Sr. Staff Engineer

What You’ll Accomplish

In your first 3 months, you will:

• Learn the Growth stack end to end, from data ingestion and activation to measurement and conversion surfaces.
• Build strong partnerships across Product, Marketing, Data Science, Platform Engineering, and Staff engineers across all 5 pods.
• Author and drive an initial high-impact RFC, such as experimentation convergence, BFF strategy, or event taxonomy.

In your first 6 months, you will:

• Publish the architectural vision for Growth’s data and activation stack, including API boundaries, event pipelines, and third-party integrations.
• Lead the MWeb Next.js migration strategy and the SplitIO to Statsig convergence plan.
• Improve trust in Growth data through observability standards, SLOs, and data contracts.
• Standardize platform patterns such as BFFs, Temporal adoption, CI and testing templates, and deployment practices.

In your first year, you will:

• Improve cross-pod execution through clearer ownership, faster dependency resolution, and more consistent architecture.
• Lead 2 or more major cross-pod initiatives from concept to production.
• Turn AI and engineering automation opportunities into durable leverage across the neighborhood.
• Develop Staff engineers into strong pod-level technical leaders.

Who You Are

• A technical leader who has driven architecture and modernization across multiple teams or pods.
• A growth-minded product thinker who understands funnels, experimentation, and business metrics.
• A hands-on architect who still codes on critical paths and raises the velocity of others.
• A strong cross-functional partner who can turn ambiguous problems into clear technical strategy.
• A learn-it-all and bar-raiser who reflects Hinge Health’s values in communication, ownership, and experimentation.

Basic Qualifications

• Significant experience as a senior IC owning architecture and technical strategy across multiple teams in growth, marketing, or consumer product environments.
• Deep experience with modern web stacks such as React and Next.js, experimentation platforms such as Split.io, Statsig, or Optimizely, and event-driven data systems.
• Strong track record building reliable data and activation platforms, including event taxonomies, data contracts, observability, and downstream data quality.
• Proven ability to lead cross-team technical initiatives, resolve architectural disagreements, and drive adoption of shared patterns.
• Strong product partnership skills with experience shaping growth bets, experimentation strategies, and success metrics.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading major modernization efforts such as framework migrations, experimentation platform consolidation, or large-scale data migrations.
• Experience with backend-for-frontend patterns and workflow orchestration tools such as Temporal.
• Experience standardizing AI-augmented engineering workflows at team or org scale.
• Prior experience operating at Senior Staff or Principal scope in a high-growth environment.
• Familiarity with healthcare, B2B2C, or other regulated environments.
