Staff Engineer
Capital on Tap, London
The role
Staff Engineers take on technical problems that no single engineering group can solve on its own. Your remit is a product pillar, a platform or a global ecosystem. You'll work across the groups in it, design the solution, contribute to the hardest parts yourself and get several teams moving together.
What you will do
What you'll be doing
- Lead cross-group projects from first design to production, including when they go wrong.
- Plan ahead, so your systems can handle around ten times today's load without a rewrite.
- Stay hands-on. Write production code, review designs and build the hard parts yourself.
- Own the shared technical roadmap for your area.
- When a decision spans several groups, bring them together, weigh the options and own the outcome.
