About the Role

We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer who will split their time between building our core product and delivering it directly to customers. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering product development customer delivery and operational execution.

You will embed with customer teams to understand their workflows and highest-value use cases then build production-ready systems that solve real problems. Just as importantly you will feed what you learn in the field back into the core product shaping platform capabilities reusable patterns and roadmap so that each deployment makes the next one faster. You will move quickly from discovery to prototype to deployment while maintaining the engineering discipline required for secure and regulated environments.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role. As a Staff engineer you will set technical direction make key architecture decisions and raise the bar for how we build while still writing code debugging systems and working through messy customer environments yourself. You should be comfortable translating vague requirements into concrete technical plans and communicating clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
