## Description

As a Staff Product Engineer on the Tooling team, you'll operate across backend, web, and mobile to shape the customer-facing platform tooling that defines how millions of users experience Gemini , onboarding, compliance, customer support, and the ad hoc projects that keep the customer journey smooth from first touch onward.

This is a high-leverage, high-ownership role for an engineer who sets technical direction across multiple systems and teams, moves fluidly up and down the stack, and drives complex, cross-cutting products from ambiguity to production.

You'll join a team that treats AI-assisted development and automation as first-class tools. We run an agentic SDLC pipeline where specialized agents plan, implement, and review work through our harness with human guidance.

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; identify strategic problems and advocate for their prioritization.

- Conduct meaningful code and design reviews for correctness, style, and information security, providing oversight and coaching that raises quality across teams.

- Mentor engineers, provide compassionate technical coaching, and contribute to the technical direction, hiring, and engineering culture of the team.

- Take on the most ambiguous, high-stakes problems and drive them to resolution, tying the work clearly to company objectives.

Minimum Qualifications:

- 8+ years of software engineering experience building and operating complex production systems at scale.

- A track record of independently designing and delivering large, multi-system or multi-team projects from architecture through operation.

- Demonstrated ability to work across multiple layers of the stack: backend services plus web and/or mobile , and a willingness to work wherever a problem requires.

- 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.

- Fluency in using AI coding tools and automation as part of your everyday workflow.

- Expertise in unit and integration testing and a commitment to code health, testing, and maintainability.

- A customer and product-focused mindset, with the ability to make well-reasoned tradeoffs between speed and quality.

- Demonstrated technical leadership: influencing architecture and prioritization across teams, mentoring engineers, and building consensus among cross-functional stakeholders.

- Excellent communication and teamwork skills, including the ability to drive alignment across teams and time zones.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience in the crypto or fintech industry, or as a user of crypto products.

- Experience with onboarding, identity/KYC, compliance, or customer support tooling.

- Experience building and operating AI agents or agentic workflows in production.

- Familiarity with React/React Native and cloud/microservices architecture.
