Staff Engineer for ELS (worldwide remote, work anywhere)

Requirements Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python is a must. Knowledge of any other programming languages is a plus. Hands-on Engineering Leadership: Requires a senior-level engineer proficient in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable software systems. Regular code contributions and leading by example in both architecture and implementation are expected Technical Product Ownership: Involves shaping product direction — gathering and refining requirements, translating them into technical goals, and aligning them with broader engineering strategies. Experience in technical product management or direct ownership of product roadmaps is highly valued Full Lifecycle Responsibility: Encompasses ownership of the entire lifecycle of major components, from initial concept through prototyping, delivery, and ongoing evolution. A balance between short-term iteration and long-term scalability and extensibility is essential Cross-Functional Collaboration: Demands active communication with engineering teams, product managers, and stakeholders across departments. Requires the ability to align different viewpoints, prioritize effectively, and turn feedback into actionable plans Strategic Thinking + Execution: While the primary focus remains on building, it’s important to step back, understand broader product and organizational goals, and make informed engineering trade-offs within that context
