Senior Staff Software Engineer- Remote (US Based)

Dispel builds secure, private network infrastructure for critical industries. The people who depend on our products need reliable, auditable, and secure access to sensitive systems, and the engineers who build those products need to understand that context deeply. At IC6, you are one of those engineers. As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will lead large-scale technical initiatives across software engineering, cloud infrastructure, networking, and secure systems. You’ll partner closely with engineering leadership to design, build, and evolve critical systems that directly impact customer reliability, security, and operational performance. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, networking, and on-premises virtualization. You will not only write high-quality software, but also understand the infrastructure it runs on, the network layers it communicates through, and the security requirements that make customers trust Dispel with sensitive operations. Your technical decisions should balance scalability, operational reliability, customer impact, and long-term maintainability. Engineering at Dispel is highly collaborative. Engineers who proactively solve problems, support teammates, and drive execution tend to thrive here. We move quickly, operate with high ownership, and value engineers who can navigate ambiguity while helping raise the technical bar of the organization. Requirements What You’ll Do: Technical Leadership & Architecture - Lead complex, cross-team technical initiatives from architecture and planning through implementation and delivery. - Drive technical decision-making for systems that span application, infrastructure, networking, and cloud environments. - Contribute to architectural direction, scalability planning, reliability improvements, and operational maturity across the platform. - Debug and resolve complex production and infrastructure issues across distributed systems. - Partner with engineering leadership to evolve development practices, testing strategies, deployment workflows, and operational standards. - Produce technical proposals, architecture documents, and implementation plans that align teams around execution. Mentorship & Collaboration - Mentor engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, system design discussions, and collaborative problem solving. - Help raise engineering quality through thoughtful feedback, documentation, and strong technical execution. - Collaborate closely with product, infrastructure, security, and operations teams to deliver reliable customer outcomes. - Communicate technical tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations clearly across engineering and cross-functional stakeholders. Qualifications - 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of leading complex technical projects involving multiple engineers. - Strong proficiency in software development across multiple languages and paradigms. - Comfortable using coding agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) as part of your daily workflow. - Solid understanding of network architecture including routing, switching, VPN protocols, DNS, and firewalls. - Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure cloud platforms. - Familiarity with cloud networking constructs such as VPCs, subnets, security groups, transit gateways, and private endpoints. - Experience working with distributed systems including databases, caches, queues, event-driven systems, and cloud infrastructure. - Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts and drive projects through ambiguity to delivery. - Experience creating technical designs, architecture proposals, and implementation documentation. Depending on Your Background, You May Have Strength In One Or More Areas: Full Stack - Proficient in TypeScript and modern web development. - Comfortable contributing across frontend and backend systems. Backend - Strong proficiency in Python, TypeScript, Go, or similar languages. - Experience building and maintaining complex, production-grade APIs and services. - Strong understanding of execution environments and infrastructure-aware application design. DevOps / Infrastructure - Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar) and CI/CD pipelines. - Familiarity with cloud-native deployment patterns and containerized environments. - DevEx experience is a plus. Networking - Experience designing or operating secure networking infrastructure, VPN systems, or remote access platforms. - Strong understanding of networking and security best practices. Bonus Points - Strong judgment around reliability, security, privacy, and operational resilience in production systems. - Experience working in regulated or security-sensitive environments. - Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, IEC 62443, or similar. - Previous startup or high-growth company experience.
