Staff Engineer - Office of the CTO

What You Bring: Mindset, Experience & Qualifications

We are looking for a "Swiss Army knife" – a passionate, high-impact engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges and building leveraged solutions.

Your Experience & Qualifications

• Experience & Leadership: 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record in a Staff, Principal, or architectural leadership role. You have strong architectural depth and experience shaping the technical direction of complex, cross-team projects.
• Agentic Engineering & AI Workflows: You have hands-on experience researching, architecting, and building agentic workflows, autonomous systems, and AI-driven development loops. You are fluent in leveraging modern agentic platforms and developer tooling to drive full-stack engineering automation.
• Systems Architecture & Design: Deep expertise in designing distributed, composable, and extensible systems. You have a strong understanding of modern development stacks, cloud-native patterns, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Full-Stack Technical Skills: Strong hands-on skills with backend systems (e.g., Java, Node.js, Python, Go) and familiarity with frontend frameworks (e.g., React). You are comfortable and effective across the stack.
• Strategic Communication: Exceptional communication and analytical skills, with the ability to distill complexity and influence technical and non-technical stakeholders. Fluent English (written and spoken) for working with our global R&D sites.
• Academic Foundation: Academic degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

• Prior experience in a CTO Office, advanced R&D, or a platform engineering team focused on developer experience.
• Background in data science or working on data-science-centric projects.
• Technical publications, open-source contributions, or speaking engagements.
• Experience engaging directly with customers or working on products in enterprise SAAS environments.

We're building the engine that will power the future of Yotpo. If you are a passionate builder who wants to be at the forefront of the AI-native transformation, we would love to hear from you.

• You Have a Builder's Mentality & Deep Ownership: You have a deep-seated need to build and fix things. You don't just identify problems; you roll up your sleeves, take full ownership of the outcome, and follow through until you see a measurable impact.
• You are Customer-Obsessed: You are driven to understand the developer's workflow, identify their friction points, and build tools they love. A sloppy process or a broken tool genuinely bothers you because you know it impacts your customer.
• You are a Collaborative, Low-Ego Influencer: You thrive on partnership. You know how to influence decisions and bring people along with you, working across teams to drive change with humility and a focus on the shared goal.
• You are a Self-Starter Who Drives Change: You don't wait to be asked. You proactively identify opportunities, start initiatives, and drive them end-to-end. You see change as an opportunity and push forward despite ambiguity.
