Staff Engineer

Own the technical direction for Gallup's growth stack.
As a staff engineer focused on growth, you'll be the technical leader driving our top-of-funnel strategy, from first touch to signed contract. This is a hands-on, high-impact role with significant influence as you deliver scalable, high-performance systems that transform first impressions into loyal Gallup customers.

What You'll Do

• Architect and implement end-to-end systems that drive growth initiatives, including acquisition, sales enablement, personalization and ecommerce
• Translate product vision into technical strategy and lead roadmap execution, working closely with product, design and analytics partners in the Product Operating Model
• Promote engineering excellence by mentoring senior engineers and advancing best practices in system design, implementation, testing and documentation
• Explore and deploy emerging technologies — such as generative AI, A/B testing frameworks and personalization engines — while staying current with trends in AI, analytics, event-driven architecture and growth engineering
• Contribute to data governance by advocating for privacy, integrity and accessibility in how behavioral and funnel data are tracked, stored and used

What Makes You Stand Out

• Strategic systems thinker: You connect engineering decisions to company strategy and user experience, thriving in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities.
• Growth engineering depth: You've built and scaled systems that support experimentation, funnel optimization, sales workflows and behavioral analytics.
• Hands-on innovation: You've implemented generative AI, search, recommendation or personalization engines in production environments to drive self-serve adoption, in-product engagement and product-led growth.
• Startup or scale-up experience: You've helped early-stage or evolving teams make sound architectural decisions and moved an architecture from older to more modern systems.
• Mentorship and influence: You are passionate about mentoring, leading by example, and communicating to align teams, build trust and drive high-quality execution.

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience, required
• At least seven years of software engineering experience required
• At least three years leading architecture conversations and technical strategy for complex systems — particularly in growth, personalization or experimentation domains — required
• Experience building a system for sales and marketing for a software or services company required
• Proven expertise building and running event-driven systems and distributed architectures on cloud platforms required; AWS is a plus
• Proven expertise with modern web frameworks and data platforms supporting both real-time and batch pipelines required
• Proficiency in .NET preferred
• Familiarity with Aurora MySQL preferred
• Must live within a 60-mile radius of San Francisco
• A commitment to working on-site at a local Gallup workspace in San Francisco at least three days a week required

What You'll Experience

• Mission-driven work: Make a meaningful difference in the world with your unique contributions, commitment to service and exceptional outcomes.
• An empowering culture: Collaborate with smart, passionate people who love what they do and welcome your ideas, perspectives and experiences.
• Learning and development: Grow in your career as we invest in what you do best, encourage curiosity and create an environment where it's safe — and expected — to challenge the status quo.
• Brand strength, startup energy: Thrive in an innovative environment backed by a trusted brand.
