SalaryA Staff Engineer at HelloFresh is an engineering leader. They work within a tribe to solve highly unique, ambiguous and complex problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices while understanding the appropriate trade-offs. A Staff Engineer thinks in terms of workflows, streams, business value, technology strategy, and domain architecture, not just code. They are generally proficient in a broad range of technologies and know when it is appropriate to use them (and when it is not).
We are looking for an experienced professional who is passionate about their craft, is creative at solving problems and not afraid to challenge the status quo. They have the ambition to challenge themselves and to develop themselves as well as others around them. They have a growth-mindset, are adaptable, with a strong track record of innovation, including solving engineering problems at scale.
