Staff Software Engineer - 340BCheck

Salary Range: 170000 to 200000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

You Can Expect To

• Set technical direction for the 340BCheck team, designing work that spans multiple domains (front-end, back-end, data, ci/cd, infrastructure) over months, not sprints
• Own critical architectural decisions for apps and services built on React & Typescript, Python & FastAPI, Terraform, built and deployed by CodeBuild; and guide the team on architectural choices.
• Make critical technical and architectural calls within the timelines the team needs.
• Drive proactive refactoring of services and application to help support 340BCheck as it scales.
• Identify and resolve the hardest technical problems in the codebase; expert-level debugging across distributed systems and complex applications
• Elevate the whole team's technical ability and execution; the goal is doubling (or more) the team's collective output, not just personal 5–10x contributions
• Lead cross-team dependency management and coordinate cross-discipline efforts with Product, QA, and adjacent engineering teams while maintaining productive relationships across the organization.
• Communicate large systems and technical tradeoffs clearly to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders, including in roadmap and planning conversations
• Drive improvements in team culture
• Influence at the Engineering Manager level; partner closely with your EM and fellow technical leads on team execution, hiring signal, technical roadmap, and provide technical guidance across the broader engineering team, not just direct collaborators.
• Mentor senior engineers and serve as an escalation point for the team's most difficult technical challenges
• Maintain a "customer service" mentality toward the rest of the team; your job is to help make everyone else's work better

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 9+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated depth across the full stack
• Acute specialization in one or more areas (front-end, back-end, or infrastructure) combined with working knowledge across the rest of the stack
• Track record of contributing to technical direction for a team and driving multi-month, cross-domain initiatives to completion
• Strong understanding of relational database systems (MySQL), with experience designing for scale
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and owning production services end-to-end and driving observability (DataDog)
• Demonstrated ability to influence architectural decisions across multiple teams, not just your own including long-term architectural direction.
• Excellent communication skills; able to describe large systems and complex tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders and drive alignment across teams
• A leadership style rooted in service and collaboration: you measure your success by the team's output, not just your own
• Experience using gen AI in your own work, and advising a team with a gen AI assisted workflow (implementation, reviews with a human in the loop, etc)
• Experience mentoring senior engineers and building technical judgment in others
• Comfortable co-leading technical direction alongside other senior technical voices on the team
