Staff Full-Stack Engineer, Integrations Engineering

Are you excited to design and build platform capabilities that make complex integrations scalable, reliable, and effortless to operate? Do you enjoy turning ambiguous technical and operational challenges into intuitive customer-facing experiences, powerful internal tools, and durable architectural solutions? Are you energized by influencing technical strategy, mentoring engineers, and shaping how APIs, workflows, observability, and platform services come together across a modern SaaS ecosystem? If so, we invite you to be a part of our innovative team.

As a Staff Full-Stack Engineer at Ridgeline, you’ll help define and deliver the next generation of our integrations platform, building solutions that power customer onboarding, operational efficiency, observability, and data connectivity across the investment management ecosystem.

Our team of engineers are building with cutting-edge technologies—like Claude Code and Cursor—in a fast-moving, creative, progressive work environment.

At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture.If this excites you, we’d love to meet you!

• Build scalable, maintainable services and user experiences that reduce one-off work and improve customer onboarding and supportability.
• Make integration health easier to understand and act on through clearer status models, richer process views, actionable logs and alerts, and streamlined troubleshooting workflows.
• Lead technical discovery for ambiguous initiatives and translate open-ended product or operational needs into concrete architecture and implementation plans.
• Set a high bar for code quality, testing, operational readiness, documentation, and long-term maintainability.
• Mentor and support engineers across the team through design reviews, code reviews, technical guidance, and thoughtful delegation, including modeling effective and responsible AI-assisted engineering practices.

• Experience designing APIs, services, workflows, and user-facing product experiences.
• Comfort working with ambiguous requirements and shaping them into executable plans.
• Strong communication skills, especially with cross-functional partners and adjacent engineering teams.
• A track record of leading complex technical work without needing heavy direction.
• Strong ownership instincts, including following work through deployment, production support, and iteration.
• Curiosity and judgment in using AI-assisted development tools to increase leverage while maintaining accountability for the final product.
• The ability to mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar of the team.
