Job description

About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer at Avra, you will act as a technical cornerstone for our engineering team—setting high standards for architecture, mentorship, and execution. Collaborating closely with founders and cross-functional leadership, you’ll lead the design of our scalable end-to-end platform, influencing the technical direction of our proprietary AI and data pipelines. This high-impact role sits at the crossroads of deep tech and strategic influence, ideal for a leader who makes a mark through both code and guidance.

 

Responsibilities

Platform Architecture & Leadership: Shape and advance the architecture of our full-stack platform, ensuring it remains scalable, maintainable, and strategically aligned.

 

Technical Vision: Work alongside founders and engineering leaders to establish organizational standards for system design, technology choices, and development practices.

 

Cloud Infrastructure at Scale: Design and manage complex components in our multi-cloud environment (AWS and GCP), prioritizing reliability, observability, and cost effectiveness.

 

Cross-Functional Influence: Serve as the technical link among data engineers, data scientists, ML researchers, and product teams, transforming complex requirements into robust, integrated solutions.

 

Engineering Excellence: Lead the implementation of CI/CD, define testing strategies, set code review standards, and establish performance benchmarks for all teams.

 

Mentorship & Growth: Guide senior and mid-level engineers through mentorship and technical reviews, actively contributing to organizational engineering growth.

 

You Stand Out If

  • You operate fluidly at both architectural and code levels—equally skilled at whiteboarding distributed systems and reviewing code.

  • You have expertise in modern front-end frameworks (React) and backend technologies (Go, Python, Rust) and have led teams deploying these technologies at scale.

  • You possess a strong history of successfully delivering complex, cross-team technical projects from conception to production.

  • You are experienced with cloud-native infrastructure, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and have strong opinions on best practices.

  • You lead with humility and clarity, exerting influence without authority and uplifting those around you.

  • You thrive on deep technological challenges and are driven by building systems that inform enterprise-scale decisions.

 

Qualifications

Experience: 8+ years in full stack software development, including at least 2 years in a staff-level or comparable technical leadership position.

 

Technical Depth: Mastery of modern web and back-end technologies, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), distributed systems architecture, and CI/CD practices.

 

Architecture Mindset: Proven ability to design scalable systems across team boundaries, large data volumes, and organizational complexity.

 

Leadership: Demonstrated track record of mentoring engineers, aligning teams on technical decisions, and contributing to a positive engineering culture.

 

Communication: Excellent communicator, able to explain complex technical ideas to both technical and non-technical team members in a remote, multicultural environment.

 

Why Join Avra?

Competitive Compensation: Attractive salary, equity options, and a fully transparent compensation policy.

 

Direct Impact: Collaborate directly with founders to define the technical future of a groundbreaking deep tech startup advancing AI-driven decision-making in Latin America.

 

Challenging Environment: Solve complex, impactful technical challenges and help build the resilient infrastructure that supports major enterprise decisions.

 

Flexible Work Culture: Enjoy a fully remote setup with optional office access in Sao Paulo, unlimited vacation, and comprehensive benefits including a national health plan and generous parental leave.

 
 

If you’re an experienced engineer eager to lead at the highest level and help redefine large-scale data intelligence, we want to meet you. Apply today to shape the future of Avra.
