Job Summary:
As a Senior Staff Software Engineer – Engineering Excellence, you will be the primary visionary
for how our engineering organisation builds, tests, and deploys software. This is a high-impact,
high-autonomy role designed for a technical leader who thrives at the intersection of software
architecture, infrastructure, performance, and developer experience.
You will define the "Future of Engineering" at Chargebee, serving as a technical sounding board
for leadership while remaining deeply "hands-on" to design the underlying systems that
empower hundreds of engineers to ship high-quality code at velocity.
Key Responsibilities:
● Architectural Leadership: Architect and implement deployment strategies such as blue-green, canary releases, and automated rollbacks
● Scale & Performance: Build internal tools or systems that enable engineering teams to improve development and deployment velocity
● Driving Innovation: Design and develop scalable CI/CD pipelines supporting multi-repo and monorepo setups
● Strategic Advisory: Act as a critical advisor to Engineering Leadership (VP/CTO level),
translating business needs into technical strategies that improve developer throughput.
● Influence & Collaboration: Work across diverse product and infrastructure teams to
unify engineering standards and drive the adoption of "Golden Paths."
Required Qualifications:
● Deep Technical Expertise: 12+ years of experience of building systems and tools to improve developer velocity and feedback loops
● Architectural Mastery: Proven ability to design complex, multi-tier architectures with a
focus on modularity, observability, and security.
● Performance & Scalability: Proven experience in designing, benchmarking, and
optimising high-throughput, low-latency systems at scale. Strong understanding of
Integration and enhancing test automation frameworks within CI/CD pipelines
● DevOps & Cloud Native: Expert-level knowledge of Cloud providers (AWS/GCP/Azure)
and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
● CI/CD Guru: Extensive experience building or optimizing high-performance CI/CD
pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Tekton, or GitHub Actions) for large monorepos or
microservice ecosystems.
● Systems Thinking: The ability to look at the entire engineering lifecycle—from local
development to production—and identify systemic bottlenecks.
Soft Skills & Leadership
● Influence without Authority: You can persuade senior stakeholders and lead-level
engineers to adopt new paradigms through technical merit and clear communication.
● Mentorship: A passion for leveling up the engineers around you through design
reviews, RFCs.
● Pragmatic Visionary: You can balance the desire for "perfect" architecture with the
practical needs of the business.
What Success Looks Like
● Reduced Lead Time: Significant, measurable reduction in the time it takes for a line of
code to reach production.
● Developer Joy: High internal NPS scores regarding our tooling and development
environment.
● Reliability: Continuously optimize pipelines for performance, reliability, and scalability across large engineering teams
