Staff Software Engineer, Applications

At FloQast, we aren't just building tools; we are crafting the "Operating System for Accounting."
As a Staff Software Engineer, you are a primary architect of this vision. This is a role for a
technical visionary who thrives on solving "impossible" distributed systems problems and
understands that the best code is the kind that empowers an entire engineering organization to
move faster.

You won't just be "coding"—you’ll be defining the technical North Star for our application
ecosystem and driving step-function improvements in how we deliver value to thousands of
global brands like Zoom, DoorDash, and the MLB.

*This is expected to be hybrid in our San Jose or Los Angeles office.

• Architecting the Future: You will design and deliver the core platform capabilities that
  power the next generation of FloQast applications. You’ll own the "big picture," ensuring
  our distributed systems are scalable, resilient, and elegant.
• Technical Strategy & Excellence: You’ll lead the high-level design discussions that
  resolve complex trade-offs. By establishing rigorous engineering best practices, you raise
  the floor and the ceiling for our technical standards.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: You’ll act as the bridge between "what’s possible" and
  "what’s needed," partnering deeply with Product and Design to translate ambiguous
  business goals into executable technical roadmaps. 
• Multiplier of Talent: Your success is measured by the growth of those around you. You
  will mentor senior engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical curiosity and high-
  performance execution.

• The Veteran’s Perspective: 10 years of experience shipping complex, enterprise-grade
  software. You’ve seen systems succeed and fail, and you know how to navigate the
  lifecycle of a maturing platform.
• Technical Mastery: You are an expert in modern backend stacks—specifically Go,
  Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS. You think in terms of APIs, platform-first design, and
  secure, compliant SaaS architectures.
• Outcome-Driven Mindset: You possess a strong product intuition. You don’t build for
  the sake of complexity; you build to drive business impact and solve real customer pain
  points.
• Navigational Skill: You are comfortable in the "grey areas." You can take a napkin-
  sketch idea and turn it into a production-ready reality through influence and technical
  clarity.
