Staff Engineer (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential financial services organization seeking a Staff Engineer to own the technical direction and architectural evolution of their platform. In this role, you will:

• Lead the technical architecture and deliver scalable, maintainable, and secure solutions for complex platform capabilities
• Drive complex initiatives end-to-end, clarifying ambiguous requirements and shaping solution approaches across backend, frontend, data, and infrastructure
• Raise engineering standards through hands-on leadership, including code and design reviews, coaching, and maintaining focus on simplicity and quality
• Partner with product, business stakeholders, and engineering teams to identify core problems, challenge assumptions, and deliver solutions aligned with platform vision
• Design distributed systems, APIs, integrations, data models, and cloud infrastructure with a focus on scalability, reliability, and operational readiness
• Improve engineering effectiveness by refining processes, reducing friction, and enabling better trade-offs between speed, quality, and risk
• Mentor engineers and support their growth in technical depth, ownership, and end-to-end delivery

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with deep expertise in Java and Spring-based backend development in distributed systems
• Experience with React / TypeScript frontend development in product teams with full-stack delivery responsibility
• Strong system design skills including service decomposition, API design, integration patterns, data modeling, scalability, and reliability in cloud-native environments
• Proven ability to lead ambiguous, business-heavy problem spaces: identify real requirements, structure complexity, and translate needs into pragmatic technical solutions
• Track record of simplifying complex systems and delivering maintainable end-to-end solutions with high business impact
• Strong experience with modern engineering practices: code reviews, design reviews, CI/CD, testing strategy, observability, incident response, and production ownership
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with ability to influence engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders without formal authority
• Product mindset and delivery orientation, balancing technical quality with business value
