About The Position

The Staff Software Engineer is a technical leader who architects, develops, and evolves systems powering Bluebeam’s flagship application, Revu. The role combines Windows desktop development—particularly C#, .NET, and WPF—with cloud-native backend systems on AWS, with an immediate focus on backend services and platform foundations using Golang and C#. The engineer works across product, design, quality, architecture, security, DevOps, and engineering teams to translate ambiguous customer and business needs into secure, scalable, resilient, and maintainable solutions. The role raises the technical bar through architectural judgment, delivery leadership, operational ownership, and developing other engineers. The position leads complex end-to-end product capabilities spanning the Revu Windows desktop application and AWS-hosted backend services. It provides technical leadership for cross-team initiatives, contributes production-quality code across the stack, improves engineering practices and delivery systems, and establishes operational excellence. It also mentors engineers and partners with cross-functional and customer-facing stakeholders to deliver customer-centered solutions aligned with the Revu product vision.

Requirements

12+ years of professional software development experience, including substantial experience delivering and operating production software systems.
Strong, recent development experience in Golang and C#, with .NET experience, and the ability to work across multiple languages, code bases, and technology domains.
Solid understanding of microservice architecture, API design, containerization, container orchestration, and tradeoffs in designing reliable distributed systems.
Strong knowledge of relational SQL databases, preferably PostgreSQL or equivalent, and NoSQL data stores such as Amazon DynamoDB or MongoDB; ability to select suitable data models and persistence strategies.
Experience with automated CI/CD and modern software delivery practices, including testing at multiple levels, release automation, monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform or similar tooling.
Ability to define technical designs, test strategies, service-level expectations, and operational readiness criteria for complex systems.
Demonstrated technical leadership on large, cross-functional, or multi-year initiatives, including turning broad goals into sequenced technical plans and delivering measurable outcomes.
Proven ability to mentor engineers, raise engineering quality, build alignment without formal authority, and help teams make effective decisions under ambiguity.
Strong customer empathy and product judgment, with a focus on reliable, intuitive experiences for design and construction professionals.
Collaborative, results-oriented, organized mindset; intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn, challenge assumptions constructively, and expand technical breadth.
