Overview:

As a Staff Engineer on the Customer eXperience Engineering (CXE) team, you will be a technical leader on a team of full-stack developers that build web apps, APIs, microservices, and automation to support onboarding. You will help coach developers who are earlier in their career, facilitate technical design decisions, and help key stakeholders to understand the technical tradeoffs involved in product development and maintenance.

Lily Staff Engineers are force multipliers who play a key role in leading the engineering organization, scaling the team, and deliberately cultivating the practices that will deliver value today and improve velocity tomorrow. Your listening skills are even more impressive than your presentation skills, and you are ready to be a player-coach from the first day.

• Document systems, decisions, and technical designs
• Guide teams towards useful questions to ask and facilitate bottom-up decision-making
• Cultivate continuous improvement (testing, observability, documentation, etc…)
• Write code, submit pull requests, dig through logs, and be on call to resolve issues

• Strong experience in Java and Javascript with exceptional communication and coding skills
• Deep familiarity with agile, devops, and related continuous improvement practices
• A track record helping teams to improve while leading the delivery of complex web apps
