Senior Staff Software Engineer

Join Whatnot, the largest live shopping platform in North America and Europe. As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will drive cross-organizational technical impact, establish technical direction, spot systemic risks and opportunities, build patterns and frameworks, steward the health of multiple systems, and shape engineering culture. You should have 10+ years of software engineering experience, a deep mastery in one or more technical domains, and a proven track record of cross-org impact.

• Drive cross-org technical impact by creating capabilities that don’t yet exist, measured by movement in company-level metrics and the durability of the systems you leave behind.
• Establish technical direction that holds across org boundaries, through strategy docs, RFCs, and architecture reviews, reducing the need for repeated alignment and enabling teams to make good decisions independently.
• Spot systemic risks and opportunities others miss, positioning multiple orgs to respond before problems become crises, by staying close to the business and maintaining deep context across domains.
