Senior Staff Engineer
About The Position
At Aspect, we are reimagining the human experience at work. As we build Aspect Intelligence, our next-generation cloud-native, AI-driven platform, we are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to help architect and build scalable, resilient distributed systems. This is a hands-on technical leadership role—setting architectural direction while staying close to the code and turning complex designs into reliable, production-ready software. As a Senior Staff Engineer, you will play a key role in architecting and building the next generation of our cloud-native SaaS platform. You will combine deep distributed systems expertise with hands-on engineering, setting technical direction while working directly with engineering teams to turn architecture into production software. This is not a pure architecture role. You will remain close to the code, designing and building systems using our modern React, TypeScript, Node.js, AWS, and Kubernetes/EKS stack while driving architectural decisions across teams.
Requirements
- 10+ years of building production software, with demonstrated ownership of architecture and technical direction for complex enterprise SaaS applications.
- Deep experience designing and building scalable, resilient, highly available distributed systems in AWS or another major public cloud, including solving real-world scalability, resiliency, and production reliability challenges.
- Strong and recent hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, and Node.js, ideally building complex, multi-tenant enterprise SaaS products.
- Deep production experience building and operating applications on Kubernetes/EKS, including microservices, containerization, scaling, service communication, resiliency, and production troubleshooting.
- You can set architecture and technical direction but still write code, prototype solutions, troubleshoot production issues, and work directly with engineering teams. We are not looking for a pure Enterprise or Solutions Architect.
- Proven ability to drive significant architectural decisions across multiple teams, lead design reviews, influence engineers without direct authority, and mentor senior technical talent.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Agentic AI, LLMs, MCP, WFM, CCaaS, or workforce orchestration is a plus, but not required.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and evolution of scalable, resilient, highly available distributed applications running in AWS and Kubernetes/EKS.
- Set technical direction and engineering patterns across our React, TypeScript, and Node.js stack, including APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
- Work directly with code and production systems—build prototypes, review critical implementations, troubleshoot complex problems, and help translate architecture into working software.
- Drive architecture and design decisions across engineering teams, lead technical/design reviews, and mentor senior engineers while establishing pragmatic engineering standards.
Benefits
- Aspect is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that a diverse and inclusive team is the most effective way to build technology that serves the world.
