About the Role
Vantage is hiring a Staff Engineer. You will set technical strategy across teams and deliver it through direct implementation, broad technical leadership, or both. You will drive the technical roadmap multiple teams build against, be accountable for its success, and influence peers and senior leadership. You will clear cross-team dependencies, build frameworks for team alignment, and stay hands-on leading multiple initiatives. Your depth spans the whole stack, frontend through data, defining SLAs and observability standards. You will own technical debt management and provide technical direction balancing short-term needs with long-term vision. You will raise the bar of the engineering team through mentorship, design review, and pairing.
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.
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. Ability to explain how a choice in one layer shows up as a problem in another, and 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.
