vantageanalytics - Staff Engineer
Requirements
• 9+ years of professional experience with a strong record in software development, testing, software design, and architecture. • Very deep knowledge of a full production stack: frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data. You can explain how a choice in one layer shows up as a problem in another, and you design accordingly. • Track record of owning a multi-quarter technical roadmap that spanned more than one team, including securing buy-in from engineering peers and senior leadership and driving it to completion. • Experience managing technical debt as an explicit program of work: quantifying it, prioritizing it, making the business and developer-experience case to leadership, and landing it in a roadmap alongside product commitments. • Experience designing and operating B2B API integrations: authentication, rate limiting, retries, idempotency, versioning, and contract evolution. • Track record of mentoring senior engineers, not just junior ones, including through architectural thinking and not only code review. • Experience with CI tooling, Docker, and cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP. • Experience evaluating and rolling out developer tooling, including AI-assisted development tools, with a clear view of where they earn their keep and where they introduce risk to code quality, review discipline, or data handling. • Deep Python and Django experience building production services • A degree in Computer Science or a related field
Responsibilities
• Lead the design and implementation of multiple significant technical initiatives in parallel, staying hands-on in the code and the architecture. • Provide technical direction that balances short-term delivery against long-term sustainability, and make sure architectural decisions across teams remain consistent over time. • Own technical debt management. Surface the debt that matters, build the case for it in business and developer-experience terms, take it to leadership, and work with Product to get it prioritized in quarterly goals. • Use forums such as Architecture Office Hours, Lunch and Learns, internal talks, and the wiki to spread context, enforce industry best practices, and keep teams aligned to the technical roadmap. • Mentor engineers across the department, including senior engineers, in partnership with their managers. Create growth opportunities for others rather than absorbing the interesting work yourself. • Act as a quality gatekeeper through active code review and testing strategy, and deliberately enable other engineers to become effective reviewers and gatekeepers themselves.
