Stash, founded by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan, Zynga executive Robin Chan, and Google engineer Dan Borstelmann, is revolutionizing the gaming industry by enabling game developers to directly connect with their players. The platform provides tools for direct sales, custom game launchers, and payment processing, eliminating the traditional 30% platform commissions.
As a Senior Engineer at Stash, you'll play a crucial dual role: technical expert and team facilitator. The position requires someone who can not only excel in technical implementation but also elevate the entire engineering team's performance. The ideal candidate will possess strong communication skills, humility, and emotional intelligence to work effectively with highly capable engineers already on the team.
Leadership in this role isn't about technical superiority - it's about communication and organizational skills. You'll collaborate with product and design teams to shape the engineering roadmap while ensuring accountability in execution. Key responsibilities include managing tech debt, monitoring infrastructure, maintaining 24/7 payments system reliability, and ensuring smooth project management as the company scales.
The role offers an opportunity to work with cutting-edge gaming technology while building scalable solutions that directly impact game developers and players. You'll be part of a team that values autonomy, accountability, and technical excellence, working to reshape how games interact with their players.
