**Role:** Fullstack Engineering
**Experience:** 10+ years
**Skills:** Node.js, TypeScript, React, SQL, AWS, GCP, AI Tools
**Posted:** 2026-07-27

> Staff full-stack engineer who ships complex product features end-to-end, drives AI-native development practices, owns production systems with observability and reliability, and influences teams through hands-on mentoring and pairing in a dynamic growth-stage environment. Requires 10+ years experience, strong systems thinking, and product mindset.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Do

- Embed in key initiatives or pods and ship meaningful product features using advanced engineering practices.
- Think product-first by owning outcomes, not just tickets, and ensuring your work delivers real customer impact.
- Design, build, and ship features end-to-end, from problem definition through production.
- Use AI as a core part of your workflow, including writing specs, generating code, critically evaluating outputs, and improving development loops.
- Practice and model augmented coding while maintaining high standards for code quality, testing, system design, and deployment confidence.
- Pair with engineers inside their actual workflows to transfer practices through collaboration, not instruction.
- Drive ambiguous or high-impact problems when the path forward is unclear.
- Make thoughtful technical decisions with incomplete information and adjust when data or production reality points to a better path.
- Contribute across the full stack, including Node, TypeScript, React, SQL, and cloud-native services across AWS and GCP.
- Shape the technical foundation alongside feature work, including service boundaries, data flows, APIs, observability, reliability, and deployment practices.
- Debug complex issues across distributed systems and make architectural decisions that hold up beyond a single feature.
- Own production systems, including observability, reliability, deployments, postmortems, and on-call responsibilities.
- Improve and evolve large, interconnected production codebases with empathy for legacy systems and the teams that maintain them.
- Influence technical direction within your pod and contribute to broader engineering improvements across pods.
- Leave systems, practices, and teams better than you found them.

## How Success Will Be Measured

- You deliver high-quality, customer-impacting features from concept through production.
- You drive measurable improvements in team velocity, quality, reliability, AI-native development adoption, or engineering practices.
- You positively influence teams through mentorship, pairing, shared standards, and improved practices that continue after your direct involvement decreases.

## What You Should Have

- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping products that matter.
- Deep fluency in at least one modern typed web stack. We use Node, TypeScript, React, and SQL; depth of judgment and ability to transfer skills matter more than an exact technology match.
- Strong systems thinking, including architectural judgment across domains, debugging across service boundaries, and sound decision-making under pressure.
- Experience owning services end-to-end, including build, deploy, run, monitoring, observability, on-call support, and postmortems.
- Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or similar.
- Strong production instincts and experience making decisions that keep systems healthy over time.
- Legacy empathy and a thoughtful approach to modernizing large existing codebases while keeping production systems stable.
- Strong testing standards, including experience establishing or improving testing practices for teams.
- Ability to navigate and improve large, existing codebases quickly.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with shifting priorities, loose structure, and multiple hats.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate between engineering depth, product needs, and business context.
- Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Product and Design as true peers.
- A product mindset, starting with the customer problem, challenging assumptions, and connecting technical decisions to business outcomes.
- Significant experience using AI tools to improve development workflows and outcomes, with concrete examples of faster delivery, higher quality, fewer handoffs, or fundamentally different workflows.
- A track record of mentoring, pairing, elevating other engineers, and influencing without authority.

## Nice-to-Haves

- You’ll Love This Job If You:
  - Enjoy owning complex problems end-to-end, from customer need through production and team adoption.
  - Thrive in dynamic, growth-stage environments where priorities shift, scope is fluid, and ambiguity is common.
  - Are deeply excited about AI-native development and evolving how software is built.
  - Like working closely with Product and Design as peers, holding customer context and technical context in the same conversation.
  - Take pride in improving systems, practices, and team capability, not just individual features.
  - Prefer shipping, learning, and iterating over waiting for perfect requirements.
  - Enjoy mentoring, pairing, and transferring practices through hands-on collaboration.
  - Want to influence technical direction without relying on formal authority.
  - Find energy in modernizing and improving real production systems while keeping them stable.
  - Like balancing speed with strong engineering standards, architectural judgment, and quality.
