We are seeking a Staff Full Stack Software Engineer to lead the design and delivery of internal platforms used by enterprise infrastructure teams. This is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, works independently, and owns systems end-to-end—from architecture through production operations. You will operate as a technical leader within the team, influencing design decisions, setting engineering standards, and delivering high-impact solutions across backend services, data pipelines, and user-facing applications.

What You’ll Do • Architect, build, and own full-stack software platforms supporting enterprise infrastructure and operations teams. • Lead the technical design of systems that ingest, process, analyze, and expose infrastructure and operational data at scale. • Develop backend services and APIs for data collection, enrichment, and querying. • Build and maintain web interfaces with advanced search, filtering, and usability tailored for technical users.

• Design and implement ETL and data processing pipelines for structured and semi-structured data sources. • Ensure applications are fully containerized and production-ready using Docker and Kubernetes-based deployment models. • Act as a technical authority on system design, performance, reliability, and maintainability. • Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, security, and product stakeholders to shape solutions aligned with long-term platform strategy.
