Staff Software Engineer (San Jose)

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will help implement the technology strategy across the software delivery teams. This role focuses on building reusable software components, architectural patterns, and tooling that enable scalable and high-quality delivery. You will influence engineering best practices through hands-on design sessions, code reviews, and technical leadership. This individual will be a key contributor toward achieving long-term strategic technology goals.

Core Responsibilities

Lead the design and implementation of complex, cloudnative, distributed systems with a strong emphasis on reliability, performance, and maintainability. Define service boundaries, APIs, and data flows across multiple teams and domains.

Set engineering standards and technical direction
Establish best practices for system design, coding standards, CI/CD, testing, and observability. Act as a steward of longterm technical health and proactively reduce systemic risk.

Mentor and elevate other engineers
Coach Senior and midlevel engineers through design reviews, pairing, and technical guidance. Influence through example rather than people management, raising the overall engineering bar.

Crossfunctional collaboration
Partner closely with Product, Architecture, and Engineering leadership to translate business and operational goals into robust technical solutions, balancing delivery speed with longterm scalability.

Production ownership and operational excellence
Own systems endtoend in production, including monitoring, incident response, rootcause analysis, and continuous improvement. Reliability and observability are firstclass concerns.
