Staff Engineer Lead Jobs

The Storage Layer Services team is currently re-architecting the MongoDB Cloud Storage Layer. This is a relatively new team in MongoDB that sits at the heart of the next generation MongoDB Cloud Storage Architecture, and the team is working to build performant multi-tenant distributed storage services both to enhance our existing MongoDB cloud storage architecture and to power more of our customers' use cases more efficiently. Engineering at MongoDB is globally distributed, with a mix of folks being fully remote, hybrid, or in-office. We have a small but growing team that calls Sydney home, and we are looking for a Staff Engineer to join the team working closely with other teams in Sydney and North America. Our team champions a strong culture of inclusivity, diversity, and collaboration. If you want to work on a collaborative team that applies great engineering fundamentals to deliver core features of a popular database, join us! Let’s change what’s possible for application developers, system architects, and database operators. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Sydney for our hybrid working model. You’re an ideal candidate if: You have 10+ years of experience in programming, debugging, and performance tuning highly concurrent and/or distributed systems. Especially if you have worked in a systems language (C, C++, Rust, etc) for a number of those years You have a track record as an effective technical leader. You love helping teams be successful at solving vaguely defined problems in iterative and measurable ways. You put the customer first, and don’t hesitate to cross team boundaries in search of the right solution You have a solid grasp of related systems fundamentals, such as cache management, log-based recovery, transactions or performance profiling You’re comfortable reasoning about highly concurrent, asynchronous services — backpressure, tail latency, and the failure modes of replicated state machines You’ve worked on large, highly availabl

At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most. About the Role Affirm is building its own bank — and this role is one of the most senior individual-contributor seats on the engineering team that runs it. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be a technical anchor for a deliberately small, AI-native team that owns the systems behind Affirm's bank: vendor-integrated banking infrastructure, the data platform, and the operational tooling that holds it all together. You'll set technical direction across that surface area, own the hardest problems on the team — including the Bank ↔ Affirm Inc integration boundary — and operate with direct exposure to senior bank and Affirm leadership. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new business from its very first systems — a startup-like build inside an established company — at a level of ownership that goes beyond delivering your own projects. As a Staff engineer here you set the bar: the architecture, the standards, and the technical strategy that the rest of the team builds against. The team is small and AI-native, the surface area is broad, and the decisions you make carry far — every system you ship serves real customers under a real bank charter, and the patterns you establish determine what the bank becomes. What You'll Do Set technical direction across the bank's systems. Own the medium-to-long-term technical strategy for the bank's core surfaces — cloud infrastructure, data platform, core banking configuration, CI/CD, networking, and the Bank ↔ Affirm Inc integration — and make the architecture calls the rest of the team builds against. Generalist breadth is expected; you go deep where the risk is highest. Own the hardest problems end-to-end. Personally design, build, integrate, and operate the most ambiguous and highest-stakes pieces of the stack, and own incident response for them.

An overview of this role As a Staff Engineer, you'll be the technical anchor for GitLab's Nonlinear Productivity team in the US: the person who decides what "proven" means before something ships, and who helps shape what the team builds next, not just how to build it.

Some examples of the problems this team takes on: Cutting the time it takes to complete a good code review — one that still keeps a human in the loop — by half, using agentic solutions.

Who we are About Stripe Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies — from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups — use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career. About the Organization The Core Infrastructure organization operates the foundational systems that power Stripe globally — including databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL), high availability and disaster recovery (HADR), AWS cloud infrastructure, Linux servers, container orchestration, mesh networking, service discovery, and network edge infrastructure. Within Core Infra, the Regional Enablement Platform (REP) team helps Stripe launch and operate new regions without learning about broken dependencies from users. REP builds the regionalization, validation, deploy-safety, and operator tooling needed to answer practical launch-readiness questions: can critical payment paths run from the new region, which services still depend on a remote control plane, what breaks under packet loss or failover, and what must be fixed before deploys, launches, traffic shifts, or failovers proceed. The team uses traffic replay, synthetics, failover drills, dependency analysis, CI/CD gates, and incident data to turn those findings into platform fixes, service-owner asks, and reusable readiness checks across networking, HADR, and service teams. This role is based in Bangalore and serves as a senior technical anchor for Core Infrastructure in India, with direct cross-region influence across AMER, EU, and APAC. What you'll do As a Staff Engineer on REP, you will play a key leadership role in enabling Stripe's infrastructure to power all of our products, globally and at scale. You will
