Staff Full Stack Engineer

Responsibilities

• Leadership Excellence
• Lead by technical example - your influence comes from the quality of your work, your judgment and your ability to bring others along with you, not from authority.
• Own technical direction within your team and workstream, collaborating closely with principal engineers and the Head of Engineering to align with broader architectural strategy.
• Mentor senior engineers through pairing, code reviews and design discussions - raising the technical floor of the people around you.
• Champion engineering best practices across the team, introducing standards and patterns that improve consistency, reliability and developer experience.
• Act as a subject matter expert in your core technical domain, and be the person others turn to when the problem is hard.
• Delivery Excellence
• Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-stakeholder projects - from scoping and design through to deployment, feedback and iteration.
• Translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear technical plans, breaking down large initiatives into well-defined milestones that the team can execute against.
• Manage delivery dependencies across teams and communicate progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Drive a culture of outcome-oriented delivery within your workstream - focused on impact shipped, not activity completed.
• Proactively identify and remove blockers before they slow the team down.
• Operational Excellence
• Take ownership of the reliability and observability of systems within your domain - ensuring they are monitored, well-understood and resilient to failure.
• Handle production incidents with confidence, leading postmortems that result in genuine process improvements rather than just documentation.
• Set the standard for what good operational practice looks like within your team - monitoring, alerting, runbooks and on-call hygiene.
• Contribute to company-wide reliability initiatives led by principal engineers and the Head of Engineering.
• Technical Excellence
• Make and defend strong architectural decisions within your workstream, balancing pragmatism with long-term technical health.
• Write production-quality code consistently - this is a fully IC role and hands-on technical contribution is expected at all times.
• Drive scalability, modularity and performance improvements in the areas of the codebase you own.
• Champion code quality through rigorous testing, thoughtful documentation and constructive code reviews that develop the engineers around you.
• Proactively identify technical debt and lead initiatives to address it before it compounds.
• Culture
• Communicate internally and externally about new features, be it collecting feedback pre-implementation or explaining them on launch.
