Staff Software Engineer, Merchants & Ads Review

What you’ll do:

• Own end-to-end technical delivery for cross-team initiatives—from problem framing and technical strategy through architecture, implementation, rollout, and iteration.
• Build and evolve ML-, GenAI-, and AI-assisted merchant, ad, and advertiser review experiences with strong validation and guardrails.
• Mentor junior and senior engineers and raise the bar for technical design, engineering quality, and production readiness across the team.
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders on a variety of projects to improve the safety of our platform, increase efficiency, reduce time to spend, and generate revenue.
• Use AI to accelerate your own work—across exploration, drafting, analysis, and synthesis—while maintaining strong judgment, rigorous validation, and accountability for outcomes.

What we’re looking for:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time as a Staff, Senior Staff, or equivalent-level IC building and operating complex production systems.
• Strong track record in ads, commerce, trust & safety, or GenAI.
• Deep experience in systems design, full-stack software engineering, and data-intensive systems, with the ability to navigate tradeoffs in performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Experience building or partnering on ML-, AI-, or GenAI-adjacent systems, with a pragmatic understanding of where these technologies add value and how to deploy them responsibly.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical direction without directly owning every implementation detail.
• Demonstrated experience building and enhancing cross-functional partnerships with other teams and organizations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field—or equivalent practical experience.
