About the role
As a Staff Engineer, you’ll play a leading technical role across our Data & AI domains — agent workflows, close management, and data & network. You’ll design and build the foundational systems that power these products, working on high-impact, mission-critical services and helping set the technical bar for the team.
What you’ll do:
-
Own features end-to-end – Take ideas from early concept through production across agent workflows, close management, and data & network. You won’t just write code — you’ll ship real systems, iterate quickly, and see the impact of your work in production.
-
Think beyond the task – Take initiative, understand the broader system and business context, and help drive both product and technical decisions. This is not a ticket-driven role.
-
Leverage AI-accelerated development practices – Use modern AI coding tools to improve development velocity, code quality, and testing efficiency while building robust, secure, and scalable infrastructure.
-
Backend-focused, full-stack mindset – Your core focus will be backend systems across agent workflows, close management, and data & network, but you’re comfortable operating across APIs, data, infrastructure, and DevOps when needed.
-
Mentor and guide the team – Support and mentor engineers, and guide architectural decisions to raise the technical bar across the team.
-
Partner across stakeholders – Work closely with Product and Engineering Management to ensure alignment on mission, prioritization, and team focus. Be a focal point for engineering questions, bringing a business mindset and a clear understanding of our goals.
-
Design for scale – Build backend services that are reliable, maintainable, and architected to scale with the platform.
What you will bring
-
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong backend focus
-
Proven experience building or operating large-scale systems in fintech, AI-driven products, or high-volume data environments
-
Experience owning mission-critical systems where low latency, correctness, and high availability are essential
-
Proven track record of taking products and systems from 0 to 1, balancing speed, quality, and innovative problem-solving
-
Strong builder mindset with experience taking complex systems from idea to production and scaling them in production
-
Comfortable operating across the stack when needed, from APIs and business logic to infrastructure and deployment
-
Deep experience building and operating systems on GCP
-
Modern engineering mindset, leveraging automation and AI tools to increase impact and velocity
-
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively in small, senior teams
