Staff Software Engineer, Fullstack

Responsibilities

• Set technical direction for Member Growth's systems.
• Own the architecture and its evolution across pods, not just your own.
• Find the highest-leverage problems and opportunities in the funnel, the platform, and our ways of working, and put them on the roadmap with a proposal.
• Write the proposals. Tech designs and RFCs with architecture diagrams, options, tradeoffs, and a clear recommendation. Make hard decisions easy to understand and easy to make.
• Make system-level calls on when to introduce eventing (Kafka, SQS), workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow, DAGs), caching, async pipelines, or new services, and when not to.
• Design for horizontal scale and low, uniform latency under real Thrive traffic patterns.
• Decompose existing services into scalable components where it materially helps.
• Plan the migration path, not just the end state.
• Work cross-team and cross-function.
• Partner with Frontend Core, Backend Core, Data, and other product teams to align on shared systems, boundaries, and contracts. Represent Member Growth in technical decisions that affect us.
