Job description
Location Qualifications: Bucharest (hybrid 2xweek in office)
Position Overview:
At Showpad, we’re on a mission to transform the way businesses deliver value to their customers. As a Staff Engineer, you won’t just write code—you’ll set the technical direction, solve the hardest problems, and mentor the next generation of engineers. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, sees patterns where others see chaos, and builds long-term solutions that keep our systems healthy, scalable, and resilient. Senior Engineers are masters of their craft. Staff Engineers go a step further:
You’ll tackle open-ended challenges where the right path isn’t obvious—even to senior experts.
You’ll drive technical strategy, guiding architectural decisions across multiple teams and influencing the company’s long-term direction.
You’ll mentor and sponsor senior and junior engineers, multiplying your impact through others.
You’ll be the one who makes complexity vanish, reducing technical debt and chaos with elegant, pragmatic solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead with vision: Shape technical roadmaps, explore new problem spaces, and set direction for initiatives that span across teams.
- Be a force multiplier: Mentor engineers at all levels, sponsor opportunities for growth, and foster a culture of technical excellence.
- Reduce chaos: Design solutions that simplify, scale, and improve long-term maintainability.
- Drive impact: Identify what matters most for Showpad’s future—whether it’s reducing infrastructure costs, building resilient systems, or unlocking new product capabilities.
- Collaborate broadly: Partner with leaders across engineering, product, and the wider AMPED organization to align strategy and execution.
- Champion quality: Advocate for resilience, performance, and security, ensuring we always raise the technical bar.
Are you our next Staff Engineer?
Must haves
- 8+ years of experience solving complex technical challenges (we know expertise doesn’t always fit neatly in a timeline—what matters is impact).
- Proven track record in technical leadership, architecture, and strategy.
- Deep proficiency in your technical domain (e.g. cloud, data, distributed systems, or application architecture).
- Proven track record for mentorship, clear communication, and long-term thinking.
- Ability to see both the big picture and the fine detail, knowing when to zoom out to strategy and when to dive deep into technical issues.
- Pragmatism: you make deliberate decisions, balancing speed and sustainability.
