[Hiring] Staff Engineer @Ideals

Role Description

We're looking for a Staff Engineer / Tech Lead to join our Engineering team. In this role, you'll combine hands-on technical delivery with impact that extends beyond a single team:

• Raising engineering standards
• Helping teams work through ambiguous problems
• Supporting the growth of the engineers around you

You'll work as part of a team on modernization efforts and new feature initiatives, including AI-related capabilities. Your focus and team assignment may evolve based on where the organization needs expertise most.

Impact in this role spans four areas:

• Hands-on project delivery
• Engineering excellence across the wider backend
• Providing direction when problems are ambiguous
• Contributing to the growth of the people around you

This role tends to be the most rewarding for engineers who enjoy being a multiplier for the people around them: unblocking teams, shaping direction together, and growing others along the way, rather than working in isolation or waiting to be told exactly what to do next.

Qualifications

• Expert-level backend engineering skills in C# / .NET
• Solid experience with automated testing, DevOps practices, and working with databases
• A strong product mindset - understanding of the business and product context behind technical decisions
• Proven ability to work autonomously and collaborate as a peer with senior engineers, without needing tasks broken down for you
• Comfort with responsibilities beyond pure technical delivery, such as mentoring, cross-team collaboration, or representing the team on broader initiatives
• Strong communication skills and an Upper-intermediate (B2) or higher level of English

Requirements

• Hands-on experience building or integrating AI-related features (nice to have)
• Experience with system design and architecture-level decision-making (nice to have)

Benefits

• Remote-first flexibility to shape your ideal workday
• Home workplace budget
• Resilient home budget for Ukraine-based teammates
• Resilient office in Kyiv & co-working expense coverage
• Individual IT budget for extra equipment
• Top-tier tech and AI-powered tools
• Access to Ideals Academy with numerous courses
• Investment in external learning and development activities
• Guidance in Personal Development Plan creation
• Professional literature and subscriptions coverage
• Support of your passion as a speaker or writer
• Internal talent mobility opportunities
• Medical insurance and Wellness Package for sport-related activities
• Full coverage of mental health sessions for Ukrainian teammates
• Funding for sports competitions
• 20 business days of paid time off per year
• Unlimited health-related time-off
• Generous internal referral program
