Your Epic Quest as Our Staff Engineer
The Staff Engineer finds the problems worth solving and sees them through. They drive technical direction with their own ideas and the evidence to back them, set the standard for technical quality from the code they write to the systems running in production, make AI a reliable part of how engineering work gets done, and raise the level of the engineers around them and of those we hire.
Your Day-to-Day Superpowers: What You’ll Actually Do:
• Solve the problems that matter: Identify what limits how fast the business can move, advocate for solutions with the people who own the decision, and drive the agreed fix through, working with the owners of every system involved
• Lead projects end to end: Delegate so others grow, step in when anyone is stuck, and own the whole team’s output, crediting the team and taking problems on yourself first
• Set technical direction: Set engineering direction alongside other technical leaders, proactively defining the tools, libraries, and practices used across departments,
and champion the group’s decision even when your own proposal loses
• Build the evidence: Build the measurement when the data doesn’t yet exist, along with a clear account of the alternatives and trade-offs
• Design in the open: Share designs early & rough and write down why decisions were made and what was unknown at the time
• Ship on the hardest problems: Ship code on the team’s hardest problems, seeking out the difficult work, and review promptly, challenging the code and never the person
• Own production: Own what runs in production: its reliability, operability, and long-term health. Prevent incidents by building in observability and tested recovery, and fix root causes
• Take charge when things break: When anything goes wrong in production, take ownership at once, whoever’s system it is. Communicate early and calmly, drive the fix to completion, and review systems and decisions, never individuals
• Make AI a reliable part
