## About the Role

We are looking for a Staff Engineer with deep technical experience and a track record of leading complex engineering initiatives. At Science Exchange, you will help architect and scale a platform that accelerates scientific research. We are seeking an engineer who can operate at a high technical level while also raising the bar for the rest of the team, including our adoption of AI assisted development practices. Our platform is built using a combination of Salesforce and AWS, and this role will play a key part in shaping how both are used going forward., The ideal candidate is a seasoned engineer who thinks in systems, not just tickets. You have led architectural decisions, mentored other engineers, and are comfortable being the person a team turns to when a hard problem needs solving. You have hands-on experience using AI tools in your own engineering workflow, whether that is AI-assisted coding, code review, testing, or documentation, and you are excited to teach those practices to others. You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners, and you take ownership of outcomes, not just output., * 8 or more years of professional experience building and scaling web applications, with demonstrated experience operating at a Staff or senior technical leadership level

 * Detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

## Description

* Lead the full development lifecycle from technical design through development, testing, and deployment, ensuring alignment with long term architectural goals
 * Translate designs and prototypes into robust, scalable code, using both out-of-the-box platform features and custom development where needed
 * Champion the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices across the team, including evaluating tools, establishing best practices, and running internal training sessions
 * Break down complex, ambiguous work into clear, estimable pieces and lead team-level estimation
 * Identify and resolve difficult bugs and performance issues, and provide guidance on debugging, optimization, and security
 * Provide thoughtful, constructive feedback in code reviews to raise the quality bar across the codebase
 * Communicate technical concepts, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly across engineering, product, and business partners
