## About the role

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to own entire product areas at Arena — identifying what to build, designing and shipping the solution, driving it to measurable outcomes, and raising the bar for the team along the way. This is a hands-on IC role. You are the architect, not the delegator. You write code, design systems, and ship product — and you have a track record of doing this repeatedly with clear, attributable impact.
