Staff Software Engineer

Description:

Who We Are 

At Cross River, we're building the financial infrastructure that powers global innovation. With our cutting-edge suite of embedded payments, cards, and lending solutions, we enable millions of businesses and consumers to transact seamlessly and securely. 

With 900+ employees worldwide and an R&D center of over 160 employees in Jerusalem - we’re reshaping how financial technology is developed and delivered. 

Staff Software Engineer is our most senior individual-contributor role. You report to a VP of Engineering and act as the technical force multiplier across the several teams that VP owns through their Engineering Managers. Engineering Managers own people and delivery. You own the technical bar.

You turn strategy into architecture, make the hard design and build-versus-buy calls, and keep decisions coherent across every team under the VP. You work in three modes: lead technical direction, help unblock and grow teams, and build the highest-risk pieces yourself. Hands-on. Not a manager. Your leverage is architecture, code, and the engineers you make better.
