Staff Software Engineer – Product Platform Team
Job Description:
• Own complex product areas end-to-end—from discovery and design to implementation, rollout, and iteration—operating across Node/TypeScript backends and React frontends.
• Lead architecture and system design for real-time, high-volume workflows (e.g., call routing on an event-driven SIP softswitch, UI over WebSockets, streaming audio for speech recognition).
• Author clear technical design docs, set standards for code quality, testing, performance, and observability, and ensure designs scale simply as we grow.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with PM, Design, and other engineers to translate ambiguous requirements into intuitive, performant experiences; make crisp trade-offs and document decisions.
• Mentor and uplevel engineers through design reviews, pairing, and feedback; model engineering excellence and foster a culture of craftsmanship and clarity.
• Improve developer experience (DevEx) and reliability by influencing APIs, data contracts, testing strategies, and progressive delivery practices across teams.
• Participate in on-call and help uphold operational excellence for the areas you own.
Requirements:
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including demonstrated Staff-level scope (cross-team technical leadership, strategy, and delivery).
• Proven track record owning products/features through the full lifecycle—from discovery to deployment and iteration.
• Expertise with TypeScript/Node.js and modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React), plus strong SQL fundamentals with an RDBMS such as PostgreSQL.
• Depth in distributed systems or real-time application patterns (e.g., WebSockets/streaming/PubSub), and performance optimization across the stack.
• Strong product mindset and communication: you simplify complexity, align stakeholders, and connect technical decisions to user and business impact.
Benefits:
• Flexibility to work anywhere in the U.S.
• Flexible Vacation Policy.
• Orum Days Off (first Friday each month, two weeks off at year end, and additional observed holidays).
• 90% coverage for employees and dependents for medical, dental, and vision.
• Online behavioral health and virtual healthcare options.
• Parental leave with quota relief.
• Life Insurance and AD&D coverage.
• 401(k) savings plan.
• Meaningful stock options.
• $1,000 equipment reimbursement (yours to keep).
• Company retreats and meetups to connect in person.
• Company ERG — Women of Orum (WOO).
