As a Staff Software Engineer, you will develop scalable distributed data storage systems, mentor engineers, and uphold engineering standards.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you will take us beyond traditional monolithic SQL engines and batch pipelines. You will build the next generation of distributed data storage and processing systems. You will build systems that can scale indefinitely, and surpass traditional query performance, while making the interfaces for that data simple, expressive, and cleanly abstracted. Your interfaces will support a broad array of data consumers, from our web application, to business analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Primary Duties:
- Identify and develop scalable and performant solutions.
- Work across discipline to shape product strategy and execution.
- Develop the foundations of code architecture and quality.
- Mentor and coach engineers.
- Set and uphold the standard for engineering processes to support high-quality engineering.
Minimum Qualifications :
- BS/BTech (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field required.
- 8+ years of production-level experience as an engineer building highly scalable systems.
- 4+ years of experience acting as a trusted technical decision-maker in a team setting, solving for short-term and long-term business value.
- 4+ years of experience working with SQL or other database querying languages on large multi-table data sets.
- Experience architecting, developing, and deploying large-scale distributed systems at scale.
- Experience with cloud technologies, e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP.
- Experience building continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) pipelines.
- Strong familiarity with server-side web technologies (eg: Java, Python, Scala, C#, C++, Go).
Preferred KSAs:
- 8+ years experience as an engineer architecting, developing, and deploying full-stack web applications as part of a cross-functional team.
- 6+ years experience as an engineer building scalable and reliable backend systems.
- Experience working with AWS technologies, Kafka etc.
- 4+ years of experience working with with CSS/HTML/Javascript and modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, VueJs/Ember.
- Experience building ‘platforms’ as an evolution of bespoke softwares.
- Experience building continuous integration and continuous deployment(CI/CD) pipelines.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and implement technical solutions for complex problems in healthcare.
- Lead and mentor junior engineers, providing guidance and support in their professional development.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements related to healthcare software.
- Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and feature planning sessions.
- Expertise in at least 1 server-side web technology (eg: Nodejs, Java, Python, Scala, C#, C++,Go, JVM). Python preferred.
- Experience with any web framework (Django, FastAPI, Flask etc).
- Experience with API design and development.
- Experience with cloud based technologies such as AWS, Azure or google cloud.
- Knowledge of containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
- Experience with security and systems that handle sensitive data.
Physical Requirements:
- Sitting for prolonged periods of time. Extensive use of computers and keyboard. Occasional walking and lifting may be required.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
