Staff Software Engineer

This is Engineering at Lattice

Lattice’s Engineering team is continuously working to better both our product and our craft. We use a modern, cutting-edge tech stack aimed at developer productivity and delight. We strive for maintainable, robust, and performant code. We’re highly collaborative and continuously iterative and work closely with designers and product managers. We prioritize not only great technical architecture but also an amazing product experience.

The Platform Frameworks team is part of the broader Platform organization and provides  tools and frameworks that accelerate feature delivery for developers working on the Lattice product suite. The team’s mission is to “pave roads” in order to provide well-worn pathways to success for product engineers. We aim to reduce complexity and cognitive load while at the same time improving the reliability of our products and applications. 

What You Will Do

• You’ll work with other engineers to build and own products across a modern tech stack. Your focus will be in our backend stack, including NodeJS with TypeScript, NestJS, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL. We rely on AWS to host our infrastructure, and we manage it with Terraform.
• You’ll influence and lead the  design and implementation of large-scale projects used by all engineers across the company.
• You’ll drive impact - through communication, mentorship, planning, execution, implementation, and outcomes.
• You’ll actively  contribute to  and guide our engineering practices, identifying and evangelizing opportunities to improve our team’s outputs.
• You'll Identify & address performance bottlenecks, implementing strategies to increase reliability and redundancy, and championing good software engineering practices for the teams.
• You’ll independently lead the execution of complex projects requiring cross-functional collaboration with product managers and designers.
• You’ll provide substantial mentorship to less experienced colleagues, helping to refine their technical craft and expand their knowledge.

What You Will Bring to the Table

You have 7+ years of professional experience writing and maintaining production-level applications, and at least 3 years as a tech lead or similar role.

• You’ve worked with a modern programming language like JavaScript, Ruby, Python, etc.
• You champion clean architecture development practices that focus on scalability, performance, code readability and security.
• You’ve got good database and data modeling experience. You know how to efficiently model moderately complicated data, write and optimize performant queries in a relational database like PostgreSQL, and are comfortable mentoring junior engineers on best practices around this.
• You know the ins-and-outs of maintaining and scaling an application actively serving customers in production.
• You seek out the root cause when debugging software defects and champion improvements that prevent future issues.

You’re a great communicator and collaborator.

• You're a team player who chooses collaborative work over creating in silos.
• You write code that your colleagues will also own, understand, and maintain.
• You’re clear and concise in explaining your thought process and in enumerating the tradeoffs made in your work.

You enjoy taking an active role in the development process.

• You love mentoring and supporting other software engineers who are newer to the industry.
• You have experience taking the lead in planning and executing the development roadmap for software projects.
• You make the engineering team more effective through the pragmatic application of useful code tools and patterns
