Job Level
About the role
- As a Staff Engineer, you will be a technical leader and hands-on builder across the full stack.
- Partner closely with product and design to shape the architecture and accelerate a focused team toward meaningful milestones.
- Build backend services that power collaborative editing, conflict resolution, and content delivery.
- Build frontend systems that enable visual, real-time editing experiences.
- Define engineering standards, evaluate third-party services, and drive technical decisions.
Requirements
- 10+ years of overall software engineering experience, with a strong track record of ownership across the full product lifecycle.
- Genuine full-stack capability — you have shipped production systems on both the backend (APIs, data services, cloud infrastructure) and frontend (interactive UIs, component systems, browser performance).
- Experience with real-time or collaborative systems — whether content editing, multiplayer applications, event-driven architectures, or live data synchronization.
- Cloud-native fluency: you are comfortable designing and operating services in GCP, AWS, Cloudflare, or Azure, with experience in containerization and modern deployment pipelines.
- API design expertise: you have strong opinions about REST, GraphQL, and event-driven interfaces — and know when to apply each.
- Frontend architecture chops: you understand component modeling, state management, rendering performance, and the browser platform at a level that goes well beyond framework familiarity.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
Benefits
- Industry competitive compensation and equity plan
- Flexible time off, sick days, and 13 paid holidays
- Comprehensive medical insurance including Health, Dental and Vision
- Paid parental leave (plus fertility, adoption and other family planning benefits)
- In-office workspace (San Francisco & Chicago)
- Monthly allowance for wellness, reading and access to LinkedIn Learning for continued development
- Events and activities both team-based and company wide that inspire, educate and cultivate
