About the Role

As a Staff Engineer at Clutch, you will extend ownership beyond your projects to raise the technical bar, shape architecture, and build the culture and practices that enable engineers to move fast. You will partner with stakeholders to understand problems, shape solutions, design for scale, and mentor other engineers. This role is for individuals who thrive on owning the problem, solution, and outcome at a company level, with the autonomy to identify and drive necessary changes in architecture, process, or team practices.

Responsibilities

Own architecture and technical direction across teams, ensuring systems are scalable, reliable, and built for long-term maintainability.
Partner with Operations and other cross-functional teams to align technical solutions with business needs and operational realities.
Mentor engineers at all levels, raising the technical bar through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on guidance.
Help build and promote a strong engineering culture, one that values ownership, curiosity, and high standards, both by example and by shaping team practices.
Design and evolve core systems, APIs, and database architecture with an eye toward what Clutch will need 1-2 years out, not just today.
Identify gaps in engineering practices, tooling, or process, and drive the changes needed to close them.
Use AI as part of your everyday engineering workflow, and help the broader team adopt AI-powered practices that improve velocity and quality.
Lead by influence, working across product, design, and engineering to shape roadmaps, priorities, and technical tradeoffs.
Make high-leverage technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and long-term scalability, and clearly communicate the reasoning behind them.
Continuously improve the systems, tools, and developer experience that power Clutch, at a team and organizational level.

Requirements

7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership.
Designed and scaled complex systems in a production environment.
Experience building frontend, backend, or full-stack applications, with deep expertise in at least one.
Experience with one or more modern programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, Rust, or Ruby.
Experience designing scalable architecture, optimizing performance across systems, and solving ambiguous, high-stakes technical problems.
Experience with relational databases, API design, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your own individual work.
Worked cross-functionally with Operations, Product, or other business functions to align technical decisions with real-world constraints.
Use AI as a force multiplier, both for your own work and to help teams adopt better engineering practices.
Communicate clearly, build trust across teams, and are comfortable making decisions in ambiguous environments.
Care as much about the people and culture around you as you do about technical excellence.
Naturally curious and excited to continuously learn, improve, and raise the bar for yourself and those around you.
