This is an individual contributor role. No direct reports, real technical authority: you set direction on architecture and engineering practice, and you build in the same codebase as everyone else in the team. Staff/Senior here means deeper, not further from the code. Your job is to keep our systems fast to iterate, reliable in production, and ready for international expansion and scaling.
- Own the architecture of our full-stack platform – frontend, backend, data, AWS – and evolve it under real product pressure instead of rewriting it
- Own our testing strategy: where we invest in unit, integration and end-to-end coverage, what we deliberately do not test, and how tests stay fast enough that nobody skips them
- Push our agentic coding practice forward: tooling, guardrails and testing discipline that make us faster without putting unverified code into a live product
- Shape scope together with product: surface the cheap 80 % solution, and say clearly when something is not worth building
- Build so that what ships is operable and auditable by design (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 13485), without turning engineering into paperwork
- Go wherever the problem is – a scaling bottleneck one week, a broken integration the next – you fix it properly
