About the role

  • Staff Engineer shaping internal systems and integrations at Makeship. Collaborate to enhance processes and deliver technical solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full lifecycle of internal systems projects from identifying the need, to gathering requirements and scoping through architecture, build, and delivery
  • Define and maintain a systems roadmap that reflects business priorities and drives meaningful impact across the organization
  • Identify systemic problems across our tools and workflows and propose architectural changes that improve reliability and scalability
  • Design and build integrations that connect our internal and third-party platforms (Shopify, HubSpot, Airtable, and others), managing data flow reliably and predictably
  • Develop and maintain automations that reduce manual effort across business workflows, from data integration to operational oversight
  • Evaluate build vs. buy decisions pragmatically, choosing what is most effective for both short and long-term impact
  • Write clean, maintainable code and make architectural decisions that balance business needs with technical sustainability
  • Define and evolve the standards for how internal systems and integrations are built, tested, and maintained across the organization
  • Build and maintain monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards so that teams have clear visibility into system health
  • Proactively identify risks before they become incidents and own troubleshooting and follow-up improvements when they do
  • Set the direction for engineering best practices across your work: automated testing, version control, documentation, and security
  • Work directly with stakeholders across operations, sales, marketing, and beyond to understand workflow needs, pain points, and priorities
  • Translate ambiguous business requirements and pain points into clear, scoped technical plans and communicate trade-offs in plain language
  • Help non-technical stakeholders understand the longer-term implications of technical decisions, not just immediate solutions
  • Proactively keep stakeholders informed on project status, timelines, and blockers throughout the project
  • Document architecture decisions, integration patterns, and operational procedures thoroughly so systems are maintainable
  • Maintain clear documentation of system configurations, integration setups, and transition procedures to ensure stability and continuity
  • Drive technical standards and best practices, ensuring the work you ship sets a strong foundation for the organization

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software development experience building integrations, internal tools, automation systems, or SaaS products
  • A proven track record of owning technical projects end-to-end from discovery and requirements through architecture, build, and production delivery
  • Experience defining technical direction and making architectural decisions that balance pragmatic delivery with long-term technical health
  • Hands-on experience with API integrations (REST, webhooks) and proficiency in modern programming languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Go)
  • Strong engineering fundamentals with a collaborative approach to development: writing reliable, well-tested code and thinking proactively about observability, error handling, and maintainability
  • Comfortable owning the operational health of the systems you build, including stability, configuration management, and production reliability
  • A strong communicator who can work directly with non-technical stakeholders, navigate ambiguity, and influence technical direction across the organization without formal authority

Benefits

  • Health and dental benefits from day 1
  • 4 weeks of paid vacation (including paid time off on your birthday)
  • Additional 1 week of paid time off during the holidays
  • Virtual & In-Person Social Events
  • Annual Paid Volunteer Day Off
