Staff Software Engineer

This role is responsible for leading the design and evolution of enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure that underpins a large-scale data platform on AWS. As a Staff Engineer, you will define architectural standards, ensure alignment with security and compliance requirements, and enable multiple teams to build and operate reliable, scalable data systems.

You will work across organizational boundaries to influence platform direction, drive adoption of best practices, and ensure the infrastructure supports high-volume data ingestion, processing, and analytics workloads. The role requires both strategic oversight and hands-on technical leadership in building resilient, cost-efficient, and observable systems in a complex enterprise environment.
