We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to set the technical strategy for the Modeling Platform team, which owns and evolves this universal computation engine as a single unified service. This is a strategic technical leadership role with multi-year scope. You’ll evolve an established computation platform into a distributed architecture that scales from tens of millions to billions of records with real-time performance and deterministic accuracy. You’ll make high-stakes technical decisions – horizontal scaling strategies, materialization approaches, storage engine tradeoffs – and be responsible for choices that affect product teams across the organization. As the technical anchor on the Modeling Platform team, you’ll be a force multiplier who makes the entire team and broader engineering organization better – through design leadership, mentorship, and raising the engineering bar. You’ll lead by influence across organizational boundaries, driving alignment between consuming product teams and the platform. You’ll invest deeply in coaching and developing engineers toward senior and staff-level impact.Job Location The candidate selected for this opportunity must reside near one of the following locations:Hybrid (in-office 3 days per week)Austin, TXRemoteRaleigh, NCNashville, TNToronto, CanadaResponsibilitiesSet the multi-year technical strategy for the modeling platform, partnering with senior EPD leadership on long-term visionArchitect distributed computation systems that scale horizontally with predictable SLAs, evolving from single-node to partitioned, parallel execution at enterprise scaleOwn technical decisions with organization-wide impact where the right answer is ambiguous or contestedDrive operational excellence for mission-critical financial workloads: reliability, observability, graceful degradation, cost efficiency, and incident responseDesign platform APIs and SDKs consumed by multiple product teams, ensuring consistent behavior, strong contracts, and rapid feature adoptionBe a force multiplier — elevate engineering capabilities across teams through design leadership, code review standards, architectural mentorship, and knowledge sharing that scales beyond your own direct contributionsInvest deeply in coaching engineers, helping them grow in scope and develop toward senior and staff-level impactRequirements8+ years of professional software engineering experience with progression into staff-level technical leadershipDeep expertise in distributed systems and data-intensive architectures at scaleTrack record of operational excellence for mission-critical production systemsDemonstrated force multiplier — elevates teams through mentorship, design leadership, and raising the technical barAbility to set technical strategy across teams and make high-stakes decisions under ambiguityBonusExperience with Go and/or Python for backend systemsFamiliarity with columnar data formats (Apache Arrow, Parquet) and OLAP storage engines (ClickHouse, DuckDB, or similar)Experience evolving monolithic systems into distributed architectures (partitioning, coordination, fault tolerance)Background in computation engines, formula evaluation systems, spreadsheet engines, or financial modeling platformsExperience with materialization strategies, caching architectures, or change-data-capture systemsExperience designing platform SDKs or APIs consumed by multiple product teamsExperience building and scaling internal platforms or developer experience infrastructureExperience partnering with senior leadership to align technical direction with business objectivesExperience at a B2B SaaS company during periods of significant growth or platform expansionFamiliarity with sales performance management, incentive compensation, or adjacent enterprise domainsBenefitsComprehensive Healthcare: 100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision for all FTEs, with roughly 75% coverage for dependentsFlexible Time Off: Flexible vacation days plus quarterly mental health days to ensure you have the space to rechargeAnnual Stipends: Dedicated funds for your professional development and caretaking needsWork Anniversary Bonuses: Annual bonuses to celebrate your milestones and contributions to the CaptivateIQ team that grow as your tenure doesRetirement Savings (US-Only): A 401(k) plan to help you invest in and secure your futurePremium Tools: The latest Apple hardware to empower you to do your best workInclusive Community: Active Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that celebrate shared identities and support our DEI goals by fostering an environment where diverse talent thrivesNotice to Prospective CandidatesOnly emails from @captivateiq.com should be trustedWe are aware of active recruitment scams using the CaptivateIQ name, in which individuals pose as our recruiters and post fake remote job openings and make fake job offers on the Internet.
