Job Description

• Partner with senior leadership to solve Murmuration's hardest and most ambiguous technical challenges. • Lead through influence and apply deep technical expertise and strong judgment; take a pragmatic, hands-on approach grounded in partner needs and real-world system behavior. • Bridge business strategy with technical execution to design and evolve how Murmuration builds software and supports partners. • Drive decisions across multiple teams by clarifying tradeoffs, identifying risks, and helping the organization move ahead even when the path is not fully certain. • Partner closely with engineering managers, tech leads, product, and design leaders to ensure technical plans align with user needs, reduce friction in delivering value, and support Murmuration’s long-term mission. • Shape Murmuration's long-term technical and leadership trajectory, elevate engineering effectiveness across teams, and impact the future of products, data, and systems that empower communities.

Job Requirements

  • 15+ years of professional software engineering experience, with sustained impact as a senior tech leader (Staff+, Principal, Architect, or equivalent)
  • Proven ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams without direct people management
  • Experience leading architectural evolution or transformation in established organizations, particularly at the intersection of technology and organizational structure
  • Strong architectural judgment across system design, scalability, reliability, and performance trade-offs
  • Experience establishing or evolving technical decision-making mechanisms (design reviews, architecture forums, decision records)
  • Track record of modeling high standards for technical design quality, documentation, and peer review
  • Executive-level communication skills, with experience representing senior IC perspectives in engineering leadership or executive forums.
  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, high-leverage problem spaces where influence matters more than authority
  • Strong systems thinking, end-to-end perspective, and architectural judgement, with a clear instinct for second-order effects (anticipating long-term, indirect consequences of technical and architectural decisions)
  • Exceptional communication skills, particularly in facilitating complex technical trade-offs among senior engineers and leaders
  • Effective engagement with exec stakeholders to translate engineering constraints, risks, and opportunities into product and business context, and ability to translate business priorities into technical strategy
  • Coaching mindset and a genuine desire to uplevel others via mentorship/sponsorship, design review, and lived example
  • Be like Ted Lasso: Believe. Build trust. Demonstrate: Kindness, empathy, optimism, curiosity, and vulnerability. Lift up the team
  • Bias toward action, focus on outcomes vs outputs, model "good enough" vs perfection, build durable solutions that improve how teams work not just what they ship
  • Ability to synthesize multi-faceted problems into strategic roadmaps, prioritize, estimate technical complexity, composition/timelines for milestones, identify gaps and glue with a mindset toward improving reliability, scalability, performance, cost-to-serve, development velocity, operational stability, and long-term sustainability
  • Ability and motivation to deeply understand customer needs, design patterns, and actual customer usage across systems to uplevel hand-offs between teams and delight users.

Benefits

  • Health, vision, and dental insurance with 100% of premiums covered for you and qualifying family members;
  • Retirement benefits with a 5% employer match;
  • A flexible unlimited PTO plan;
  • Generous paid parental leave;
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits;
  • A company laptop;
  • A flexible remote work environment;
  • A home office setup stipend for all new employees;
  • Monthly reimbursement for remote work expenses;
