Job description
Greetings!
We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to play a leading role in building and scaling a modern platform that is transforming how financial and insurance workflows are done. This is a highly hands-on role — you’ll write high-quality code, lead by example, and make scalable technical decisions that accelerate product delivery.
As part of the core engineering team, you’ll work across the stack, collaborating closely with Product, Design, and Data teams to translate complex user problems into elegant, maintainable solutions. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where autonomy, accountability, and impact go hand-in-hand.
The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of professional experience in a modern web stack, a proven record of technical leadership on large or complex projects, and the adaptability to move quickly while maintaining high engineering standards.
What You’ll Do
- Own the full lifecycle of complex features: scope, design, implement, and ship code that directly improves user workflows.
- Act as a technical lead for critical initiatives, ensuring timely delivery with high quality.
- Collaborate across teams to break down ambiguous problems into simple, maintainable solutions.
- Deliver AI-driven solutions designed to streamline decision-making and workflows.
- Build and enhance internal APIs and integrations using a modern TypeScript stack (React + Node.js).
- Champion engineering best practices: testing, code review, observability, and CI/CD.
- Mentor and guide junior and mid-level engineers.
- Influence technical culture, architectural patterns, tooling, and continuous improvement processes.
Tech Stack
- TypeScript, React, Node.js
- AI-driven coding tools
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience designing, building, and delivering end-to-end features in modern engineering environments (7+ preferred).
- Proven technical leadership on large or complex projects.
- Experience in talent-dense environments such as later-stage startups or Big Tech. (MUST)
- Strong background delivering production software in a modern web stack.
- Experience working on compliance-heavy or detailed data systems.
- Fluency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
- Comfortable using AI coding tools to enhance productivity.
Soft Skills
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Bias toward incremental value delivery.
- Focus on product and business impact.
- Low ego and a team-first mindset.
Other Details
- Remote-first culture with quarterly co-location travel (4 days each quarter).
- Interest in the FinTech space is a plus.
Traits to Avoid
- Candidates with frequent job hopping (less than 1–2 years per role).
- Candidates with rigid, slow processes from large corporations.
- Candidates who expect excessive hand-holding rather than autonomy.
Skills and Certifications TypeScript, React, Node.js
