About the role

Role Overview

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer – Fullstack to act as a senior technical leader across our engineering organization.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role, focused on driving architecture, setting technical direction, and solving complex, cross-team challenges. You will partner closely with Engineering, Product, and leadership to ensure our systems scale reliably as the business grows.

This role is not focused on people management — instead, you will operate as a technical authority and multiplier, influencing multiple teams and raising the overall engineering bar.

What You’ll Do

Technical Leadership & Architecture

  • Own and evolve the architecture of critical fullstack systems across frontend and backend.

  • Lead the design of scalable, high-performance, and resilient distributed systems.

  • Set and uphold engineering standards, best practices, and design principles.

  • Drive alignment across teams on architectural decisions and technical direction.

Hands-On Engineering

  • Contribute to high-impact areas of the codebase.

  • Write clean, maintainable, production-grade code.

  • Lead complex refactors and performance optimization efforts.

  • Conduct in-depth code reviews and mentor engineers through technical guidance.

Cross-Team Impact

  • Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to evaluate trade-offs across scalability, performance, cost, and security.

  • Design APIs, data models, and system interactions that support long-term growth.

  • Guide teams on handling edge cases, failure scenarios, and observability.

Technical Strategy & Innovation

  • Identify system bottlenecks and drive scalable solutions.

  • Influence long-term technical strategy and roadmap.

  • Evaluate and introduce new technologies where they add meaningful value.

  • Improve monitoring, instrumentation, and system reliability practices.

  • Proven experience as a Staff, Principal, or Senior Software Engineer in fullstack environments.

  • Strong frontend expertise with:

    • React

    • Next.js

    • TypeScript

  • Strong backend experience with:

    • Golang and/or Python

  • Deep experience designing distributed systems and scalable APIs.

  • Strong fundamentals in:

    • Data structures and algorithms

    • System design and architecture

    • Design patterns and trade-offs

  • Hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-native architectures.

  • Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.

  • Strong debugging, performance optimization, and refactoring skills.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions.

  • Fluent or native English (Spanish is a plus).

Nice to Have

  • Experience in payments, fintech, e-commerce, or transaction-heavy platforms.

  • Experience building high-availability, low-latency systems.

  • Familiarity with regulated environments (PCI-DSS, financial systems, etc.).

Perks & benefits

  • Paid Time Off
  • Equity Compensation
