- Position: Staff Engineer (P5)
- Working model: Remore
- Employment form: B2B
We are partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed SaaS company that is revolutionizing the Sales Performance Management space. As we scale from mid-market to enterprise, we are looking for a Staff Engineer (P5) to join the Platform Pillar. This is a high-impact role for a true “Platform Builder” who thrives on architecture and solving complex scalability challenges.
The Role & Opportunity
You will be a key architect of the core platform. We are not looking for a product-focused developer, but a systems thinker who will build the foundation upon which all our products sit.
The current platform handles 100M rows, and they are gearing up for a 10x scale to 10B rows. Re-architecturing has just begun and you will be a primary driver of this transformation. This role requires high autonomy—you will be expected to identify problems, design technical solutions, and execute without “hand-holding.”
Key Responsibilities
- Platform Evolution: Build and scale the core platform infrastructure to support high-volume data (10B+ rows).
- Architecture & Principles: Set the technical standards and architectural direction for the platform pillar. Focus on high-level design and robust principles.
- Microservices Shift: Lead the transition from a single-product architecture into a robust microservices and multi-product ecosystem.
- Autonomy: Take full ownership of complex technical problems, from discovery to implementation.
- Mentorship & Impact: Influence engineering standards across the entire organization, ensuring high performance and security.
Requirements
- Deep Backend Expertise: Expert-level Python and Django knowledge. (FE matters very little in this role).
- Platform Builder Mindset: Proven track record of building platforms, internal tools, or infrastructure.
- Scale Experience: Experience working with massive data sets (dealing with 1B+ rows) and performance optimization.
- Architecture Heavy: Ability to design distributed systems and microservices at scale.
- Ownership: A history of being autonomous and delivering solutions to complex problems without supervision.
Nice to have
- Experience from a single-product company that successfully shifted into microservices and a multi-product environment.
- Experience with AWS architecture and infrastructure-as-code.
The Offer
- Base Compensation: Up to 150,000 USD annually (B2B)
- Equities: Significant stock option package.
- Unlimited PTO: We value results over hours.
- Hardware: Latest Apple hardware (MacBook Pro).
- Well-being: Quarterly mental health days and work anniversary stipends.
- Remote-first: Fully remote culture with a multicultural team.
