## About the role

We're hiring a Staff or Principal Software Engineer at Found. This is a high-impact, full-stack role where you’ll drive technical decisions across the company, raise the bar for how we build, and help senior engineers grow.

## What they're looking for

- 12+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with strong backend fundamentals and deep technical range
- Prior experience operating at a staff, principal, or architect level
- Production experience with Ruby on Rails or a comparable framework, and comfort in React/TypeScript on the frontend
- Experience working with relational databases at scale (MySQL, Spanner, or similar)
- A track record of leading technical decisions across multiple teams by building relationships, gaining alignment, and influencing without direct authority
- Strong communication skills: you can explain technical decisions clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike
