About the role
ABOUT THRIVE MARKET
Thrive Market was founded in 2014 with a mission to make healthy and sustainable living easy and affordable for everyone. As an online, membership-based market, we deliver the highest quality healthy, and sustainable products at member-only prices, while matching every paid membership with a free one for someone in need. Every day, we leverage innovative technology and member-first thinking to help our over 1,700,000+ members find better products, support better brands, and build a better world in the process. We are also a Certified B Corporation, a Public Benefit Corporation, and a Climate Neutral Certified company.
Join us as we bring healthy and sustainable living to millions of Americans in the years to come.
The Role
We are not looking for a programmer or a language specialist. We are looking for an engineer, someone with strong CS fundamentals, great object-oriented design, great relational data modeling, and a systems mindset. Someone who reaches for architecture, patterns, and platforms before reaching for syntax, and who picks the right tool for the job rather than the one they already know.
At Staff, that means leverage. You bring the ideas to the table instead of waiting for them. You set the technical bar and raise the people around you to it. You organize ambiguous problems into a plan and drive them to done. You win people over with clear diagrams, written proposals, and data, not seniority.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Set technical direction for Member Growth's systems. Own the architecture and its evolution across pods, not just your own.
Find the highest-leverage problems and opportunities in the funnel, the platform, and our ways of working, and put them on the roadmap with a proposal.
Write the proposals. Tech designs and RFCs with architecture diagrams, options, tradeoffs, and a clear recommendation. Make hard decisions easy to understand and easy to make.
Make system-level calls on when to introduce eventing (Kafka, SQS), workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow, DAGs), caching, async pipelines, or new services, and when not to.
Design for horizontal scale and low, uniform latency under real Thrive traffic patterns.
Decompose existing services into scalable components where it materially helps. Plan the migration path, not just the end state.
Work cross-team and cross-function. Partner with Frontend Core, Backend Core, Data, and other product teams to align on shared systems, boundaries, and contracts. Represent Member Growth in technical decisions that affect us.
Take a fuzzy, multi-team problem, break it into a plan with clear owners, and see it through. Unblock others.
Build consensus with engineers, Product, and leadership. Disagree clearly. Commit fully.
Tie engineering decisions to outcomes. Instrument what you build. Defend what you ship with data.
Test-driven from the start. Quality, reliability, and observability are first-class, not afterthoughts.
Bring Product and Design options and a recommendation, not a single path.
Define what good looks like in design, code, and operations. Mentor, review, challenge, elevate. Grow the next seniors and staff.
Own the SLAs for the surfaces Member Growth runs and the standards that keep them healthy.
Multiply output with AI tooling, for yourself and the team.
