As a Staff Engineer, you’ll lead initiatives that span front-end and back-end services — delivering performant, secure, and scalable features.

- Build reusable and performant UI components for a best-in-class no-code builder experience.
- Own services throughout their lifecycle — including implementation, testing, deployment, observability, and incident response.
- Work closely with Product, Design, and Architecture to define the “what” and “how” of features, ensuring solutions are both user-friendly and technically sound.
- Partner with infrastructure and platform teams to optimize system performance and reliability.
- Mentor and support engineers across the team, fostering a culture of quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.
- Contribute to cross-functional planning, architectural reviews, and team-wide engineering practices.
Experience:
- 8+ years of experience building modern web applications in a full-stack environment.
- Deep expertise in TypeScript, ReactJS, and Node.js (Express or similar frameworks).
- Experience designing APIs, working with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar), and building services in a distributed, cloud-based architecture.
- A strong product mindset — you work well with Product and Design and care about delivering intuitive and elegant user experiences.
- Ability to collaborate closely with Architects to make smart technical tradeoffs, and drive alignment across teams.
- Passion for craftsmanship and high engineering standards (testing, monitoring, documentation, scalability).
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions and build consensus across functions.
- A growth mindset and interest in mentoring others and upleveling the team.
Nice to Haves:
- Experience with PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.
