About the role
- You'll join a team that treats AI-assisted development and automation as first-class tools.
- We expect our engineers to wield these tools fluently - offloading toil to automation while holding the decision gates that matter - and we expect our Staff engineers to help shape where that frontier goes next.
- If you get excited about setting technical vision for customer-facing problems, multiplying the teams around you, and pushing the frontier of how software gets built, we'd love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- Independently scope, design, and deliver solutions for large, complex, cross-cutting challenges spanning backend services, web, and mobile - owning multi-system outcomes end to end.
- Drive the architecture behind onboarding, compliance (KYC/identity), and customer support workflows that serve millions of users, designing for scale and reliability with the future in mind.
- Set technical direction beyond your immediate team: plug into designs across the product unit, provide guidance, and help teams avoid design pitfalls.
- Leverage and help advance our AI coding tools and agentic development pipeline, raising the bar for how the team builds.
- Own the DevOps lifecycle for the systems you build - building, validating, monitoring, and maintaining them over the long term - and drive key processes like operational review, security, and disaster recovery for your domain.
- Plan and deliver complex, multi-team, long-term projects, including ones with external dependencies
- Conduct meaningful code and design reviews for correctness, style, and information security, providing oversight and coaching that raises quality across teams.
- Take on the most ambiguous, high-stakes problems and drive them to resolution, tying the work clearly to company objectives.
- Plan and deliver complex, multi-team, long-term projects, including ones with external dependencies; identify strategic problems and advocate for their prioritization.
- We run an agentic SDLC pipeline where specialized agents plan, implement, and review work through our harness with human guidance.
Requirements
- A track record of independently designing and delivering large, multi-system or multi-team projects from architecture through operation.
- Proficiency in a typed language (e.g., TypeScript, Scala, Java, Go) and comfort with JavaScript/TypeScript for web and mobile surfaces.
- Experience building consumer-facing applications, with a strong understanding of UX/UI concepts and product sensibility.
- A customer and product-focused mindset, with the ability to make well-reasoned tradeoffs between speed and quality.
- This role is required to be in person twice a week at our New York City, NY office.
