As a Staff Software Engineer, you will take on the hardest technical problems across Performativ’s platform and turn complexity into systems that scale. You will move to where things break, slow down, or do not scale, and fix them. You will also help evolve how we build by pushing pragmatic use of AI and agent-based tooling in ways that increase speed without losing control.
Take on the hardest technical problems across the platform and drive them to resolution.
Move across teams and systems to improve scalability, performance, and reliability.

Turn unclear situations into concrete solutions that ship.
Introduce better ways of working, including pragmatic use of agent-assisted workflows where they add real leverage.
Challenge technical decisions and push for simpler, more robust solutions.
Raise the bar for engineering quality through your actions, not process.
Help teams move faster by removing friction and unnecessary complexity.
You’ve built systems that run in production at scale and understand what breaks.
You have strong intuition for distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and engineering tradeoffs.
