• Staff Engineers partner with Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers to solve complex, high-impact problems and deliver scalable solutions. • As a staff engineer, you shape technical direction, design systems for scale and reliability, and guide teams through sound architectural decisions. • As a Staff Engineer in the Embedded Services pillar, you will serve as the architectural lead for the Payments, Payroll and Risk solutions that drive our organization's revenue, shaping the technical strategy and long-term roadmap for some of our most critical features. • You will be a hands-on partner to our engineering teams as we tackle high-stakes scalability challenges, with a particular focus on scaling systems for peak performance and cost-efficiency. • A major part of your impact will involve guiding teams through the evolution of our ecosystem, leading the strategic migration of legacy monolithic code into modern, high-performance distributed systems. • You work across a range of technologies, helping evolve our stack and evaluate new approaches. • This is an individual contributor role with no direct people management responsibilities, relying on influence, technical leadership, and cross-team alignment to drive impact.

• Architect and drive the implementation of automated "on-ramps" for observability clients • Establish and enforce the semantic conventions needed for telemetry data • Develop and support high-performance interfaces and SDKs for clients • Build the logic to stitch together disparate signals into a unified trace • Work alongside engineering teams to turn architectural blueprints into production reality • Serve as the "go-to" expert for observability
