Staff Engineer

Tabby launched in 2019 and has since raised +$1 billion in equity and debt funding from global and regional investors, and is now valued at $6,5 billion.

We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to work on high-impact projects in a high-growth environment, alongside a world-class remote engineering team spread across 20+ countries. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Shape the technical direction and roadmap of Core Backend, building shared services, libraries, and developer tools used by engineering teams across Tabby.

• Identify common challenges across teams and turn them into reusable solutions that improve developer productivity, system reliability, and security.

• Lead the design and evolution of shared backend capabilities, including event-driven communication, application-level encryption, and sensitive data protection.

• Develop internal engineering tools such as our Service Catalog, API Registry, SLO platform, and AI-assisted development tools, making them useful and easy to adopt.

• Drive complex initiatives from problem discovery and design through implementation, rollout, and production validation, coordinating work across engineers and teams.

• Work closely with teams using our tools to understand their needs, support integrations and migrations, and use feedback to guide further improvements.

• Stay hands-on with Go, validate performance and failure scenarios, and build observability and recovery mechanisms into systems that other teams depend on.

• Raise the engineering bar through architecture reviews, clear technical decisions, mentoring, and documentation that enables others to own and extend shared systems.

What you’ll bring:

• 7+ years of backend engineering, including building and operating production systems at scale.

• Strong Go experience and a track record of staying hands-on in senior technical roles.

• Deep expertise in distributed, high-load systems. Our stack includes PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes, GCP, GitLab and microservices.

• Proven ownership of complex initiatives from design through production, including architecture and technology decisions with lasting impact.

• A strong grasp of quality, security, observability and operational excellence.

• Experience integrating third-party APIs and contributing to product development.

• The ability to influence decisions across teams and explain technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across a team or organization.

• Strong English and a proactive, autonomous approach to ambiguous problems.

What we offer:

• Full-time B2B contract

• Fully remote setup

• Up to 20% tax allowance

• 22 paid leave days annually

• Stock options (ESOP) in a fast-scaling, pre-IPO company

• Flexi benefits you can use for wellness, travel, or learning

• Work alongside a high-performing, international engineering team in a global fintech unicorn
