Staff Engineer

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.

Preferred Technical Skills (First Preference)

Frontend (UI)

• React / JavaScript

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.
