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

Requirements

Technical Mentorship & Design Review

Review architecture and design documents across all pods, providing transparent, 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.
