About the project

Our client helps small teams power big businesses with the must-have platform for intelligent marketing automation. Customers from over 170 countries depend on the Client’s mix of pre-built automation and integration to power personalized marketing, transactional emails, and one-to-one CRM interactions throughout the customer lifecycle.
We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our client's growing engineering organization and help shape the future of a large-scale SaaS platform undergoing a major AI-first transformation.
This is a highly impactful role focused on technical leadership, architecture, and cross-team collaboration. As a Staff Engineer, you’ll work across multiple engineering teams, helping solve complex technical challenges, drive architectural decisions, and accelerate the adoption of AI-powered solutions and agentic workflows across the platform.
Rather than being tied to a single product area, you’ll operate at a broader organizational level, partnering closely with Engineering, Product, Design, and AI teams to improve scalability, performance, and engineering excellence. You’ll also play a key role in mentoring senior and lead engineers, helping raise the technical bar across the organization.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys tackling complex system-level challenges, influencing technical strategy, and driving impact through architecture, mentorship, and technical leadership rather than people management.
Stack: Python/PHP, AWS, React/Ember, MySQL, Redis, DynamoDB, CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, and AI/LLM-powered services.
If you’re excited about building developer platforms that scale, empower teams, and set new standards for engineering excellence, we’d love to hear from you. Apply via our careers page and please submit your CV in English.
