Staff Fullstack Engineer

Requirements

• 10+ years of engineering experience with a personal track record of architecting and shipping high-scale, high-complexity production systems.
• Deep fullstack depth - comfortable writing production Node and React at a high level of craft.
• Experience setting technical direction across multiple engineers or teams - you've been the person whose architectural calls others built on top of.
• Strong record of working closely with cross-functional product teams to ship customer-facing software that holds up in production.
• Meaningful time at an early-stage, high-growth company - startup work as a core part of your career, not a brief stint, on teams that shipped weekly or faster with output that held up under that pace.
• A career spent hands-on in production code, shipping end-to-end - not specs written or systems proposed, but production outcomes you owned: the hardest bugs, gnarliest migrations, and most fragile systems.
• Evidence of force-multiplying the engineers around you - through design reviews, mentorship, or code that became a template others built from. References should speak to how the bar moved up around you.
• You'll stand out if you have:
• Experience building B2B software and/or fintech software - bonus for wealth management, custody, financial data infrastructure, public APIs, or MCP servers.
• Experience at seed/early-stage startups (eg, being a first-10 engineer at a company).
• Experience with distributed systems at scale - event streaming, sync engines, idempotency, consistency models.
• Experience building and maintaining open source software.
• Previously started a company and/or launched personal projects.
• Experience with AI development tooling, or building AI/LLM features into production products.
• Our tech stack:
• React, Node, Fastify, MUI, React Query, Vite, Storybook, Playwright, Go, Postgres, gRPC, Protobuf, Redis, AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions

Benefits

Additional Information

Role overview: We're looking for a Staff fullstack engineer to set technical direction for Dispatch's platform. You'll own the highest-leverage architecture decisions, ship the systems behind our hardest problems, and force-multiply multiple engineering teams. This is a senior IC role - no direct reports - reporting to an Engineering Manager. Where you'll make an impact: Lead the architecture for our hardest cross-cutting platform decisions - service boundaries, data models, sync semantics, and integration patterns - and make them defensibly, in writing and in conversation with the engineers who will live with them. Ship the highest-complexity systems end-to-end - data orchestration, sync, custodian integrations, and customer-facing apps. You stay hands-on in production code. Raise the technical bar across the engineering org on system design, code quality, and observability. Engineers across teams seek your review because it sharpens their work. Partner with Product, Design, and engineering leadership to shape the roadmap - surfacing trade-offs, sequencing decisions, and risks the plan depends on. Mentor and uplevel senior engineers without managing them. Your influence shows up in design reviews, the systems you build, and the example you set.
