About the company
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Full Stack Software Engineer based in the United States.
Responsibilities
- Own full-stack product and operational initiatives from problem framing and planning through implementation, launch, and production validation.
- Translate ambiguous business and customer needs into practical technical plans, milestones, and shippable increments.
- Design, build, and maintain reliable applications across Python/Django backend services and React/TypeScript frontend experiences.
- Make thoughtful architectural decisions spanning data models, APIs, integrations, testing, security, failure handling, and production operations.
- Use AI tools throughout the software development lifecycle to increase speed, quality, and engineering scope while maintaining accountability for the resulting work.
- Rigorously validate AI-assisted output and apply engineering judgment when automated approaches are insufficient.
- Partner directly with Product, Design, Operations, and other stakeholders to understand underlying problems and define measurable outcomes.
- Communicate project progress, technical decisions, risks, dependencies, and blockers clearly and proactively.
- Diagnose production incidents using logs, metrics, traces, profiling, and other operational evidence; restore service responsibly and implement improvements that prevent recurrence.
- Improve engineering systems, tooling, automation, and development practices to help the broader team work more effectively.
- Contribute to scalable solutions involving integrations, asynchronous processing, third-party services, workflows, and other complex production systems.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with demonstrated ownership of meaningful production outcomes.
- Strong backend development expertise with Python and Django.
- Proven experience building user-facing applications with React and TypeScript.
- Experience designing and integrating APIs, relational data models, and third-party services.
- Strong understanding of automated testing, security, data integrity, failure handling, maintainable software design, and production reliability.
- Experience diagnosing production behavior through logs, metrics, traces, profiling, and other operational signals.
- Meaningful professional experience incorporating AI tools into engineering workflows, with the ability to assess and validate AI-generated work critically.
- Ability to explain technical decisions, tradeoffs, risks, and measurable results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in a remote and cross-functional environment.
- Experience working in lean product organizations with significant engineering autonomy is highly valuable.
- Experience with marketplaces, matching, routing, lead management, workflow automation, or other multi-sided products is a plus.
- Familiarity with integration-heavy systems involving CRMs, communications platforms, webhooks, asynchronous jobs, or third-party APIs is preferred.
- Experience with PostgreSQL and background-processing technologies such as Celery is advantageous.
- Experience delivering complete features across backend and frontend systems, as well as handling incidents, migrations, concurrency, and data-quality challenges, is a strong plus.
- Experience transforming successful AI workflows into reusable automation, tooling, or team practices is desirable.
