We are looking for a Staff Engineer to serve as the technical backbone across our multi-product, multi-pod engineering organisation. This is not a people-management role — it is a high-leverage individual contributor and craft leadership role. You will be the engineering conscience of the organisation: raising the bar on design, code quality, and technical thinking across every pod without owning any single one. Each pod operates autonomously with 2–7 backend engineers and 1-3 senior engineers (3–5 years of experience). Your job is to make those senior engineers — and the teams around them — meaningfully better: sharpening their design instincts, challenging their assumptions, and helping them make smarter trade-offs.
The Kind of Engineer Who Will Fit the Role
You care more about making the team better than being the smartest person in the room. You write
feedback that is honest but never unkind. You can hold a nuanced conversation about product
trade-offs, not just technical ones. You are energised by context-switching across domains rather
than drained by it.



You believe that the highest form of engineering craft is not the code you write,
but the judgment you help others develop
Technical Mentorship & Design Review
• Review architecture and design documents across all pods, providing explicit, actionable feedback that teaches as much as it
corrects.
• Conduct deep-dive PR reviews on high-stakes changes, focusing on correctness, maintainability, and future extensibility —
not just style.
• Work 1:1 with pod senior engineers to develop their technical intuition: system design, trade-off analysis, and engineering
judgment.
• Run internal design review sessions, RFC processes, and post-mortems that build a culture of learning.

Cross-Product Technical Coherence
• Maintain a working understanding of all products and their underlying systems — enough to spot duplication, surface re-
use opportunities, and flag systemic risks.
• Identify and advocate for shared infrastruct
