About The Position

As a Staff Software Developer at Auvik, you’ll lead through technical excellence. You’ll dive deep into our systems, tackle the hardest technical problems, and deliver production-quality solutions that improve our products and platform at scale. While your influence may extend across teams through shared tooling, mentorship, or technical guidance, your day-to-day focus will be deeply embedded in a development team — designing, coding, debugging, and shipping high-quality software alongside your teammates. This role is ideal for a developer who wants to stay close to the codebase while still having wide-reaching technical influence and driving high-impact outcomes.

Requirements

A hands-on engineer who loves solving tough problems through code and building systems that scale.
A deep technical contributor with a strong grasp of system design, clean coding practices, and debugging complex issues.
A team player who thrives in collaborative environments and can communicate ideas effectively across functions.
A mentor who lifts others by pairing, sharing insights, and providing thoughtful feedback in reviews.
A proactive self-starter who can independently lead projects from start to finish, always looking for ways to improve.
Familiarity with tools and practices for logging, tracing, metrics collection, and alerting (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Datadog, etc.).
You’ve tackled performance bottlenecks or scalability challenges in high-traffic systems.
You’ve built tooling or frameworks that boosted developer velocity.
You’ve contributed to open-source projects or enjoy staying sharp with side projects.
A deeply technical, hands-on engineer who uses AI pragmatically to solve hard problems, writes high-quality production code, debugs across distributed systems, and elevates team output through strong system design and engineering rigor.

Responsibilities

Own complex technical challenges and architect scalable, performant solutions.
Writing clean, maintainable code — and lots of it — in languages like Go, Scala, or TypeScript (React/GraphQL).
Diagnosing and resolving complex production - digging across systems to find root causes and deliver lasting fixes that restore customer trust.
Working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build features that provide real value to our customers.
Apply AI-enabled techniques to solve complex engineering problems, using intelligent tooling, automation, and data-informed debugging to build scalable systems, improve reliability, and accelerate delivery across the stack.
Leading by example in code reviews, mentoring other developers, and championing best practices in development and testing.
Proactively identifying and implementing technical improvements across our codebase, systems, and developer workflows.
Collaborating across teams to ensure consistency in implementation, performance, and user experience.
Helping unblock others by sharing context, reviewing designs, and contributing reusable tools, libraries, or frameworks.
