Staff Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Ireland.

📋 Description

• Taking ownership of the most intricate and uncertain challenges across product and platform, instilling structure, clarity, and momentum where the way forward is not yet apparent.

• Influencing technical and product direction collaboratively by helping to define practical approaches, effectively sequencing tasks, and guiding roadmaps through sound engineering judgment.

• Facilitating cross-team alignment and execution on initiatives that span multiple squads.

• Enhancing the effectiveness of fellow engineers through technical leadership, decision-making support, hands-on problem-solving, and clear communication throughout the delivery process.

• Elevating the overall system by identifying opportunities in architecture, reliability, and developer experience.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proficiency in backend development is essential. You have built and managed production backend systems, APIs, data models, and distributed services relied upon by real customers.

• You have experience across the entire stack. You’ve successfully delivered full-stack features from start to finish and are confident in doing so again.

• You shape systems beyond individual squads. You have made architectural decisions with a future-oriented perspective, balancing scalability, maintainability, and practicality.

• You take responsibility for outcomes rather than just completing tasks. You can highlight achievements you have personally influenced, not merely what you have delivered.

• You have experience working in constrained environments. Whether in a startup, high-stakes initiative, or developing a greenfield system under tight deadlines, you have successfully navigated real ambiguity.

• You interact directly with customers. You have engaged with users and allowed their feedback to inform your developments.

• You create leverage throughout the organization. You mentor others, set examples, and help remove obstacles.

• You possess strong communication and technical leadership skills. You convey information clearly to engineers, product managers, and stakeholders.
