As a Staff Software Engineer, Travel & Expense, you will operate across multiple teams, including expenses, travel, policy, and spend controls, to identify and drive the most important technical problems to resolution.

Your mandate is to find the most critical issues that fall between teams and drive them to a solution.

This is a leadership role without direct reports, where you will set technical direction, raise the bar in design and review, and be a force multiplier for the engineers and EMs you work alongside.

- Identify the highest-impact technical problems across Travel & Expense , including the cross-team gaps that individual teams can't see or own , and drive them to resolution.

- Partner as a peer with existing Staff Engineers and with EMs across expenses, travel, policy, and spend controls to align on direction and unblock execution.

- Act as a force multiplier: mentor senior engineers, improve how teams design and ship, and grow the next generation of technical leaders.

- Bring an AI-forward mindset to how the org builds, reviews, and operates.

- Contribute directly to the group's technical strategy and inform where leadership invests.

Requirements:

- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership across multiple teams or a group.

- Demonstrated ability to identify and drive ambiguous, cross-cutting problems to resolution without a defined charter.

- Deep experience designing and operating large-scale backend systems in production.

- Strong collaboration skills; a track record of raising the bar for engineers around you and working effectively with both ICs and managers.
