Full job description

Job Description

As a Staff Software Engineer (IC4) within the Systems team, you will act as a principal technical architect and champion for our foundational infrastructure. You will be responsible for defining the technical direction of our core distributed systems, solving complex scaling paradigms, and engineering high-throughput, low-latency platforms that power our global SaaS ecosystem. You will operate as a strategic partner to engineering leadership, balancing bleeding-edge system design with long-term operational excellence.

Impact You Will Create

Define Foundational Architecture: Architect, pioneer, and own next-generation, multi-tenant cloud-native distributed infrastructure from zero to scale, establishing design patterns that serve as the blueprint across the entire engineering organization.
Guarantee Tier-0 Production Excellence: Set the technical standard for mission-critical systems, engineering multi-region fault tolerance, advanced disaster recovery, and deep observability to guarantee 99.999% ("five nines") availability at scale.
Act as a Multi-Org Force Multiplier: Guide and grow senior technical talent across multiple teams. Raise the technical bar through foundational design reviews, steering committee contributions, and cross-functional technical alignment.
Pioneer AI-Driven Platform Evolution: Strategic integration and optimization of autonomous AI systems, LLM infrastructure, and next-gen AI tools to radically accelerate developer velocity and enhance platform capabilities.

Roles & Responsibilities

Strategic Infrastructure Lifecycle Ownership: Drive the long-term roadmap for our core systems. Own the full lifecycle of platform and infrastructure initiatives, transforming highly ambiguous business visions into concrete, scalable technical realities.
High-Performance Distributed Systems Architecture: Design, build, and optimize next-generation backend services, high-throughput streaming pipelines, and robust microservices capable of handling millions of concurrent connections.
System Bottleneck & Performance Engineering: Lead deep-dive architectural refactoring and performance tuning across the entire stack, optimizing kernel/OS interactions, network protocols, memory management, and database query execution paths.
Global Production Governance: Champion systemic resilience by architecting advanced service meshes, rate-limiting frameworks, circuit breakers, multi-region failover protocols, and automated chaos engineering practices.
Cross-Functional & Executive Alignment: Partner closely with Principal Engineers, SRE Directors, and Product Executives to translate product roadmaps into long-term infrastructure capacity and architectural readiness.
Engineering Standards & Governance: Define, document, and enforce company-wide engineering standards for distributed systems, advanced design patterns, and systemic security controls.

Qualifications

Skills & Competencies

Advanced Systems Engineering: Master-level fluency in backend systems languages (e.g., Go, Java, Rust, C++), concurrent programming, asynchronous execution frameworks, and low-latency microservices design.
Advanced System Design & Distributed Systems: Deep understanding of distributed systems theory (e.g., CAP theorem, consensus protocols like Raft/Paxos, replication, partitioning, and sharding).
Data Infrastructure Rigor: Expert-level knowledge of data modeling, transaction isolation levels, and tuning distributed storage systems (Relational, NoSQL, NewSQL, distributed caches like Redis, and message buses like Kafka/Pulsar).
AI & Next-Gen Infrastructure Fluency: Hands-on experience architecting vector databases, optimizing hardware accelerators (GPUs/TPUs), or building backend infrastructure optimized for AI model hosting and routing.
Systems Telemetry & Observability: Expert capability in designing structured logging, distributed tracing, and metric aggregation models across vast distributed fleets.
Influence Without Authority: Exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical executives while inspiring and aligning diverse engineering groups.

Qualifications

Professional Timeline: 9+ years of progressive experience in software systems engineering, with a proven track record of advancing into staff-level or principal-level architectural responsibilities within high-growth product organizations.
Production Track Record: A verifiable history of designing and shipping high-scale, enterprise-grade SaaS infrastructure that handles massive transactional throughput and has successfully survived major architectural evolutionary cycles.
Execution Style: A highly autonomous, strategic thinker who thrives in high-ambiguity environments, commands deep respect through technical execution, and inherently balances rapid business value delivery with reducing organizational technical debt.
Education Baseline: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or a highly quantitative technical field.
