Whom are we looking for – Staff Software Engineer
Location: Poland (Remote), Kraków preferred
Brief company and team description
The Data Platform team owns the data infrastructure that makes the company work – connecting its platform to the HRIS, EMS, ATS, and partner systems that power our customers’ compensation workflows. Without reliable, high-quality integrations, none of company’s products can deliver their full value. This is a high-leverage role at the core of company’s platform strategy. This is also a rare opportunity to join as a founding engineer on the team – meaning you won’t just be executing on a defined roadmap, but actively shaping how the platform evolves, what gets prioritized, and what engineering culture looks like from day one. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will set the technical direction for how company builds, scales, and operates its integrations infrastructure. You’ll have a direct line from your architectural decisions to product capabilities and customer outcomes.
Why is it worth joining this company?
- Founding Engineer Opportunity — You’re not inheriting someone else’s code or culture. You help define the technical architecture, engineering patterns, and quality standards the team will build on as it scales.
- Full-Cycle Product Ownership — Kraków is a standalone business unit dealing with real product problems end-to-end, not just feature delivery.
- Meaningful AI Work — Build compensation intelligence features powered by ML predictions and AI agents that surface pay risks before they become retention problems.
- No Micromanagement — The leadership philosophy is built on trust, autonomy, and accountability. Proactive, self-sufficient engineers thrive here.
- Enterprise-Scale Impact — Your work will serve organizations with 150,000+ employees, including globally recognized companies across tech, retail, and finance.
- Democratic, Growth-Oriented Culture — Leadership is genuinely invested in developing the team. Decisions are made collaboratively, and growth is realistic — not a checkbox.
Staff Software Engineer – Key Responsibilities
- Design and build new HRIS, EMS, ATS, and partner integrations, with a focus on enterprise-grade systems like Workday, BambooHR, and ADP
- Own integrations end-to-end – from connector design and data mapping through testing, rollout, and ongoing reliability
- Build and improve observability tooling – monitoring, alerting, and debugging infrastructure that gives the team and customers confidence in pipeline health
- Partner closely with product and go-to-market to prioritize connector coverage and unblock key deals
- Identify and address systemic reliability and scalability issues in company’s data platform
Staff Software Engineer – Main requirements
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping production-grade software, with meaningful exposure to integrations, data pipelines, or API platforms
- Experience with our tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, React, GCP
- Strong understanding of integration patterns, API design, and the operational challenges of third-party data dependencies
- Experience working on enterprise B2B products and an understanding of the reliability and data quality standards they require
- Ability to lead technical projects with ambiguity — third-party APIs are rarely well-documented and requirements shift
- Execution oriented — eager to not only design solutions but dive into implementation and see them through to a reliable, monitored production state
- Strong upper-Intermediate level of English or higher. You’ll collaborate with teams in San Francisco and New York; quick, efficient async communication matters
Staff Software Engineer – What is in it for you?
- Competitive B2B contract: 35,500 – 42,000 PLN net/month
- Benefits budget: 1,400 PLN/month on B2B – yours to allocate freely across private healthcare, MultiSport, wellness, education, retirement contributions, life & disability insurance
- Unlimited vacations + flexible sick leave – no one’s counting days
- Equity package!
- Work from anywhere for a full month each year
- Top-of-the-line hardware from day one
- Real influence – not just of code, but of direction, architecture, and culture
The Next Step for you:
