StaffFullstackEngineer

Role overview: We're looking for a Staff fullstack engineer to set technical direction for Dispatch's platform. You'll own the highest-leverage architecture decisions, ship the systems behind our hardest problems, and force-multiply multiple engineering teams. This is a senior IC role — no direct reports — reporting to an Engineering Manager. Where you'll make an impact: - Lead the architecture for our hardest cross-cutting platform decisions — service boundaries, data models, sync semantics, and integration patterns — and make them defensibly, in writing and in conversation with the engineers who will live with them. - Ship the highest-complexity systems end-to-end — data orchestration, sync, custodian integrations, and customer-facing apps. You stay hands-on in production code. - Raise the technical bar across the engineering org on system design, code quality, and observability. Engineers across teams seek your review because it sharpens their work. - Partner with Product, Design, and engineering leadership to shape the roadmap — surfacing trade-offs, sequencing decisions, and risks the plan depends on. - Mentor and uplevel senior engineers without managing them. Your influence shows up in design reviews, the systems you build, and the example you set. Requirements: - 10+ years of engineering experience with a personal track record of architecting and shipping high-scale, high-complexity production systems. - Deep fullstack depth — comfortable writing production Node and React at a high level of craft. - Experience setting technical direction across multiple engineers or teams — you've been the person whose architectural calls others built on top of. - Strong record of working closely with cross-functional product teams to ship customer-facing software that holds up in production. - Meaningful time at an early-stage, high-growth company — startup work as a core part of your career, not a brief stint, on teams that shipped weekly or faster with output that held up
