  • Produce clear technical documentation that supports future development and team onboarding.
  • Solve complex technical challenges across software, infrastructure, and networking with innovative solutions.
  • Choose development practices that produce robust, high-performing, and maintainable systems.
  • Proactively detect and correct issues in your work and in peer contributions before escalation.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across teams to define requirements and guide technical execution.

Compensation

Competitive salary and equity offered based on experience and qualifications.

Work Arrangement

Hybrid or remote work options available; some team coordination may require overlap with core hours.

Team

Collaborative engineering culture focused on ownership, operational excellence, and continuous learning.

Responsibilities

  • Design, scope, and deliver — from architecture through implementation and testing.
  • Scope and stage work into well-defined milestones to avoid monolithic deliverables, enabling frequent and predictable delivery.
  • Estimate projects, deliver on those estimates, and communicate risks when timelines shift.
  • Write code that is easy for other engineers to understand and reason about — clear, well-tested, and designed to last.
  • Create model documentation that others extend and reference.
  • Resolve a wide range of technical issues in creative ways, spanning software, infrastructure, and network layers.
  • Select methods and techniques that result in low-defect, high-performance software that is easy for the team to maintain and extend.
  • Identify problems and risks in your own and others' work, and address them before they compound.
  • Work with cross-team stakeholders to define requirements and ensure technical execution aligns with business objectives.
  • Own reliability, monitoring, logging, and instrumentation of the systems you build.
  • Ensure systems meet performance, scalability, and security requirements — particularly as they relate to network infrastructure and cloud environments.
  • Participate in incident response and root cause analysis.
  • Continuously improve system quality, automation, and operational maturity.
  • Communicate effectively across teams — you identify and surface requirements problems early, reducing rework and wasted effort.
  • Partner with product, security, and infrastructure teams to align technical decisions with company objectives.
  • Contribute to technical discussions that influence broader engineering direction.
  • Informally mentor IC1 and IC2 engineers on your team — through code review, pairing, and sharing technical context.
  • Participate in evaluation portions of interview loops to help Dispel hire well.

Visa sponsorship may be available for qualified candidates depending on role and location.
