Senior Staff Software Engineer, Recognition Platform

What you'll do

• Lead platform architecture, RFCs, and roadmap sequencing across ingestion, identity resolution, decisioning, notifications, and operator surfaces.
• Build scalable streaming pipelines and real-time rules while aligning engineering teams and external partners.
• Own privacy, production quality, testing, rollouts, and technical standards; mentor engineers and promote AI-native workflows.

What they ask for

• 12+ years building and operating distributed, data-intensive production systems, including deep experience as a multi-service platform technical owner.
• Track record of cross-functional technical leadership and shared-architecture alignment.
• Expert proficiency in a JVM language such as Java or Scala, with fluency in event-driven and service-oriented design using gRPC/protobuf, streaming, and relational data modeling.
• Hands-on high-throughput ingestion pipeline experience and experience with rules, eligibility, or decisioning systems combining deterministic logic with probabilistic or model-driven signals.

Nice to have

• Experience with computer vision, biometric matching, sensor fusion, privacy-regulated domains, or consent management.
• Experience with IoT, edge computing, identity resolution, customer data platforms, or hospitality, retail, or physical-operations software.
