Staff Software Engineer

Description:

There are plenty of opportunities to join a startup.

Very few let you join one with meaningful scale already behind it, a world-class team already assembled, and still enough surface area left to shape what gets built.

This is one of those opportunities.

We’re working at the intersection of deep technology and modern cloud infrastructure — building systems that push technical boundaries rather than incrementally improving what already exists. The problems are difficult, the engineering bar is high, and the work sits close to the core of the product.

The company has recently raised $30M Series A and, rather than scaling headcount aggressively, has deliberately built a small team of exceptional engineers.

Today, engineering sits at around 10–15 people.

That team includes people who have:

• built and scaled products at global technology companies
• founded and exited startups
• operated in high-performance engineering environments
• shipped products used at significant scale

The philosophy is simple: keep the team small, keep standards high, and give exceptional people room to do the best work of their careers.

What You’ll Actually Work On

This is a backend-leaning, product-focused role.

You’ll work on:

• distributed cloud systems
• highly scalable backend architecture
• infrastructure and platform capabilities
• complex system design challenges
• performance, reliability and developer tooling
• translating difficult technical problems into products customers use

You’ll work closely with product and founders and be trusted to own problems end-to-end.

This isn’t an environment where engineering operates as a service function.

Engineering drives outcomes.
