About the role

We're looking for a Staff Engineer to join our Referrals team and help us build a unified Incentive Platform. The domain that tracks eligibility, entitlement, and fulfillment state for incentive rewards. Our team owns and operates this platform: the system of record for what a member is owed and when. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Domain modeling under legacy constraints - You've carved a bounded context out of a service with accreted responsibilities, without a rewrite, while it kept shipping
  • Production migration experience - You've run a dual-write/backfill/cutover on a real data model, ideally with financial or compliance stakes where getting it wrong is expensive
  • Staff-level leadership - You’ve set technical direction for a team, influenced cross-functional roadmaps, and made architectural decisions that have held up over time
  • Bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful time working on production systems at scale
  • Hands-on experience building and operating full-stack applications (for example, using React/React Native on the frontend and Node.js/TypeScript or similar on the backend)

This is a high-ownership, systems-first role within the team. You'll set technical direction for a platform that's mid-consolidation. Carving a clean domain boundary out of an existing service, closing known correctness gaps, and negotiating the contracts that other teams build against. You'll work closely with product and data science, and have a direct line to business outcomes like referral conversion and cost-per-acquisition.

Own the technical direction for the Incentive Platform. Carve a dedicated domain out of its current home, with enforced boundaries and a facade other services call instead of reaching into internals.

Generalize eligibility and entitlement logic into real, owned APIs, replacing duplicated caps and ad hoc scripts with a single source of truth for what a member has earned and is owed.

Run production data migrations. Dual-write, backfill, cutover on a system...
