We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to serve as a senior technical leader on the Vantage platform. You will drive the design and delivery of complex, cross-cutting capabilities – spanning document AI pipelines, LLM integrations, compliance infrastructure, analytics, and platform extensibility. Beyond your own code, you will act as a technical multiplier: influencing architectural decisions, setting quality standards, and developing the engineers around you. This is a role for someone who leads through depth, judgment, and impact.
Job Responsibilities
Technical Leadership: Drive the technical design and delivery of significant Vantage platform capabilities, from architecture and API contracts through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
Quality & Standards: Define and uphold engineering standards for the Vantage codebase – covering code quality, service reliability, performance, security, and compliance – and drive their adoption across teams.
Strategic Collaboration: Act as a senior technical voice in cross-functional planning with product management, ML engineering, cloud architecture, and engineering leadership; translate business priorities into actionable technical roadmaps.
Platform Improvement: Lead initiatives to improve Vantage platform health at scale: service decomposition, observability, CI/CD maturity, and developer productivity.
Operational Excellence: Own high-severity incident response for Vantage cloud services; drive post-mortems and systemic reliability improvements.
Engineering Mentorship: Mentor Senior and Principal Engineers on the Vantage team; build a culture of technical rigor, shared ownership, and continuous learning.
Technical Innovation: Evaluate and champion adoption of new technologies – from GenAI model integrations to cloud-native tooling – that strengthen ABBYY's Document AI differentiation.
Job Requirements
More than 8 years of professional software engineering experience with deep expertise in C++
Demonstrated ability to work with multiple programming languages, and willingness to work with both C# .NET and C++
Strong command of microservices architecture, distributed system design, and cloud-native patterns at enterprise scale
Experience in cloud and Kubernetes, preferably using Microsoft Azure (AKS, Storage, Key Vault, Azure SQL or equivalent)
Proven experience designing, implementing, and operating CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, and deploying (preferably using GitHub Actions)
Experience leading technical design reviews and influencing architectural decisions across team and product boundaries
Desired Qualifications
Demonstrated ability to mentor Senior and Mid-level Engineers and partner with Engineering Managers on technical direction
Hands-on experience working with relational databases, including schema design, indexing, and query performance optimization
Hands-on experience designing and operating workflow-driven systems (orchestration, retries, timeouts, and state management)
Experience integrating Machine Learning, Neural Networks or LLMs into enterprise applications and workflows
Familiarity with OCR, NLP and computer vision technologies
Salary Range
The anticipated base salary range for this position is between 300,000 PLN and 336,000 PLN annually. Base salary ranges may vary by geographic location and relevant experience, education, certifications, and seniority compared to others performing substantially similar work. There is no guarantee that an offer will be at the top of the posted range, as compensation decisions are based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, skills, qualifications, and internal equity.
