Job Summary:

We’re seeking a Staff Engineer to help drive technical excellence and innovation across our platform, with a particular focus on leveraging AI to transform how global talent connects with opportunities. You’ll work on complex technical challenges that span our entire platform, from AI-powered matching algorithms to scalable marketplace infrastructure.

Exceptional Leadership:

You don’t need to be a people manager to be a leader, and you’ll serve as a role model for the rest of the company. Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you.

Low ego, low drama, servant leader: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above yourself and your team alone.
Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
Player-coach: You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this by proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details.
Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.
