[Hiring] Senior Staff Software Engineer @nue.io

3d ago - nue.io is hiring a remote Senior Staff Software Engineer. πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: Canada

Role Description

The Senior Staff Software Engineer is one of Nue's senior-most individual contributors, responsible for shaping the technical direction of the platform across multiple product teams. This role sets the multi-year technical strategy in their domain, drives the architecture decisions that other teams build on, and operates as a force multiplier for engineering β€” through code, design, mentorship, and judgment.

  • Set multi-year technical direction
  • Define the technical roadmap for a major platform area (e.g., lifecycle management, billing, integrations, data platform) across multiple teams and quarters.
  • Make build-vs-buy and platform-vs-feature trade-offs at the company level, with clear written rationale.
  • Sequence the technical investments that unblock the company's largest customers and the next two years of growth.
  • Bring a strong, well-reasoned point of view to architecture reviews β€” and the credibility to push back on leadership when the data warrants it.
  • Architect systems other teams build on
  • Design and lead the implementation of foundational systems β€” distributed services, data flows, APIs, integrations, and shared libraries β€” that span product teams.
  • Lead non-trivial migrations and modernizations: HA upgrades, language/framework moves, monolith decompositions, schema changes, multi-region rollouts.
  • Set the technical standards for service ownership, API contracts, observability, and reliability that every team adopts.
  • Own the architecture of one or more business-critical flows end-to-end (e.g., quote-to-cash, billing, sync).
  • Ship code that matters
  • Stay deeply hands-on. Lead the implementation of the highest-leverage and highest-risk projects yourself.
  • Write code that becomes the reference example for what "good" looks like at Nue.
  • Pair with senior and staff engineers on the hardest problems; unblock teams stuck on technical depth.
  • Drive customer outcomes through engineering
  • Be the technical owner for the engineering work that unblocks Nue's largest customers.
  • Convert ambiguous customer asks into bounded engineering work with clear scope, owners, and dates.
  • Be on the call when production is on fire for a strategic customer β€” and be the senior-most engineer making the call to roll forward, roll back, or escalate.
  • Coach and mentor other engineers
  • Mentor and develop Staff and Senior engineers across the company. Help two or three of them grow into Staff or Senior Staff over the course of the year.
  • Embed deep technical thinking into design reviews, code reviews, and engineering planning across product teams β€” not just your own.
  • Build internal tools, shared libraries, and AI-assisted workflows that let every engineer ship faster.
  • Champion engineering excellence: testing, observability, security, performance, and operational maturity.
  • Drive engineering excellence at the org level
  • Help define the engineering standards the org operates against β€” testing strategy, observability bar, security posture, dev productivity, code review norms.
  • Partner with engineering managers, the CTO, and product leadership to translate strategy into engineering execution.
  • Champion AI-assisted engineering as a first-class capability β€” prompt libraries, agents, and internal tooling that compound the team's leverage.
  • Raise the bar in hiring: act as a bar-raiser, calibrate levels, and grow the senior IC pipeline.
  • Be the company's senior technical voice
  • Represent Nue's engineering org in critical customer conversations, vendor evaluations, and partner integrations where deep technical credibility is required.
  • Contribute to public engineering presence where it serves the company β€” talks, posts, OSS β€” without losing focus on internal impact.

Qualifications

  • 12+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a sustained track record of operating at Staff level or higher in a high-bar engineering org.
  • Demonstrated track record of designing and shipping foundational systems used by multiple teams β€” services, frameworks, data infrastructure, or shared platforms.
  • Deep expertise in at least one modern backend stack (Java/Spring, Node/TypeScript, Python, Go, or similar) with strong fluency in at least one more, plus the design judgment to know when each fits.
  • Strong systems-design ability: distributed systems, data modeling, consistency trade-offs, performance, scaling, and reliability β€” proven on systems with significant production load.
  • Hands-on production expertise across cloud infrastructure (AWS / GCP / Azure), Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus / Grafana, or equivalent).
  • Strong fluency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) and a track record of materially accelerating both your own work and your team's through them.
  • Demonstrated track record of leading a team or org through a significant architectural transition (HA migration, language/framework move, multi-region, monolith β†’ services).
  • Track record of mentoring senior and staff engineers; multiple engineers will say you were materially responsible for their growth.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfort defending technical positions in front of executive leadership.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation and benefits that reward your talent and impact.
  • Comprehensive health, vision, dental, and life insurance.
  • A front-row seat in the Silicon Valley tech ecosystem, where you’ll work on cutting-edge challenges shaping the future of SaaS, finance, and payments.
  • The opportunity to build truly groundbreaking products β€” your work won’t just support the business; it will influence how companies around the world monetize and grow.
  • A high-energy, collaborative culture where smart, supportive teammates push each other to learn fast, think boldly, and do the best work of their careers.
  • Room to grow, lead, and make your mark in a fast-scaling company that values creativity, ownership, and ambition.
