As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll provide technical leadership, raise engineering standards, and help teams build secure, scalable SaaS products that leverage AI. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role that combines direct implementation with broad technical leadership, often spanning teams or high-complexity domains.

You'll guide architecture, influence delivery across multiple teams, and help the engineering organization solve complex platform and product challenges with a strong focus on quality and resilience.

Key Responsibilities

Partner closely with Product, Security, DevOps, and engineering leaders to align technical roadmaps with business priorities

Own open-ended technical problems, define both the what and the how, and help teams make sound tradeoffs through ambiguity

Establish and promote best practices for AI governance, observability, privacy, and operational controls within engineering workflows and production systems

Mentor engineers across teams, support hiring and onboarding, and raise the bar on delivery quality and the practical use of AI

Evaluate emerging technologies, frameworks, and tooling to improve developer productivity, system performance, and cost efficiency

Continuously reduce system and operational complexity by simplifying architectures, clarifying boundaries, and removing unnecessary technical friction for teams

Required Experience and Skills

7+ years of software development experience

Strong software design and coding fundamentals, primarily in TypeScript, with Python experience also relevant

Significant experience building on AWS, with service ownership across the software lifecycle

Background in cloud-native platform engineering, including infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, observability, and security best practices

Meaningful experience with applied AI and agentic solutions, including model capabilities and tradeoffs, tool orchestration, retrieval-augmented patterns, responsible AI considerations, and cost-aware design

Comfortable communicating complex technical and AI-related concepts to diverse stakeholders

Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience
