ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Staff Software Engineer at GlossGenius, you are focused on some of GlossGenius’s most complex and highest-impact opportunities. You will typically be the technical lead for a team or a large technical domain, work closely with cross-functional teams on team roadmap planning and OKRs, and influence critical technical decisions. As a technical leader, your impact scales beyond your direct team and extends to the broader engineering organization. You hold a high bar, inspire, and level up the engineers around you, and you’re able to both zoom out and think about high-level architecture and business problems but are still able to roll up your sleeves and write code when needed.
GlossGenius has grown significantly, supporting tens of thousands of customers and seeing billions of transaction volumes on our platforms. As our customers continue to grow their businesses, we want to enable them to be more successful.
This role is a remote position and can be based anywhere in Canada.
