Staff Software Engineer

Role Overview

As a Staff Software Engineer on Experimentation Tooling, you will be a senior technical leader responsible for designing and evolving core experimentation infrastructure used by product, editorial, and analytics teams across the organization.

What You Will Do

Lead technical design and architecture of core experimentation services and platforms, build and evolve a centralized, vendor-agnostic experimentation platform, enable edge and server-side testing capabilities, champion data integrity and measurement excellence, reduce friction and increase velocity by automating experimentation workflows.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You will partner closely with product managers, data teams, platform teams, and other senior engineers to scale experimentation safely and effectively. You will have significant influence over architecture, technical direction, and engineering standards.

Requirements

• Deep experience designing and building distributed systems or platform services used by multiple teams.
• Strong background in backend engineering (e.g., APIs, data pipelines, services), with comfort working across client, server, and edge environments, especially Node.JS, as well as frontend engineering, including TypeScript, JavaScript, and frameworks such as Vue or React.
• Proven ability to design performant, low-latency systems that operate at scale.
• Experience working with experimentation, feature flagging, analytics, or data platforms (vendor or in-house).
• Solid understanding of data quality, observability, and measurement in production systems.
• Ability to set technical direction for complex problem spaces and guide architecture decisions beyond your immediate team.
• Comfort navigating ambiguous, cross-cutting challenges that span teams, vendors, and platforms.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially when explaining technical tradeoffs to non-engineering partners.
• A track record of influencing without authority and driving alignment across senior stakeholders.
• Familiarity with edge compute, CDN-based architectures, or server-side experimentation.
• Experience integrating and optimizing deployment pipelines (CI/CD)
