As a Staff Software Engineer at Avra, you will act as a technical cornerstone for our engineering team—setting high standards for architecture, mentorship, and execution. Collaborating closely with founders and cross-functional leadership, you’ll lead the design of our scalable end-to-end platform, influencing the technical direction of our proprietary AI and data pipelines. This high-impact role sits at the crossroads of deep tech and strategic influence, ideal for a leader who makes a mark through both code and guidance.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in full stack software development, including at least 2 years in a staff-level or comparable technical leadership position.
  • Mastery of modern web and back-end technologies, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), distributed systems architecture, and CI/CD practices.
  • Proven ability to design scalable systems across team boundaries, large data volumes, and organizational complexity.
  • Demonstrated track record of mentoring engineers, aligning teams on technical decisions, and contributing to a positive engineering culture.
  • Excellent communicator, able to explain complex technical ideas to both technical and non-technical team members in a remote, multicultural environment.

Nice To Haves

  • Operate fluidly at both architectural and code levels—equally skilled at whiteboarding distributed systems and reviewing code.
  • Expertise in modern front-end frameworks (React) and backend technologies (Go, Python, Rust) and have led teams deploying these technologies at scale.
  • Strong history of successfully delivering complex, cross-team technical projects from conception to production.
  • Experienced with cloud-native infrastructure, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and have strong opinions on best practices.
  • Lead with humility and clarity, exerting influence without authority and uplifting those around you.
  • Thrive on deep technological challenges and are driven by building systems that inform enterprise-scale decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Platform Architecture & Leadership: Shape and advance the architecture of our full-stack platform, ensuring it remains scalable, maintainable, and strategically aligned.
  • Technical Vision: Work alongside founders and engineering leaders to establish organizational standards for system design, technology choices, and development practices.
  • Cloud Infrastructure at Scale: Design and manage complex components in our multi-cloud environment (AWS and GCP), prioritizing reliability, observability, and cost effectiveness.
  • Cross-Functional Influence: Serve as the technical link among data engineers, data scientists, ML researchers, and product teams, transforming complex requirements into robust, integrated solutions.
  • Engineering Excellence: Lead the implementation of CI/CD, define testing strategies, set code review standards, and establish performance benchmarks for all teams.
  • Mentorship & Growth: Guide senior and mid-level engineers through mentorship and technical reviews, actively contributing to organizational engineering growth.
