Staff Software Engineer

The Staff Software Engineer provides technical leadership that spans multiple teams and business units within a division, ensuring architectural consistency, guiding cross-team initiatives, and mentoring engineers to raise the technical bar across the organization. This role builds on the team-focused responsibilities of a Lead Engineer and bridges toward the division-wide or deep-specialization responsibilities of a Principal Engineer.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership Across Business Units

• Provide architectural direction and oversight for multiple products or teams within a business unit, ensuring systems are designed for scalability, security, and long-term maintainability.

• Identify and address technical challenges that span across teams and require coordination beyond a single product.

• Partner with business unit leadership to align initiatives with division-level strategies and standards.

• Apply strong diagramming and modeling skills to communicate complex system designs, data flows, and architecture decisions clearly across teams and stakeholders.

Collaboration & Influence

• Collaborate with Lead Engineers to ensure delivery execution is technically sound and aligned with broader business-unit objectives.

• Work closely with product and business leadership to ensure technical solutions meet current and future business needs.

• Influence technical decisions and build consensus across teams and stakeholders at the business-unit level.

Mentorship & Growth

• Mentor engineers and technical leads, fostering professional growth and developing the next generation of technical leaders.

• Promote best practices in design, coding, testing, and operations across multiple teams.

• Serve as a role model for technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Execution & Delivery

• Lead the design and implementation of complex, business-unit-wide initiatives, often requiring integration across multiple systems or domains.

• Contribute code directly to projects while working alongside Lead Engineers, ensuring hands-on involvement in delivery and setting a high standard of technical excellence.

• Anticipate long-term technical risks, manage technical debt, and proactively propose improvements.

• Support incident response, helping teams identify root causes and implement systemic fixes that benefit the business unit as a whole.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a minimum of 4+ years in a technical leadership role.

• Significant experience architecting, building, and scaling software systems in complex environments.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical efforts across multiple teams or products.

• Strong ability to evaluate trade-offs and guide teams toward solutions that balance business needs with technical integrity.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence across organizational boundaries.

• Track record of mentoring and developing engineers at multiple levels.

• Deep understanding of software engineering principles, architecture, and operational excellence, independent of any specific technology stack.
