tem - Senior Staff Engineer - Origination & New Products
Requirements
• Proven technical leadership at Staff or Senior Staff level, with evidence of leading complex, ambiguous initiatives to real business impact - not just technical execution in isolation. • Comfort operating without a spec: able to take a broad, undefined opportunity and shape it into something buildable. • Sound commercial judgement - able to reason about deal risk and revenue impact, not just delivery. • Deep enough platform fluency to integrate against a complex, business-critical system • Track record leading a squad or team technically through direction and mentorship, without necessarily holding formal people-management responsibility. • Strong written and verbal communication - comfortable being the technical voice in front of commercial stakeholders and, over time, external partners. • Comfortable in our core stack: Python, AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge), and event-driven architectures - the same stack Rosso and the rest of Sell Side build on. • Experience in energy, fintech, or another regulated, high-stakes commercial domain. • Experience taking a product or company into a new international market. • Exposure to workflow orchestration, event-driven systems, or real-time pricing engines. • Experience originating new product lines from scratch rather than only scaling existing ones.
Responsibilities
• Own the delivery for new product categories • Lead technically through execution - design, build, and ship alongside the squad, not just direct it. • Translate ambiguous, commercially-driven problems into a shape the squad can deliver against. • Partner with commercial and product stakeholders to keep new-product work tied to real pipeline outcomes. • Mentor the squad's engineers and raise technical standards, without owning their performance or career progression. • You will report into the Engineering Manager, Sell Side. • Lead through execution • Drive the Origination & New Products squad's technical direction on deep integrations with other internal services • Stay hands-on: design, build, and review the hardest parts of the new-product build sequence yourself. • Take a company target ("grow origination volume through new products") and break it into a sequenced, deliverable plan without needing to be told how. • Build for ambiguity and risk • Design systems for categories that don't exist yet at tem - Unlocking TWh’s of new pipeline - where the spec is being written as you go. • Make judgement calls on commercial risk in deal-gating tooling, not just deliver what's asked. • Prevent domain drift as new product categories are added, keeping shared language and clear boundaries. • Partner beyond the squad • Work directly with the Engineering Manager and commercial stakeholders to keep new-product delivery tied to origination pipeline outcomes, not just shipped features. • As Sell Side expands internationally, represent the technical view in conversations with new-market stakeholders and partners. • Mentor engineers in the squad and raise engineering standards, while staying on the individual-contributor track.
