About the role

  • Own complex product areas end-to-end—from discovery and design to implementation, rollout, and iteration—operating across Node/TypeScript backends and React frontends.
  • Lead architecture and system design for real-time, high-volume workflows (e.g., call routing on an event-driven SIP softswitch, UI over WebSockets, streaming audio for speech recognition).
  • Author clear technical design docs, set standards for code quality, testing, performance, and observability, and ensure designs scale simply as we grow.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with PM, Design, and other engineers to translate ambiguous requirements into intuitive, performant experiences; make crisp trade-offs and document decisions.
  • Mentor and uplevel engineers through design reviews, pairing, and feedback; model engineering excellence and foster a culture of craftsmanship and clarity.
  • Improve developer experience (DevEx) and reliability by influencing APIs, data contracts, testing strategies, and progressive delivery practices across teams.
  • Participate in on-call and help uphold operational excellence for the areas you own.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including demonstrated Staff-level scope (cross-team technical leadership, strategy, and delivery).
  • Proven track record owning products/features through the full lifecycle—from discovery to deployment and iteration.
  • Expertise with TypeScript/Node.js and modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React), plus strong SQL fundamentals with an RDBMS such as PostgreSQL.
  • Depth in distributed systems or real-time application patterns (e.g., WebSockets/streaming/PubSub), and performance optimization across the stack.
  • Strong product mindset and communication: you simplify complexity, align stakeholders, and connect technical decisions to user and business impact.
Benefits
  • Flexibility to work anywhere in the U.S.
  • Flexible Vacation Policy.
  • Orum Days Off (first Friday each month, two weeks off at year end, and additional observed holidays).
  • 90% coverage for employees and dependents for medical, dental, and vision.
  • Online behavioral health and virtual healthcare options.
  • Parental leave with quota relief.
  • Life Insurance and AD&D coverage.
  • 401(k) savings plan.
  • Meaningful stock options.
  • $1,000 equipment reimbursement (yours to keep).
  • Company retreats and meetups to connect in person.
  • Company ERG — Women of Orum (WOO).
