The Staff Engineer will own and influence system design, architecture, code quality, scalability, reliability, and engineering standards for critical systems. This is a hands-on role requiring strong expertise in distributed systems, scalable software, backend engineering, databases, high availability, and modern software architecture. The ideal candidate is comfortable solving complex technical problems, reviewing code and designs, mentoring engineers, and making pragmatic architectural decisions. This position requires full-time, on-site presence at our office.\n\nResponsibilities: \nSystem Design and Architecture: Own the design and evolution of scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems. Make architectural decisions and clearly communicate trade-offs.\nTechnical Ownership: Take ownership of technically complex problems and drive them from problem definition through implementation and resolution.\nDistributed Systems: Design and build distributed systems with appropriate approaches to concurrency, consistency, fault tolerance, replication, partitioning, and scaling.\nScalability and Reliability: Ensure systems can scale effectively while maintaining high availability, performance, and resilience.\nCode and Design Reviews: Set a high bar for code quality and architecture through thoughtful code reviews, design reviews, and engineering practices.\nBackend Engineering: Design and build production-grade services and APIs using Java, Go, and/or Python.\nDatabase Design: Design and optimise data models, queries, indexes, transactions, and database architectures for scale and performance.\nTechnical Leadership: Drive engineering standards and architectural consistency across teams through technical guidance and influence.\nMentorship: Mentor engineers across levels, particularly senior engineers, and help raise the overall technical bar of the organisation.\nEngineering Quality: Promote practices that result in reliable, maintainable, well-tested, and low-defect software. Requirements and Qualifications\n\nRequirements: \nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong experience designing and building production systems.\nExperience operating at Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Technical Lead level is preferred. Technical Proficiency.\nStrong programming experience in Java, Go, and/or Python.\nStrong understanding of object-oriented design, concurrency, multithreading, data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns.\nStrong expertise in system design and distributed systems.\nExperience designing scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant systems.\nStrong understanding of databases, including relational and NoSQL systems, data modelling, indexing, transactions, replication, partitioning, and performance optimisation.\nGood understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD.\nStrong understanding of software testing, observability, security, and performance engineering.\nAbility to work across technology stacks and understand the complete system rather than focusing only on an individual service.\nReact/frontend experience is a plus. Professional Competencies\nArchitectural Thinking: Ability to reason about complex systems, identify trade-offs, and make pragmatic long-term decisions.\nTechnical Judgment: Knows when to keep things simple and when complexity is justified by scale, reliability, or business requirements.\nOwnership: Takes responsibility for technical outcomes and proactively identifies and addresses engineering problems.\nProblem Solving: Strong analytical skills with the ability to break down ambiguous and complex problems.\nCommunication: Clearly communicates technical decisions, designs, trade-offs, and risks to engineers and stakeholders.\nMentorship: Strong ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction through design and code reviews.\nTechnical Influence: Able to drive engineering improvements and architectural decisions through influence rather than hierarchy.\nEngineering Excellence: Strong focus on correctness, scalability, maintainability, reliability, and quality.\nAdaptability: Comfortable working across different technologies, systems, and problem domains.\nSkills\nDatabases, Distributed Systems, Go, Java, Python","description_format":"text","description_chars":4517,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Medical Imaging Systems","Medical AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T22:35:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T01:18:38Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/carpl-ai-staff-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/carpl-ai-staff-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T01:18:38Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2866,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":178275},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=178275"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcarpl-ai-staff-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcarpl-ai-staff-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcarpl-ai-staff-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/carpl-ai-staff-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcarpl-ai-staff-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4202733}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"carpl.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4202733},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
