Job Overview

The Staff Software Engineer at Macy's Technology identifies and drives architectural and platform engineering enhancements in line with guiding a long-term technical vision, and is responsible for implementing that vision through enterprise-wide projects by collaborating with development and business teams.

Staff Software Engineers develop, promote and govern architecture principles and strategies, software engineering best practices, champion NFRs, improve the development ecosystem, and are ultimately responsible for the delivery of transformational initiatives.

They identify and drive architectural changes to accelerate feature development or improve the quality of service (or both). They have deep and broad engineering skills and are capable of standing up an architecture in its whole on their own, but choose to influence a wider team by acting as a "force multiplier".

They work closely with Technical Leads, Architects, other Software Engineers and Management in a highly collaborative environment. Staff Software Engineers mentor other engineers in the group to be successful in their jobs.
