About the Role

CaptivateIQ's modeling engine is the computation core that powers every product - turning business models into real-time, trustworthy calculations at enterprise scale. We're looking for a **Staff Software Engineer** to set the technical strategy for the Modeling Platform team, which owns and evolves this universal computation engine as a single unified service.

This is a strategic technical leadership role with multi-year scope. You'll evolve an established computation platform into a distributed architecture that scales from tens of millions to billions of records with real-time performance and deterministic accuracy. You'll make high-stakes technical decisions - horizontal scaling strategies, materialization approaches, storage engine tradeoffs - and be responsible for choices that affect product teams across the organization.

As the technical anchor on the Modeling Platform team, you'll be a force multiplier who makes the entire team and broader engineering organization better - through design leadership, mentorship, and raising the engineering bar. You'll lead by influence across organizational boundaries, driving alignment between consuming product teams and the platform. You'll invest deeply in coaching and developing engineers toward senior and staff-level impact.
