Job Description
Staff Software Engineer leading architectural decisions and project execution for a cloud-based finance platform. Collaborate with engineers and finance leaders, leveraging modern tech stack including React and Golang.
Responsibilities:
- As a Staff Engineer, you will be a technical anchor on our core platform — driving architectural decisions that determine how we scale to serve enterprise finance and engineering buyers.
- Lead critical and large-scale complex projects, providing both hands-on technical expertise and end-to-end project execution.
- Contribute across the stack, with core focus on API design, BigQuery and modern data warehousing, and React/TypeScript front-end development — with working familiarity across relational and non-relational databases, authentication, CI/CD, and customer-facing features.
- Drive and own end-to-end delivery of features, including planning, design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, adoption, and performance in production.
- Make informed tradeoffs between tactical and strategic technical approaches, balancing long-term scalability with immediate business needs.
- Own the architecture and quality bar of the platform, with primary accountability for the web application layer.
- Uphold a high bar by participating in technical discussions, providing feedback on specs, and making recommendations while uplifting and mentoring junior team members.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of delivering scalable web applications and platform services across early-stage and enterprise companies, with expertise in designing and implementing data and analytics platforms, including BigQuery, large-scale data warehousing, and pipelines that support analytics and product insights.
- Experience building backend services in Golang.
- Passionate about learning new knowledge and skills, skilled at quickly ramping up in new areas.
- Bias for action — address ambiguity and hard conversations directly, and actively promote these traits across the engineering organization.
- Experience interacting with customers and business leads.
- Excellent critical thinking and communication skills.
- Regularly consider business lenses and tradeoffs, even for deeply technical engineering problems.
Benefits:
- Company-sponsored travel to interact with colleagues several times a year.
- We provide generous health benefits, 401(k) plan, and a WFH budget for you to set up your home office (not available for contract or short term roles such as internships).
- Equity compensation so that all employees can participate in Ternary's success (not available for contract or short term roles such as internships).
- The team culture is the best of what you would expect to see at a startup combined with a level of maturity you would see at a much larger company.
