You're part strategist, part builder, part mentor, and you’re just as comfortable writing production code as you are setting architectural direction.
As a Staff Developer, you can expect to be brought into initiatives at the strategy and discovery phases to ideate on what’s possible. You’ll experiment and drive new changes to existing system architectures. You’ll be a coach and mentor to our engineering team.

- You’ll drive AI tool adoption across Engineering.

- Through code reviews and mentoring, you'll set a high-quality bar. You’ll also actively look for ways to improve the overall quality of our codebase.
- You'll work across teams to promote an open, collaborative approach to architecture, technical patterns, and complex problem-solving.
What You'll Bring
- You’ve got 8+ years of SaaS application development experience under your belt, with a track record of leading technical initiatives to successful outcomes.
- You’ve previously held a Staff Developer or higher title, and you’re ready to hit the ground running at that level.
- You’ve embraced AI coding tools like Claude, using them daily.
- You’re hands-on and can go deep on backend technologies (PHP or similar).
- You’ve architected complex systems, balancing performance, scale, and developer experience.
- You're fluent in performance best practices, and you know how to monitor and optimize for the user experience.
- You have closely collaborated with other Staff on foundational engineering decisions and product development.
