The Role

As a staff engineer, you’ll be a technical expert working on and solving various engineering challenges. This role requires both architecture and coding expertise, and will act as a technical mentor for other team members. 

Our engineering team tackles a range of projects, including money, transactions, fraud, and risk. We’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of engineering with a passion for both quality (craft, reliability, etc.) and velocity (business impact, rapid iteration, scrappiness/pragmatism, etc.). The ideal candidate will also be able to operate both at a high level (strategy) and get into the details (hands-on coding, coding reviews, etc.) while leveling up the broader engineering organization.
