We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer Engineer to drive execution and technical strategy across multiple teams.

- Provide technical leadership to 2+ product engineering teams, providing mentorship on topics like longer-term technical planning, design & architecture, operational excellence and efficiency, and prioritizing tech debt.

- Collaborate on strategic roadmap planning and sequencing, and prioritize technical investments as a technical partner to an Engineering Director and Product Director.
- Collaborate with front-line Engineering Managers on creating growth opportunities for their reports, solutions to address technical skill gaps, and providing technical feedback on their reports.
- Build strong cross-functional relationships with business partners (Solutions Engineering, User Operations, Customer Success, Product Marketing) and with key community developers. Yes, you’ll be talking to customers directly!
About you
- You have 7+ years of experience working as a technical contributor in a full-stack environment, with experience as a technical leader over multiple engineering teams.
- You have experience working across a large codebase and product and a track record of successfully leading multiple complex, technical projects across multiple teams. You are experienced in shepherding a technical design from document to production.
- You are proactive about identifying opportunities for your team or the broader organization to improve and advocate or drive for those improvements.

- You are experienced at mentoring and leveling up engineers at various experience levels.
