About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer (Product) to help shape the technical evolution of our product. This is a senior individual contributor role focused on building high-quality product systems, making sound technical decisions, and supporting other engineers through collaboration and example.

This role is hands-on and does not involve people management. You’ll work closely with engineers, Product, and Design to deliver meaningful customer value while keeping an eye on long-term maintainability and quality.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build complex, customer-facing product features and systems
  • Take ownership of technical decisions within a product area or initiative
  • Work closely with Product and Design to shape practical, scalable solutions
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and technical direction across teams
  • Maintain a high bar for code quality through reviews and shared standards
  • Support and mentor other engineers through collaboration and knowledge sharing
  • Participate in production support and help resolve incidents when needed

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an experienced engineer who is comfortable working with autonomy, navigating ambiguity, and influencing outcomes through clear thinking and collaboration.

  • 10+ years of experience building and maintaining production software
  • Experience designing and delivering complex systems or features end to end
  • Solid background in modern web application development
  • Experience with TypeScript and React, or similar modern frontend technologies
  • Experience with Node.js
  • Experience working in a cloud environment (Azure preferred, but not required)
  • Familiarity with API design, data modelling, and system boundaries
  • Clear communication skills and a thoughtful, collaborative approach

We don’t expect deep expertise in every area. Strength in some areas and working knowledge in others is absolutely fine.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in B2B SaaS or complex product environments
  • Exposure to regulated, security-conscious, or enterprise systems
  • Experience contributing to cross-team technical initiatives
  • Interest in mentoring and supporting other engineers
