# Staff Software Engineer

1 big thing: Axios is a growth-focused media company helping people get smarter, faster, on what matters. We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer-a senior, hands-on individual contributor-to lead architecture and delivery for Axios’ core products across multiple teams using strong product-engineering and AI-native practices. Why it matters: Axios delivers clear, trustworthy news to millions of readers. You’ll be anchored to a product area while shaping full-stack systems and technical direction across multiple teams and connected systems. This is not a people-management role. AI is core to how we build. You’ll use coding agents throughout implementation, testing, review, debugging, documentation, and operations while remaining accountable for architecture, quality, security, and product outcomes. Staff impact comes from sustained scope, judgment, and results-not tool use alone. You’ll work with product managers, designers, engineers, and leaders to shape plans, align dependencies, resolve ambiguity, build resilient systems, and help others make better technical decisions. Responsibilities: As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll lead reliable product and platform work across Axios
