This is a hands-on and strategic role where you will architect complex systems, mentor other Staff Engineers and Technical Leads, and champion technical innovation across the company.

• Collaborate closely with Product, Data, and Design teams to translate business goals into technically feasible and scalable solutions.
• Drive consensus and alignment on key architectural trade-offs across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Lead post-incident reviews and proactively drive initiatives that improve system reliability and developer productivity.

• Promote a culture of continuous innovation, experimentation, and learning within engineering.
• Represent Hiver’s engineering excellence in external forums, conferences, and open-source communities.
