[Hiring] Staff Engineer @Penguin Ai

Role Description

The Staff Engineer finds the problems worth solving and sees them through. They drive technical direction with their own ideas and the evidence to back them, set the standard for technical quality from the code they write to the systems running in production, make AI a reliable part of how engineering work gets done, and raise the level of the engineers around them and of those we hire.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field

Requirements

• Identify what limits how fast the business can move, advocate for solutions with the people who own the decision, and drive the agreed fix through, working with the owners of every system involved
• Delegate so others grow, step in when anyone is stuck, and own the whole team’s output, crediting the team and taking problems on yourself first
• Set engineering direction alongside other technical leaders, proactively defining the tools, libraries, and practices used across departments, and champion the group’s decision even when your own proposal loses
• Build the measurement when the data doesn’t yet exist, along with a clear account of the alternatives and trade-offs
• Share designs early & rough and write down why decisions were made and what was unknown at the time
• Ship code on the team’s hardest problems, seeking out the difficult work, and review promptly, challenging the code and never the person
• Own what runs in production: its reliability, operability, and long-term health. Prevent incidents by building in observability and tested recovery, and fix root causes
• When anything goes wrong in production, take ownership at once, whoever’s system it is. Communicate early and calmly, drive the fix to completion, and review systems and decisions, never individuals
• Use AI throughout your work and answer for its output as your own. With your peers, define where it can be trusted, where it needs closer review, and what must always be verified, so results are consistent across engineers
• Represent engineering to internal and external customers as a confident technology leader: prepared, plain about trade-offs, and bringing the team along
• Coach engineers toward the next level of their work with direct, empathetic feedback, shared mistakes, and harder problems than they would choose themselves
• Hold the bar for engineering talent, judging candidates and colleagues alike on evidence against the same standard, including how each treats ideas and people
