Staff Software Engineer | Platform Team
Machinify, Remote - US
The role
The Platform team builds the foundation every engineer at Machinify works on top of. Our scope is unusually broad: developer tooling and shared standards, observability and resilience engineering, core product server systems, and a growing Rust framework for building correct services fast. We lead AI tool adoption across the entire company. This is a staff-level IC role — you'll have real influence over technical direction without managing people.
We're honest about the challenge. We inherited complex and important Scala systems that need scaling work and data layer rethinking. Some of the work is untangling implementation issues so the real architectural problems become visible. If you're the kind of engineer who finds that satisfying — seeing through symptoms to root causes, making hard systems better — this is your team.
