Job Description
Onshore is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to define and drive technical strategy, own end-to-end technical solutions, and lead infrastructure investments. This role is a technical leadership position with no direct reports by default, focusing on influence through architecture, code, and technical direction. The Staff Engineer will make principled build-versus-buy decisions, produce technical roadmaps, advise leadership on technical trade-offs, and multiply the team's effectiveness through their contributions.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated impact at staff or equivalent scope: leading initiatives across multiple teams or systems.
- A proven track record designing and shipping systems that are both highly available and correct, in domains where wrong output has consequences.
- Deep architectural judgment paired with genuinely fast hands. You prototype to think, and your strategy shows up as code.
- The ability to influence technical direction and align teams without direct authority, with excellent written and verbal communication across engineering and leadership.
- High ownership: comfortable with ambiguity, able to define the problem and the plan rather than execute a predefined spec.
- Able to work in person at our New York City office.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience making LLM-powered systems production-reliable: agents, evaluation infrastructure, structured extraction at scale. You know the distance between a demo and a system users rely on.
- Experience owning platforms other teams built on, and the judgment about primitives versus one-offs that comes with it.
- Compliance-aware system design: audit trails, data lineage, financial controls, or regulated-domain experience.
- Experience with correctness-critical computation: ledgers, billing, rules engines, or anything compiler-shaped.
- A track record of raising senior engineers through technical direction and of contributing meaningfully to hiring and engineering culture.
