Super.com engineering has four full-stack product development focus areas: fintech, travel, earnings, and a Super+ membership program to unite them all. Our dozens of microservices and event-driven architecture handle thousands of requests and events per second, ingest over 1TB of data per day, and process over $1MM per day in sales, leveraging state of the art infrastructure. We have 80 highly skilled engineers across our teams and we work in close partnership with Product Managers, Designers, and QA in an agile, fast-paced, scaleup environment (that respects work/life balance). We focus on driving business value through ambitious technical achievement, and place a huge emphasis on providing the structure to fast-track our team members' growth.
About the Role
We are looking to bring on a full-stack Staff Software Engineer for our Super+ vertical.

Propel the business forward by driving high-impact projects, leveraging other engineers and teams as appropriate in some cases serving as the cross functional context holder ensuring efficient delivery when cross functional work is necessary.
Work across multiple codebases, as you contribute to them, improve them, and share findings and suggestions with other engineers at guild meetings (technical guilds discuss and set engineering standards)
Help shape the technical roadmap for the engineering organization by contributing to OKR brainstorming sessions
Create and present cross-team and cross-eng technical presentations focused on improving developer experience, engineering productivity, and processes
Be largely self-directed in terms of project selection and execution
