Staff Engineer - Full Stack

Responsibilities

• Pioneer the integration of modern AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) into the daily full-stack development workflow to accelerate delivery without sacrificing technical depth.
• Architect, build, and maintain scalable backend microservices and extensible REST APIs paired with intuitive, modular frontend application layers.
• Own the entire software development lifecycle—from gathering functional/non-functional requirements and data modeling to deployment, automation, and production support.
• Write clean, modular, and testable code optimized for browser rendering efficiency, database execution performance, and space/time complexity.
• Ensure backend and frontend systems are tuned for high availability (99.99%+), multi-tenant fault tolerance, security compliance, and deep observability.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, UI/UX designers, and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to ship highly localized, value-driven capabilities fast.
• Troubleshoot complex full-stack performance bottlenecks in production, from slow database queries to state-management memory leaks.
• Experience managing technical initiatives, coordinating cross-functional engineering loops, and mentoring other engineers.

Requirements

• Exceptional logical reasoning with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical thought processes and designs to both engineers and executives.
• 10+ years of progressive software engineering experience building and scaling full-stack applications in high-growth product teams.

Engineering Multiplier

Foster a culture of excellence by leading deep-dive code reviews, mentoring junior/mid-level systems engineers, and introducing modern architectural patterns.

Mentorship & Best Practices

Lead architectural reviews, establish development roadmaps, mentor 2–4 engineers, and actively drive OOPS and SOLID design principles across the org.

Distributed Infrastructure Stack

Solid exposure to RDBMS, NoSQL, caching strategies, microservices architecture, and distributed queuing systems.

Modern Web Ecosystems

Strong understanding of frontend engineering paradigms, including component lifecycles, state management, and client-side performance optimization.

Cloud & DevOps Practice

Hands-on experience working with CI/CD automation pipelines, DevOps tooling, and cloud infrastructure platforms (AWS or GCP).

AI Tool Fluency

Practical exposure and experience using generative AI tools to improve day-to-day coding efficiency and technical exploration.

Iterative Sourcing History

A proven track record of building complex systems from scratch and steering them through multiple scale iterations in production.

Pragmatic Delivery

Skilled at balancing rapid feature delivery with long-term code maintainability, clean documentation, and scalability.

Education Baseline

Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative technical field.
