About the role

Senior Staff or Staff Software Engineer at Campus, focused on owning technically complex, high-impact problems across the stack, shaping architecture and technical direction, and influencing engineering practices as the company scales.

Responsibilities

  • Own technically complex, high-impact problems from ambiguity through production and iteration.
  • Work across the stack and across product areas rather than being constrained to a narrow technical domain.
  • Shape architecture and technical direction while remaining deeply involved in implementation.
  • Partner closely with product, design, operations, and company leadership to determine what we should build and how.
  • Identify technical investments that create leverage for other engineers and product teams.
  • Raise the quality of engineering decisions through design, code review, mentorship, and technical leadership.
  • Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, simplicity, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
  • Use modern AI tools to increase your own engineering leverage and help shape how we build software in an AI-native development environment.
  • Help evolve our engineering practices and technical foundations as the team and product scale.

Qualifications

  • A track record of owning complex software systems or product initiatives with meaningful technical and business impact.
  • Deep software engineering fundamentals and the ability to move comfortably between architecture and implementation.
  • Experience taking ambiguous problems, creating technical clarity, and driving them through execution.
  • Strong judgment about when to build for the future and when the simplest solution is the right one.
  • Experience influencing technical decisions beyond your immediate codebase or team.
  • A history of making other engineers more effective through mentorship, technical leadership, tooling, architecture, or improved engineering practices.
  • The ability to communicate technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly to both engineering and non-engineering partners.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where ownership is high and organizational boundaries are intentionally lightweight.
  • Curiosity about how AI is changing software development and a desire to use these tools thoughtfully in your own engineering workflow.
