services Agreement, there will be no obligation to any referral compensation or recruiter fee.

Benefits

  • Drive architectural decisions that outlast any single squad rotation, balancing long-term system health with the pragmatic pace of a high-velocity org.
