About the role

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to operate across Acquisition Engineering. You won’t be limited to a single team or service; your mandate is to identify the highest-impact technical opportunities across the funnel—especially the cross-team gaps that no individual team can solve alone—and drive them to durable outcomes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership across multiple teams or a large product area
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and drive ambiguous, cross-cutting problems to resolution without a narrowly defined charter

  • Strong product and business judgment, with the ability to connect technical investments to customer experience, growth, and operational outcomes
  • Proven ability to influence across engineering, product, and business stakeholders without direct authority
  • Strong collaboration, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs to senior business and engineering stakeholders
