We're looking for a Staff Engineer / Tech Lead to join our Engineering team. In this role, you'll combine hands-on technical delivery with impact that extends beyond a single team: raising engineering standards, helping teams work through ambiguous problems, and supporting the growth of the engineers around you.
You'll work as part of a team on modernization efforts and new feature initiatives, including AI-related capabilities, and your focus and team assignment may evolve based on where the organization needs expertise most.
Impact in this role spans four areas: hands-on project delivery, engineering excellence across the wider backend, providing direction when problems are ambiguous, and contributing to the growth of the people around you.
This role tends to be the most rewarding for engineers who enjoy being a multiplier for the people around them: unblocking teams, shaping direction together, and growing others along the way, rather than working in isolation or waiting to be told exactly what to do next.
Referral bonus: Know someone who’d thrive in this role? Send them our way. If they get hired, you get $2,000.
Work hands-on within your team, contributing to the design, development, and delivery of features and technical solutions
Lead technical modernization efforts within your team while enabling delivery of new functionality, including AI-related features
Raise engineering standards and practices across the backend, and help solve problems shared across multiple teams
Help teams turn ambiguous, poorly defined problems into a clear plan of action when experience or confidence is lacking
Contribute to the growth of engineers around you through mentoring, input into personal development plans, and recommendations on skills, resources, or courses
Balance hands-on delivery with acting as an enabler for other engineers and processes, rather than simply directing others' work
Expert-level backend engineering skills in C# / .NET
Solid experience with automated testing, DevOps practices, and working with databases
A strong product mindset - understanding of the business and product context behind technical decisions
Proven ability to work autonomously and collaborate as a peer with senior engineers, without needing tasks broken down for you
Comfort with responsibilities beyond pure technical delivery, such as mentoring, cross-team collaboration, or representing the team on broader initiatives
Strong communication skills and an Upper-intermediate (B2) or higher level of English
Hands-on experience building or integrating AI-related features
Experience with system design and architecture-level decision-making
We highly value our people, so we will empower you with all the resources and support to help you reach your full potential.
