Staff Engineer (100% Remote within Poland)
Welcome to the good side of tech 👋
Docplanner at scale
And why should you join us?
The Role
What Success Looks Like in 6 Months
- There is a written, agreed technical direction for the Marketplace on the monorepo: which domains move next, in what order, and what "done" means for each. It includes a realistic plan for making the monorepo the source of truth for bookings. Teams use it to plan, not just to read.
- At least one core Marketplace capability, such as bookings, is exposed through a clear, versioned contract that another Docplanner product consumes in production. For example, patient-facing products know which visits a patient has had without calling into the monolith.
- The monolith is shrinking in a measurable way: fewer ad-hoc endpoints and proxy layers, and more domains where the monorepo is the source of truth. Shared domains such as insurances, services, calendar and addresses have a clear owner and a target home.
- You are personally shipping, with AI agents writing the code and you owning the design, review and quality. You set the bar for what AI-native engineering looks like in a large, real codebase.
- AI-assisted workflows for migration and integration work, such as generating contracts, tests and adapters, are proven in one team and being adopted by others.
The real indicator of success: teams across the portfolio come to you when they need Marketplace data or capabilities, and they leave with a contract they can build on, not a workaround.
Own the Technical Direction of the Marketplace
- Be accountable for the target architecture of the Marketplace across search, listings, doctors' profiles and the booking flow. Make sure search, doctors' profiles, listings and the booking flow fit together end to end on the new stack.
- Shape the monolith-to-monorepo migration: decide which domains move next, how to move them safely (strangler routing, anti-corruption layers, shadow traffic, staged source-of-truth flips) and when a domain truly counts as migrated. Q&A, already fully migrated, is the reference; the hard cases come next, such as doctor and integration booking flows with many callers and data strategies.
- Move domains from "thin proxy over the monolith" to "owned natively in the monorepo": data, business logic and persistence, not only the frontend. Profiles and listings, which already run on the new frontend, are the first candidates.
- Make the Marketplace easy to integrate with. Turn Marketplace capabilities into reusable building blocks for the whole Docplanner portfolio. Bookings, profiles and search should all be consumable through clear contracts.
Lead Through AI-Native Engineering
- Ship production changes in the Marketplace codebases by directing AI coding agents: prototype the riskiest parts of a migration or integration yourself, then hand teams a proven path.
- Drive AI-assisted development past where we are today, especially for migration work: understanding legacy code, generating contracts, adapters and tests, and keeping parity between old and new.
- Help make Marketplace capabilities usable by AI agents as well as people.
Multiply the Teams Around You
- Partner with Engineering Managers and Product Managers on planning and on unblocking cross-team work.
- Mentor senior engineers on architecture, system design and pragmatic decision-making.
- Contribute to Docplanner's Staff+ community of practice, sharing what works and keeping technical standards consistent across areas.
What We're Looking For
In a sentence: someone who can see the whole system, change it safely while it is running and make dozens of engineers faster along the way.
- You have led the technical direction across several teams, not just one, and teams followed because your decisions held up in production.
- You have taken a large legacy system apart while it kept serving real traffic. You know the strangler pattern, anti-corruption layers, data migration and dual-write pitfalls from experience, not from blog posts.
- You are strong in distributed systems and backend architecture, and comfortable in a polyglot environment.
- You bring solid hands-on experience using AI to accelerate software development, and good judgment on when to rely on it and when not to.
- You have moved from writing code by hand to directing AI agents that write it, and you can show how you keep design, correctness and security under control.
- You enjoy mentoring and raising the bar of the engineers around you.
- Fluent English
Bonus Points
- Experience with two-sided marketplaces, search and discovery, or booking and scheduling systems.
- Experience with monorepos at scale: build tooling, code ownership and shared platform conventions.
- You have exposed product capabilities to AI agents.
- Healthcare or another regulated domain, where data privacy and security shape the architecture.
We care more about how you think and the impact you drive than about the size of your previous company.
Let’s talk money
