Role Overview
We are looking for a Staff Engineer to drive the design and development of modern, AI-driven products. This role requires deep technical expertise, strong full-stack awareness with backend specialization (preferred), and hands-on experience building LLM-based agents or agentic AI systems.
As a senior individual contributor, you will lead complex technical initiatives, shape system architecture, and collaborate closely with engineering, product, and AI teams to build scalable, production-grade platforms. You will play a key role in solving challenging engineering problems while mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction across teams.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Architecture
- Lead the design and development of scalable, high-performance systems across frontend and backend platforms.
- Drive architecture decisions, system design, and technical strategy for critical product initiatives.
- Review designs and critical code paths to ensure high-quality engineering standards.
- Solve complex engineering problems and guide teams through technical challenges.
- Ensure systems are scalable, secure, reliable, and observable.
AI / Agentic Systems
- Design and build LLM-based agents or agentic AI systems powering modern product experiences.
- Work on agent orchestration, tool integration, context management, and evaluation frameworks.
- Contribute to building AI-driven features and platforms that operate reliably in production.
- Exposure to voice bots or conversational AI is a strong plus.
Hands-on Development & Execution
- Contribute directly to the codebase and lead development of critical components.
- Partner with Product Managers and engineers to translate product requirements into technical solutions.
- Drive delivery of high-impact technical initiatives and ensure engineering excellence in implementation.
- Proactively identify technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and scalability challenges.
Technical Mentorship & Collaboration
- Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance.
- Promote engineering best practices, strong design principles, and clean architecture.
- Collaborate across teams to ensure alignment on technical standards and long-term platform evolution.

Backend (Preferred)
- Java with Spring Boot
- Python with FastAPI
Candidates with strong experience in other frontend or backend technologies are also welcome; however, the above stack is strongly preferred.
Other Technical Skills
- Experience designing and scaling distributed systems and APIs.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP).
- Familiarity with CI/CD, DevOps practices, and observability tools.
- Exposure to AI/ML platforms, prompt engineering, or MLOps is a plus.
Core Competencies
- Strong problem-solving and system design skills.
- High ownership and accountability in driving technical outcomes.
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
- Passion for building products that users love and admire.
What We’re Looking For
- A highly skilled individual contributor who drives technical excellence and architectural direction.
- Someone excited about building ML, agentic AI, and AI-powered products at scale.
- An engineer comfortable working across platform, product, and AI domains to deliver impactful solutions.
