Posted on Mar 13, 2026
At AgencyAnalytics, our Staff Developers are T-shaped: you operate broadly across multiple technical domains but also dive deep into specific problem areas when needed. You're part strategist, part builder, part mentor, and you’re just as comfortable writing production code as you are setting architectural direction.
As a Staff Developer, you can expect to be brought into initiatives at the strategy and discovery phases to ideate on what’s possible. You’ll experiment and drive new changes to existing system architectures. You’ll be a coach and mentor to our engineering team. You’ll set the operating rhythm to balance high efficiency with high quality, along with other Staff Developers and technical leaders.
