About the Role

We're looking for a highly experienced Staff Software Engineer to lead the development of innovative and scalable software solutions on our RBP Ops team. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and maintain mission-critical systems. You will also mentor junior engineers and contribute to the company’s overall technology strategy.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the design, architecture, and development of high-performance, scalable software systems
  • Write, test, and maintain high-quality code, ensuring it meets both functional and non-functional requirements.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability of software systems.
  • Uphold coding standards, best practices, and guidelines while conducting code reviews to ensure high-quality software.
  • Analyze and resolve complex technical issues, optimizing code and improving system performance.
  • Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
  • Drive continuous improvements in code quality, development processes, and team efficiency.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, including architecture diagrams and API specifications. Communicate technical decisions and strategies clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Participate in agile development processes, including sprint planning, stand-up meetings, and retrospectives.
  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry trends to drive innovation

Key Outcomes

  • Backend services and APIs that ship on schedule and hold up in production, with defects caught in review or test rather than by customers.
  • Clean, well-tested code that other engineers can pick up and extend without a translation layer, raising the bar for maintainability across the codebase.
  • A continuous delivery pipeline and monitoring setup that stays healthy, supporting trunk-based development so the team deploys with confidence instead of caution.
  • Product ideas translated into working technical solutions, with design and product partners who see you as a reliable thought partner early in the process rather than a downstream implementer.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong background in software design and architecture.
  • Experience with TypeScript and Node.
  • Experience with AWS, postgress, SQL
  • Deep knowledge of Domain Driven Design
  • Experience using AI coding tools (like Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) in your daily workflow, with genuine excitement about where agentic AI is headed for software development.
  • Deep knowledge of software architecture patterns and design (e.g., microservices, distributed systems, hexagonal architecture, domain driven design, etc).
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

We get it. Requirements can sometimes hold people back from applying to a job, but don’t let that be the case here. If you believe you have the skills it takes to elevate this role, team, and company, we encourage you to apply for this role.
