Staff Software Engineer, Full-stack

Own and drive technical strategy across multiple squads, shaping architectural decisions that have a lasting impact on Onebrief's platform.

Tackle the company's most ambiguous technical challenges, turning loosely defined problems into scalable solutions that teams can execute.

Build the shared systems, patterns, and platform capabilities that enable engineering teams to move faster and deliver more effectively.

Partner with engineering and product leadership to influence the technical roadmap, balancing long-term platform health with rapid customer delivery.

Shape how engineering works by evolving AI-assisted development practices, engineering standards, and technical decision-making across the organization.

Raise the technical bar by mentoring engineers through design reviews, architectural guidance, and cross-team collaboration.

A successful Staff Software Engineer will:

Set technical direction on a problem that spans multiple squads, framing it clearly enough that teams move in the same direction instead of solving it in isolation

Make the architectural calls that others build on, choosing the tradeoffs that save the org months rather than the ones that get paid down for years

Own the shared architecture in the seams no single squad holds, the systems that everyone depends on and no one is scoped to

Raise the technical judgment of the engineers around them, so good decisions get made even when they're not in the room

Refines the standard for how the org uses AI tooling well, keeping quality and ownership intact as the leverage goes up
