Staff Software Engineer, Full Stack at Trueanomalyinc · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Lead and deliver large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that span the entire stack, aligning frontend experience, backend infrastructure, and system architecture with strategic company objectives, from technical vision through production deployment and long-term evolution
Define and drive the full-stack technical roadmap and architectural strategy, establishing patterns, frameworks, and systems that enable the entire engineering organization to move faster across both React/TypeScript and Elixir codebases
Serve as the primary technical decision-maker for cross-stack architecture, evaluating and adopting new technologies, defining the boundaries and contracts between frontend and backend systems, and establishing engineering standards that balance innovation with maintainability
Proactively identify systemic technical debt, scalability challenges, and architectural limitations across the stack, then build business cases, secure buy-in, and lead multi-quarter initiatives to address them
Elevate the engineering organization through technical mentorship, establishing best practices, leading design reviews, and developing the skills of senior, mid-level, and junior engineers across both frontend and backend disciplines
Partner with executive leadership, product, design, space operations, and astrodynamics teams as a key technical stakeholder, influencing product strategy and company direction with a perspective that encompasses the entire technical surface
Drive engineering efficiency and excellence by establishing metrics, tooling, and processes that improve code quality, system reliability, deployment velocity, and developer experience across the stack
Build and maintain technical documentation, architectural decision records, and knowledge-sharing systems that scale organizational learning
Represent the full-stack engineering perspective in strategic planning, resource allocation, and cross-company technical decisions Identify and develop emerging technical leaders within the team, creating growth pathways and opportunities for engineers to expand their impact across the stack
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE
You recognize that the team is repeatedly solving similar problems differently across the frontend and backend; you design and champion unified patterns, drive their adoption across teams, and measure their impact on velocity and reliability
You identify a fundamental mismatch between the frontend data model and the backend service architecture before it becomes a scaling crisis; you build a compelling case with data, present it to leadership, secure a quarter of engineering time, and lead a coordinated migration across both layers
