About the role
LTK is seeking a Staff Engineer to strengthen the technical leadership of the Brand team.

You will partner with product, design, data, and platform teams to solve high-impact problems and ensure the platform can reliably support evolving business needs.
As a senior technical leader, you will bring clarity to ambiguous initiatives; establish durable patterns across teams; and maintain the overall health of the Brand platform.

- Define and evolve architecture for complex, cross-team product and platform initiatives.
- Lead the technical strategy, decomposition, and execution of critical projects from discovery through delivery.
- Partner with product, design, data, and platform teams to align technical decisions with customer, platform-health, and business outcomes.
- Establish scalable patterns, APIs, and system boundaries that enable teams to move quickly while improving reliability and maintainability.
- Identify and reduce technical risks, dependencies, and sources of operational complexity before they become delivery constraints.
- Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, technical coaching, and mentorship of engineers and emerging technical leaders.
- Maintain overall platform health by strengthening observability, quality practices, operational readiness, and cross-team execution.
- Translate ambiguous business needs into clear technical direction, practical milestones, and durable solutions.

- Experience leading high-impact initiatives that require coordination across engineering, product, design, data, and platform partners.
- A track record of turning ambiguous product and business problems into clear technical strategies and executable plans.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders without direct authority.
- A coaching mindset and demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and grow technical leadership across teams.
- Commitment to engineering excellence, including quality, operational ownership, observability, and continuous improvement.
- A mindset focused on seizing opportunities and moving with urgency
