Position Overview

We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to play a defining role in scaling and evolving a large-scale enterprise platform, transforming it into a highly performant, resilient, and cloud-native system built to meet the demands of enterprise environments. This is a rare opportunity to shape and strengthen the foundation of a complex, high- impact product by designing, building, and optimizing the platformʼs core services, data flows, and developer interfaces. You will influence every layer of the architecture, from APIs and synchronization services to deployment automation and developer tooling, ensuring the system is robust, extensible, and ready for continued growth.

As a Senior Staff Engineer, you will have the autonomy to make high-impact architectural decisions, write production-quality code, and mentor others while guiding the technical direction of the platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and evolve the platformʼs core systems, including data services, APIs, orchestration, and automation layers.
• Design scalable, distributed architectures that support performance, reliability, and security across complex enterprise environments.
• Work hands-on in the codebase to prototype, validate, and implement core system components.
• Lead technical direction and establish best practices for service design, configuration, observability, and maintainability.
• Drive deployment and delivery excellence through Kubernetes (k3s/k8s), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code automation.
• Collaborate across engineering, product, and operations to ensure alignment between architecture and business goals.
• Mentor engineers, fostering technical growth and promoting sound engineering judgment across the team.
• Champion simplicity, consistency, and scalability across all architectural and implementation decisions.

What Weʼre Looking For

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including several years in a Staff or Senior Staff capacity.
• Proven experience designing and scaling distributed systems or platform-level architectures.
• Deep expertise in:
  - Kubernetes (k3s/k8s) and container orchestration.
  - CI/CD pipelines, automation, and infrastructure-as-code.
  - API design, integration patterns, and microservice communication.

• Proficiency in a backend programming language such as Ruby or Python.
• Demonstrated ability to lead architectural initiatives that span multiple systems or teams.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and mentoring skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with data synchronization, event-driven systems, or pipeline automation.
• Familiarity with data processing, classification, or governance platforms. Experience designing developer-facing tools or SDKs.
• Understanding of hybrid or air-gapped deployment models.
