Staff Engineer – Core Technology

ROLE SUMMARY

We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer who will design, build, and maintain internal tools and infrastructure that enable teams across the organization to deliver software efficiently. In this role, you will focus on code quality, architecture decisions, and creating reliable, scalable systems while leveraging AI tools to enhance developer productivity. You will verify and review AI-generated code to ensure it meets our quality standards.

You will build and maintain foundational services and tooling that serve multiple business units. Your focus will be on creating the shared infrastructure, APIs, and developer experiences that product teams rely on to build and ship software. You will reduce friction, improve deployment pipelines, and enable self-service capabilities across the organization.

As part of an enabling team, you will identify common patterns and pain points across product teams and build generalized solutions that scale. You will create reusable components and tooling that accelerate delivery across multiple teams.

This role encompasses multi-team initiatives with organizational impact. You will set own direction within broader strategic goals, influence multiple teams, and be recognized as a domain expert in developer tooling and infrastructure. 

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Delivery: Lead technical delivery of complex infrastructure and platform projects across multiple teams, unblock others through hands-on contributions, and ensure engineering quality

• AI: Design AI-augmented engineering workflows for your area, evaluate new AI tools, train engineers on effective AI usage, and balance speed with verification

• Business: Drive business outcomes through technical solutions across your area, influence product roadmaps, and partner effectively with business stakeholders

• Process: Drive process efficiency within your team, coordinate cross-functional technical work, and lead retrospectives

• Documentation: Design documentation strategies for your projects, ensure knowledge persists beyond individuals, and write specifications that enable effective collaboration

ROLE BEHAVIOURS

• Don't Lose Your Curiosity: Drives team curiosity through challenging questions; creates environments where exploration and experimentation are encouraged; models problem discovery orientation; seeks out ambiguity rather than avoiding it

• Own the Outcome: Drives accountability culture focused on outcomes not deliverables; owns business relationships and impact metrics across their function; makes trade-offs between custom solutions and generalizable work; there is no "I must run this by X"; ensures verification rigor for AI-generated code

• Be Polymath Oriented: Bridges gaps between engineering, design, business, and science; rapidly immerses in new domains; speaks the language of Commercial, Manufacturing, or R&D; makes better decisions by understanding broader context

• Communicate with Precision: Separates requirements, designs, and tasks with precision; enables AI to generate accurate code through clear specifications; translates between technical and business language; facilitates productive discussions

• Think in Systems: Maps complex system interactions across technical and business domains; anticipates cascading effects; designs systems that degrade gracefully; understands how technology changes impact business operations

PRACTITIONER-LEVEL SKILLS

• AI-Augmented Development: You optimize AI tool usage across teams in your area, train engineers on AI-augmented workflows, evaluate new AI development tools, and establish practices that balance AI speed with verification rigor.

• Business Immersion: You immerse in operations until you think like an insider. You rapidly acquire domain expertise through direct observation, translate between business and engineering seamlessly, and mentor engineers in your area on immersion.

• Data Integration: You navigate complex enterprise data land
