About The Position

At FloQast, we aren't just building tools; we are crafting the "Operating System for Accounting." As a Staff Software Engineer, you are a primary architect of this vision. This is a role for a technical visionary who thrives on solving "impossible" distributed systems problems and understands that the best code is the kind that empowers an entire engineering organization to move faster. You won't just be "coding"—you’ll be defining the technical North Star for our application ecosystem and driving step-function improvements in how we deliver value to thousands of global brands like Zoom, DoorDash, and the MLB. This is expected to be hybrid in our San Jose or Los Angeles office.

Requirements

10+ years of experience shipping complex, enterprise-grade software.
Expert in modern backend stacks—specifically Go, Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS.
Expertise in APIs, platform-first design, and secure, compliant SaaS architectures.
Strong product intuition and an outcome-driven mindset.
Ability to take a napkin-sketch idea and turn it into a production-ready reality through influence and technical clarity.

Responsibilities

Design and deliver the core platform capabilities that power the next generation of FloQast applications.
Own the "big picture," ensuring our distributed systems are scalable, resilient, and elegant.
Lead the high-level design discussions that resolve complex trade-offs.
Establish rigorous engineering best practices to raise the floor and the ceiling for our technical standards.
Act as the bridge between "what’s possible" and "what’s needed," partnering deeply with Product and Design to translate ambiguous business goals into executable technical roadmaps.
Mentor senior engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical curiosity and high-performance execution.
