Staff Software Engineer, Python

Accountabilities: • Architect and scale an incrementality product into a reliable, repeatable experimentation platform, owning the technical decisions required for long-term scalability.

• Define the technical direction for near-real-time data ingestion and processing as systems evolve beyond batch-oriented workflows.

• Establish patterns and frameworks for AI-powered workflows that help users evaluate performance and turn insights into actionable decisions.

• Lead the development of connection-state systems and partner ecosystem capabilities across data ingestion and exports.

• Shape technical approaches for adjacent product areas, including role-based access control and other cross-functional capabilities.

• Take complex product initiatives from ambiguous requirements through architecture, implementation, and production.

• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data Science to influence product direction and translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.

• Make architectural decisions that account for reliability, maintainability, performance, and future scale.

• Contribute across backend, frontend, data pipelines, and infrastructure when required by the product.

• Mentor engineers, participate in design and architecture reviews, and raise the quality and technical standards of the engineering organization.

• Help improve engineering practices, team processes, and the overall effectiveness of technical delivery.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience designing and building distributed backend systems, microservices, APIs, and/or data processing systems using Python.

• Deep experience owning system architecture and making complex technical tradeoffs that emerge as systems scale.

• Proven ability to partner with Product Managers, Designers, and Data Scientists to shape product direction as well as technical implementation.

• Experience in a startup or similarly fast-paced environment requiring breadth, sound judgment, autonomy, and strong problem-solving skills.

• Demonstrated ability to transform ambiguous product requirements into robust technical architectures and production-ready solutions across multiple problem spaces.

• Strong ability to navigate complex datasets and interconnected data structures to investigate issues, trace dependencies, and determine effective solutions.

• Working experience with React and TypeScript; deep frontend specialization is not required.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to use AI tools as development accelerators without relying on them in place of core engineering expertise.

• Generalist mindset with willingness to work across backend systems, frontend applications, data pipelines, and infrastructure.

• Strong understanding of data-intensive systems and distributed architectures.

• Experience mentoring engineers, conducting design reviews, and improving team engineering practices.

• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous situations and take ownership of complex technical problems from start to finish.
