The role

Summary

Sr. Staff Engineer at Hims & Hers leading architectural innovation and strategic technical direction for the leading digital health platform. You'll operate at the organizational level, shaping the long-term technical landscape for customer-facing frontend systems, enabling cross-functional execution at scale, and aligning engineering efforts with product and business outcomes. This role requires 12+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated group-level technical leadership, proficiency in React, Next.js, GraphQL, and full-stack capabilities in Node.js and Python.

What you'll do

Architectural Vision & Strategic Direction: Define and evolve the architectural vision for customer-facing frontend systems in alignment with business strategy. Lead cross-organizational initiatives addressing long-term scale, system boundaries, and foundational UI capabilities including design systems, rendering architecture, and component library infrastructure. Establish technical standards that support sustainable growth while enabling teams to innovate rapidly.
Frontend Performance & User Experience Excellence: Drive excellence across engineering for fast, accessible, and polished web experiences reflecting the Hims & Hers brand. Champion UI performance optimization, web accessibility standards (WCAG compliance), responsive design patterns, and observability. Ensure all frontend solutions deliver measurable improvements in Core Web Vitals, time-to-interactive, and user satisfaction metrics.
Technical Leadership & Engineering Governance: Establish patterns, frameworks, and best practices that ensure code quality, system resilience, and operational excellence across the engineering organization. Serve as the technical authority on frontend design decisions, raise the bar for engineering standards, and foster cross-team alignment. Ensure all solutions are robust, testable, observable, maintainable, secure, and scalable.
Organization-Wide Enablement & Infrastructure Development: Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to shape product direction and ensure architecture supports strategic goals. Create shared architectural patterns, tools, and frontend infrastructure that improve engineering efficiency and velocity. Drive organization-wide adoption of scalable development practices, establish shared component libraries, and build developer tooling that removes friction.
Mentorship, Talent Development & Culture Building: Mentor senior technical leaders and engineers to elevate engineering capabilities across the organization. Champion initiatives fostering talent density, engineering rigor, and continuous learning culture. Participate in product discovery sessions assessing technical feasibility, exploring user needs, validating ideas through prototypes and experiments, and transferring knowledge.
Strategic Execution & Ambiguity Navigation: Lead through complexity and ambiguity by clarifying technical direction when ownership is unclear. Remove organizational blockers, simplify decision-making processes, and accelerate delivery of strategic initiatives. Lead cross-team projects from inception through execution, coordinating stakeholders, managing technical risk, and ensuring delivery against key success metrics.
Customer-Centric Technical Solutions: Translate customer needs and product goals into scalable technical solutions that drive business outcomes. Analyze performance metrics and user feedback to inform technical direction and product enhancements. Define principles and patterns embedding customer obsession into platform architecture while maintaining system sustainability.
System Sustainability & Scalability Design: Design systems and team boundaries supporting sustainable growth at scale. Drive early investment in non-functional priorities including observability, database migrations, reliability improvements, and technical debt management. Proactively identify systemic risks and lead design and implementation of resilient, observable, and scalable solutions.
