Staff Software Engineer

Staff Engineer

Location: Bangalore, India · In-office · Hybrid Experience: 8–12 years

About the Role

We're looking for a Staff Engineer to set technical direction across multiple services and teams. You'll be a force multiplier — driving architecture, raising engineering standards, leading complex cross-team initiatives, and mentoring senior engineers. This is a senior IC role for a deeply technical engineer who shapes how the organization builds software and whose design judgment others adopt.

What You'll Do

Drive architecture and technical direction across multiple services and teams.

Lead complex, cross-cutting initiatives — migrations, modernization, and platform/system evolution.

Own reliability and performance at scale; make high-leverage engineering decisions and tradeoffs.

Raise engineering standards through design docs, standards, and reviews that others adopt.

Mentor senior engineers and influence technical strategy beyond a single team.

Partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders on technical roadmaps.

What We're Looking For

8–12 years of software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership.

Experience driving architecture and technical direction across multiple services or teams.

Cross-team influence: platform/system evolution and raising engineering standards.

Deep distributed systems and cloud-native architecture expertise; strong engineering judgment.

Demonstrated impact on multi-team technical direction, migrations/modernization, and reliability/performance.

A history of mentoring senior engineers and producing standards and design docs that others adopt.

A degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related engineering field is preferred but not required — we weight work outcomes most heavily.

Nice to Have

AI platform architecture experience.

Agentic systems / LLM infrastructure experience.
