As a Staff Software Engineer, you will take on the hardest technical problems across Performativ’s platform and turn complexity into systems that scale
You will move to where things break, slow down, or do not scale, and fix them
You will also help evolve how we build by pushing pragmatic use of AI and agent-based tooling in ways that increase speed without losing control
Take on the hardest technical problems across the platform and drive them to resolution
Move across teams and systems to improve scalability, performance, and reliability
Design and evolve distributed systems operating at million-client scale
Find weak points early and fix them before they turn into incidents
Write production-grade code in the parts of the system that matter most
Turn unclear situations into concrete solutions that ship
Introduce better ways of working, including pragmatic use of agent-assisted workflows where they add real leverage
Challenge technical decisions and push for simpler, more robust solutions
Raise the bar for engineering quality through your actions, not process
Help teams move faster by removing friction and unnecessary complexity
Preferred experience

You use AI and agent-based tools to move faster, while staying accountable for the outcome
You are hands-on and comfortable writing code in critical paths
You take ownership and finish what you start
You’ve built systems that run in production at scale and understand what breaks
You are strong at debugging and getting to root causes quickly
You communicate clearly and do not hide behind jargon
You’ve influenced technical direction across teams through credibility, not authority
Experience in fintech, wealth management, or other regulated environments is a plus, not a requirement
You have strong intuition for distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and engineering tradeoffs
