As a Staff Software Engineer at Apollo, you'll be responsible for leading the technical direction and execution of complex, high-impact initiatives that span teams and systems. Your influence will extend beyond your immediate team—shaping architectural decisions, elevating engineering practices, and mentoring future leaders.

Responsibilities:

  • Architect and build scalable, high-availability systems that run 24/7 and support mission-critical workflows
  • Own and deliver multi-tier, high-volume applications with performance, accessibility, and resilience in mind
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code with a strong focus on developer experience and system performance
  • Drive and uphold engineering best practices, including code reviews, test coverage, monitoring, and observability
  • Provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams, guiding architecture, trade-offs, and execution
  • Mentor and sponsor engineers to grow their impact and deepen the engineering culture
  • Lead large-scale, cross-team projects from concept to production
  • Deliver clear, objective feedback to peers and junior engineers through structured reviews and 1:1s

Outcomes You'll Drive:

  • Customer Impact: Deep understanding of product metrics and direct contribution to measurable improvements through agile iteration
  • Technical Leadership: Lead complex projects, own key systems, and define roadmaps in collaboration with managers and PMs
  • Velocity: Demonstrate consistent output and high impact—even within challenging, legacy, or high-complexity codebases
  • Engineering Quality: Set the standard for code quality and technical excellence on your team
  • Cross-Team Communication: Achieve alignment across squads and stakeholders through effective communication
  • Platform Resilience: Build scalable, monitored, and self-healing systems with best-in-class availability

Requirements:

  • 10 years of deep experience building and scaling backend systems in production environments
  • Proven ability to develop features with performance, reliability, and scalability in mind
  • Strong product intuition—able to balance technical scope with MVP delivery
  • Expertise with message queues, background jobs, and distributed system patterns
  • Familiarity with observability tools like GCP Logging, Prometheus, or NewRelic
  • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools (e.g., for code generation, debugging, automation) and stay current with emerging AI trends
  • Experience with LLM architecture, pipelines, or applied AI tooling is a strong bonus

Nice to Have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Proficiency in one or more general-purpose programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, Ruby, Go)
  • Experience integrating with third-party APIs—including handling rate limits, failure cases, and retries gracefully
