What’s the opportunity?

As Staff Engineer, you will play a leading role in turning our product vision into reality, while working with other senior Product Engineering staff to design and develop our systems. 


You’ll join an enthusiastic and experienced Product Engineering team in our Bangalore office, with plenty of flexibility to work from home as required. When you join our team, you’ll be the development lead for India, which currently consists of one team with expectations to expand. 


This isn’t your average Lead Engineer role; expect to be heavily involved in product discovery as the Engineering voice alongside your peers in Product and Design. You’ll be engaged in forward planning while also coaching and pairing with your team to execute on product requirements. You’ll also take a seat on our Technology Council to establish contemporary systems architectures that are highly scalable, durable, and based on current best practices.

Our product is written mainly in Java, Spring and ReactJS, and runs on AWS across multiple regions. We use tools like GitHub, Docker and Buildkite and deploy our systems and monitor our technology using CloudWatch, OpsGenie and Open Telemetry while embracing AI tooling to deliver with efficiency. We’re looking for someone to help us evolve how our systems hang together while we grow our team and capability.

 
What will U be doing?

Creating change in a complex system. The technical lead for a team, making  well-considered decisions around patterns, principals, frameworks, languages and tools, thinking through and mitigating for potential cascading impacts of those changes.

Acting as a trusted advisor. Partner with PMs, engineers and customer-facing teams to negotiate appropriate product architectures with consideration for user needs, business goals and technology constraints.

Designing and developing well-architected systems. Understand and contribute to our product source code and cloud infrastructure.
Designing holistically, delivering iteratively. Break down system-wide architecture recommendations into small, intelligently planned increments for delivery. 
Advocate for technology needs. Translate technology risk into opportunity during product and technology roadmap discussions and advise on the required 

 areas of focus.
Coach and mentor. Thoughtfully lead the team around you and assist with career development of less experienced staff on our teams.


 What we’re looking for

  • Demonstrated experience as a lead or staff engineer, with at least 10 years  experience in technology roles
     
  • Experience working on technical leadership teams involved in roadmap  planning, hiring and staff capacity planning
     
  • You’re opinionated on what “great code” looks like and you’re passionate about code quality
     
  • Experience working on complex systems and cloud architectures
     
  • Excellent understanding of the Java programming language, frameworks such as Spring & SpringBoot and frontend technologies like React.
     
  • Excellent understanding of data structures and database design
     
  • Excellent knowledge of AWS services, design patterns and practices
     
  • Highly effective at communicating, and comfortable whiteboarding architecture ideas with teams of engineers, product managers, and business analysts
     
  • Desire to challenge the status quo and maturity to know when to compromise
     
  • Respect for and ability to collaborate and influence team members from all disciplines and at all levels throughout the business
