Description For Senior Engineer

Stash is revolutionizing the gaming industry by providing a platform that enables game developers to bypass traditional intermediaries like app stores and consoles, which typically charge 30% commissions. Founded by Justin Kan (Twitch co-founder), Robin Chan (Zynga executive), and Dan Borstelmann (Google engineer), Stash offers a comprehensive suite of tools including web shops, custom game launchers, and payment processing.

We're seeking an experienced engineer who will go beyond technical contributions to become a facilitator of success for the entire engineering team. The ideal candidate will combine technical expertise with exceptional communication and leadership skills. This role isn't about being the best individual contributor - it's about leveraging humility, emotional intelligence, and strong communication to enhance team productivity.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Working closely with product and design teams to shape technical direction
  • Ensuring accountability and execution across engineering initiatives
  • Managing technical debt and infrastructure monitoring
  • Maintaining 24/7 response capability for payments infrastructure
  • Scaling both the engineering team and codebase efficiently

The role demands someone who can balance technical leadership with team enablement, focusing on creating an environment where talented engineers can thrive. You'll be responsible for both hands-on development and strategic technical planning, ensuring Stash's engineering organization maintains its high standards while scaling effectively.

This is an opportunity to join a company that's transforming how game developers interact with their players, backed by industry veterans who understand both technical excellence and business success. If you're passionate about gaming, technical leadership, and building scalable systems, this role offers the chance to make a significant impact in a rapidly growing space.
