> Staff Full-Stack Engineer leading end-to-end delivery of real-time product platform systems, including Node/TypeScript backends, React frontends, SIP softswitches, and WebSocket UIs for live calling workflows. Requires 8+ years experience, expertise in full-stack technologies, and cross-team technical leadership.
## Job Description
## What You’ll Do

- Own complex product areas end-to-end—from discovery and design to implementation, rollout, and iteration—operating across Node/TypeScript backends and React frontends.
- Lead architecture and system design for real-time, high-volume workflows (e.g., call routing on an event-driven SIP softswitch, UI over WebSockets, streaming audio for speech recognition).
- Author clear technical design docs, set standards for code quality, testing, performance, and observability, and ensure designs scale simply as we grow.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with PM, Design, and other engineers to translate ambiguous requirements into intuitive, performant experiences; make crisp trade-offs and document decisions.
- Mentor and uplevel engineers through design reviews, pairing, and feedback; model engineering excellence and foster a culture of craftsmanship and clarity.
- Improve developer experience (DevEx) and reliability by influencing APIs, data contracts, testing strategies, and progressive delivery practices across teams.
- Participate in on-call and help uphold operational excellence for the areas you own.

## What You’ll Bring

- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including demonstrated Staff-level scope (cross-team technical leadership, strategy, and delivery).
- Proven track record owning products/features through the full lifecycle—from discovery to deployment and iteration.
- Expertise with TypeScript/Node.js and modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React), plus strong SQL fundamentals with an RDBMS such as PostgreSQL.
- Depth in distributed systems or real-time application patterns (e.g., WebSockets/streaming/PubSub), and performance optimization across the stack.
- Strong product mindset and communication: you simplify complexity, align stakeholders, and connect technical decisions to user and business impact.

## Nice to Have

- Cloud infrastructure experience with one of GCP, AWS, or Azure; familiarity with CI/CD and progressive delivery practices.
- Experience in telephony, SIP softswitches (e.g., FreeSWITCH), or adjacent real-time/event-driven domains.
- Familiarity with our stack: NodeJS with TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform, and FreeSWITCH.
