About The Role

The Staff Engineer role is a critical role in the Engineering team. You will be the backbone of our backend engineering team.

This is a hands-on individual contributor that requires the ability to hire and grow top engineering talent and have the ability to roll up the sleeves to code and code reviews as required for feature delivery.

The role also requires strong strategic thinking, with the ability to think of out-of-the-box solutions and make build/buy/partner decisions. Strong communication inside and outside of engineering is critical, working closely with customers and the product and operations teams to translate customer requirements into code.
