Staff Engineer - Backend

Technical Execution : You will be considered an expert in at least one relevant technical area, sought out for reviews and advice by multiple teams and colleagues. Your work will also include forecasting and managing project timelines and risks, and setting a sustainable and incremental team pace. It means that you will define the technical solutions for important business problems and understand the context in which large company decisions are made. Collaboration & Leadership: A part of the Staff Engineers scope is aligning non-adjacent teams and disciplines to resolve unstructured and ambiguous challenges. This extends to coaching other folks across all levels and supporting up-and-coming leaders in the team. You will lead the technical direction of their team, and influence the strategic direction and build non-adjacent team relationships. Staff Engineers are calibrated to lead all types of engineering interviews, to help guide the understanding of the LoopHealth bar for all lower levels which often requires contribution in other recruiting areas outside of interviewing.
