[Hiring] Staff Engineer @WEALTHCOUNSEL LLC

Role Description

We are seeking a motivated and driven Quality Assurance Engineer to join our team. Staff Engineers are technical leaders whose impact reaches beyond a single team. You are accountable for the technical direction of your product team and take the lead on architecture where the problems are hardest, the requirements are least defined, and the stakes are highest. You write code alongside your team and grow the engineers around you. You partner with Engineering and Product leadership so that what we build, who builds it, and why all stay in sync.

• Own the technical direction for your assigned development team and its product portfolio.
• Serve as your development team's primary technical leader.
• Define the technical vision for the systems and product teams you own.
• Drive technical strategy: build-vs-buy analysis and recommendations.
• Decide on technical quality standards for your product team.
• Review and approve technical design drafts from developers.
• Stay hands-on: write production code, build prototypes, and tackle the hardest problems.
• Coach developers through code review, pairing, and design feedback.
• Identify cross-system risks and opportunities.
• Represent technical feasibility and risk to leadership.
• Align with leadership on technical priorities and individual development.
• Participate in hiring by evaluating candidates against the technical bar.
• Lead incident response and ensure remediation is designed to prevent recurrence.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Track record of leading cross-system architecture.
• Deep expertise designing and building cloud applications on AWS.
• Expert proficiency in TypeScript/Node.js.
• Demonstrated technical influence beyond your own team.
• Experience mentoring and coaching developers.
• Experience with Claude Code, Copilot, or other agentic coding tools.
• AWS Certified Developer – Associate (DVA-C02/DVA-C03) certification.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) certification.
• Experience with infrastructure as code at scale using AWS CDK or Terraform.
• Experience migrating legacy systems to microservices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing generative-AI features on Amazon Bedrock.
