About the Role
Solactive is seeking a Staff Engineer to lead the technical direction and architectural evolution of its Index Setup platform, focusing on building scalable, maintainable, and secure solutions. This role requires driving complex initiatives and shaping engineering excellence.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction and architectural evolution of the domain, delivering scalable, maintainable, and secure solutions for index management and future platform capabilities.
- Lead complex initiatives end-to-end: clarify ambiguous requirements, shape solution approaches, and drive implementation across backend, frontend, data, and infrastructure.
- Raise engineering standards through hands-on leadership, including code and design reviews, coaching, and a strong focus on simplicity, quality, and maintainability.
- Partner with product, business stakeholders, and engineering teams to identify core problems, challenge assumptions, and deliver solutions aligned with the platform vision.
- Drive system design across distributed services, APIs, integrations, data models, and cloud infrastructure, ensuring scalability, reliability, and operational readiness.
- Improve engineering effectiveness by refining processes, reducing friction, strengthening ownership, and enabling better trade-offs between speed, quality, and risk.
- Mentor engineers and support their growth in technical depth, ownership, and end-to-end delivery.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on software engineering background (7+ years) with deep expertise in Java and Spring-based backend development in distributed systems.
- Experience with React / TypeScript frontend development in product teams owning full-stack delivery.
- Strong system design skills, including service decomposition, API design, integration patterns, data modeling, scalability, reliability, and operational concerns in cloud-native environments.
- Ability to lead ambiguous, business-heavy problem spaces: identify real requirements and root problems, structure chaos, and translate needs into pragmatic technical solutions.
- Proven track record of simplifying complex systems and delivering maintainable end-to-end solutions with high business impact.
- Strong experience with modern engineering practices: code reviews, design reviews, CI/CD, testing strategy, observability, incident response, and production ownership.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders without formal authority.
- Product mindset and delivery orientation: balances technical quality with business value and drives initiatives to completion.
