[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer @saas.group

Role Description

This role is part of our Prerender team, one of our growing brands at saas.group. For nearly a decade, Prerender has empowered marketers to create dynamic, complex sites at scale, making their JavaScript websites easily indexable by search engines. We eliminate indexing and crawling limitations, allowing our customers to gain the upper-hand on HTML sites and rank higher on SERPs. More than 100,000 websites around the globe trust Prerender to serve more than 2.7 billion web pages to crawlers to improve organic search ranking.

As a Staff Engineer at Prerender, you amplify effectiveness across teams, systems, and practices. You’re deeply hands-on, but your biggest impact comes from enabling others to move faster, safer, and with greater confidence. You lead major architectural evolutions, coach engineers in XP principles, and help teams make sound technical decisions that scale across the organization.

This role combines strategic thinking with practical execution; you’ll shape the technical direction of our distributed rendering platform, align teams on shared goals, and create the conditions for consistent, high-quality delivery.

If you’re motivated by simplifying complexity, raising the bar for technical excellence, and empowering others to do their best work, you’ll thrive here.

Qualifications

• 10+ years designing and shipping complex, distributed systems
• A track record of leading large-scale technical initiatives that simplified and strengthened core systems
• Expertise in modern backend development - ideally in TypeScript/Node.js or Golang, plus familiarity with AWS and cloud-native infrastructure
• The ability to see across layers of the stack, connecting product goals with technical architecture
• You elevate others through context, guidance, and example
• You balance short-term priorities with long-term sustainability and technical health
• You make complex ideas clear to both technical and non-technical audiences
• You’re always looking for ways to make systems, teams, and practices better
• Bonus if you’ve worked in SEO, web performance, or large-scale rendering infrastructure

Requirements

• Contribute to core systems while modeling high standards in code quality, testing, and design
• Drive cross-team initiatives that move our systems toward simplicity, scalability, and testability
• Support engineers at all levels through pairing, design reviews, and hands-on coaching in XP practices
• Design elegant solutions to deep technical challenges in performance, reliability, and distributed rendering
• Spot risks early, resolve systemic bottlenecks, and establish good defaults that let teams move quickly and confidently
• Promote practices like TDD, pair programming, and continuous delivery to keep development fast without sacrificing stability
• Partner with product and leadership to balance short-term delivery with long-term technical health

Benefits

• Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
• Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
• Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable.
• Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
