Staff Software Engineer

7+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building and owning production systems

Deep backend engineering ability, with enough breadth to work across the stack when required

Strong system design and architectural judgment

Ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments

High ownership and strong product judgment

An experimental, iterative mindset — you prototype, benchmark, automate, and continuously improve how you work

Comfortable learning unfamiliar technologies quickly rather than being defined by a specific stack

Strong interest in using AI-assisted development and modern engineering workflows to increase leverage

Experience at Staff, Principal, Architect, or equivalent level is a strong signal, but we care more about demonstrated ability than titles.

We’re a small team, which means strong engineers have real influence.

You’ll have meaningful ownership over the product, architecture, and engineering culture, with the freedom to challenge existing decisions and introduce better ways of building.

We offer competitive compensation, meaningful equity, remote flexibility, strong health benefits, and the tools you need to do your best work.

If you like difficult problems, high autonomy, broad technical ownership, and building with a very high engineering bar, we’d love to talk.

Share a short Loom/video highlighting your career, the most interesting things you’ve built, and why you believe you’d be a great fit for this role.
