Description
We are seeking a visionary and technically exceptional Sr. Staff Engineer to lead architectural innovation and strategic technical direction. This individual will operate at the organizational level, shaping the long-term technical landscape, enabling cross-functional execution at scale, and aligning engineering efforts with product and business outcomes.
Responsibilities:
- Architectural Vision & Strategy: Define and evolve the architectural vision for customer-facing systems in alignment with business strategy. Lead cross-org initiatives that address long-term scale, system boundaries, and foundational capabilities.
- Technical Leadership & Governance: Establish patterns and frameworks that ensure quality, resilience, and operational excellence across the organization. Serve as the authority on design decisions and foster alignment across teams.
- Org-Wide Enablement & Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to shape product direction and ensure our architecture supports strategic goals. Drive org-wide adoption of scalable practices, tools, and development norms.
- Mentorship & Talent Growth: Mentor senior technical leaders, elevating engineering capabilities across the organization. Champion initiatives that foster talent density, engineering rigor, and a culture of continuous learning.
- Ambiguity Navigation & Execution Acceleration: Lead through complexity and ambiguity, clarifying direction where ownership is unclear. Remove organizational blockers, simplify decision-making, and accelerate delivery of strategic initiatives.
- Customer-Centric Engineering: Translate customer needs and product goals into scalable technical solutions. Define principles and patterns that embed customer obsession into our platform’s architecture.
- Sustainability & Scalability: Design systems and team boundaries to support sustainable growth. Drive investment in non-functional priorities (e.g., observability, migrations, reliability) early in the design process.
Requirements:
- 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong record of group-level technical leadership.
- Experience with technologies such as Kotlin, Java or Go, with a deep understanding of system design for scale and performance.
- Experience introducing and scaling shared infrastructure, frameworks, or libraries across multiple teams.
- Proficiency with CI/CD workflows (e.g., CircleCI, GitHub), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), and observability tools (e.g., Datadog).
- Demonstrated ability to drive architectural clarity and strategic technical alignment across functions.
- Experience translating customer and clinical needs into reliable, maintainable, and high-impact technical solutions.
- A track record of driving meaningful improvements in developer experience, team velocity, and system sustainability.
Nice to Have:
- Create alignment and momentum in ambiguous or complex technical spaces.
- Balance short-term deliverables with long-term scalability, system health, and customer experience.
- Lead with curiosity, adaptability, and principled decision-making.
- Take initiative to address cross-squad blockers, scale constraints, or misaligned priorities before they escalate.
- Drive consistent, action-oriented execution even without perfect clarity.
- Mentor senior engineering talent and reinforce a culture of growth, feedback, and high technical standards.
- Inspire confidence through transparency, humility, and deep technical credibility.
- Advocate for customers through scalable, resilient design that anticipates clinical complexity and future scale.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles.
- Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days.
