Staff Software Engineer

We're looking for a Staff Engineer who's genuinely excited about owning something - not just contributing to it. You'll be a technical anchor for one of our core products, making architectural calls that matter six months from now, not just this sprint.

This is a hands-on role. You'll write code, not just review it.

What you will do

You'll set the technical bar - through your own code as much as your decisions. You'll design systems that span multiple components, produce design docs the broader team actually uses, and spot the debt hotspots before they become fires.

On the AI side: we're native by design. Cursor, Claude, the lot. You'll design agentic workflows (automated reviews, LLM-assisted QA) and contribute directly to AI-powered features - RAG, function calling, evaluation frameworks. You'll also help pick the tooling and set the patterns others follow.

Beyond the code, you'll own delivery across workstreams, manage cross-team dependencies, and translate between what engineering can do and what the business needs. You'll grow the people around you through coaching and hiring, not through process overhead.

What you will bring

• A track record of building complex systems from scratch - and being able to talk about the specific decisions you made and why
• High agency. You don't wait for a perfectly scoped ticket. You figure out what needs to happen and do it.
• Comfortable in ambiguity. We're a Series A - things move fast and change often
• Already using AI tools daily, and interested in pushing that further
• Strong educational foundation in CS or a related field

The stack: Node/TypeScript/GCP. No legacy code. Greenfield all the way.
