THE ROLE

Source is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to help lead our growing technology team. In this role, you’ll set a high bar for engineering excellence, shaping the performance and growth of a small but expanding team. Bonus points if you’re familiar with Will Larson’s work on engineering leadership—we’re inspired by it.
You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining sophisticated architecture that underpins the end-to-end commercial procurement process, with a particular focus on AI-driven solutions. This role requires not only deep technical expertise but also the ability to engage with business leadership, aligning engineering initiatives with company goals—especially in areas of AI development and adoption.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in autonomy and takes full ownership of their work. You should be a self-starter, passionate about continual improvement, and capable of identifying impactful opportunities across engineering systems, processes, and people.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in driving technical excellence and product innovation. Your contributions will include:

• Lead product and engineering teams through the technical design and development of new features, from data model documentation to API designs and backend microservices.
• Collaborate with management and business operations to develop and execute a strategy for our evolving AI platform.
• Safeguard the reliability, scalability, and security of our data systems, applying expert knowledge of databases and information security best practices.
• Establish engineering standards and practices that ensure code quality, platform maintainability, and long-term scalability.
• Mentor and coach engineering team members, fostering a culture of professional growth, continuous learning, and knowledge-sharing.
• Lead projects through their full lifecycle—from conception, design, and implementation, to shipping and maintenance.
• Support devops operations, assisting in maintaining, updating, and monitoring our platform infrastructure to ensure high availability and performance
