Staff Engineer

Location: Remote (with occasional onsite required)
Experience: 8 years

About the Role

Were looking for a Staff Engineer to help architect and build applications using an AI-first software development lifecycle.

This is a high-impact roleyoull shape technical direction establish patterns for agentic development and mentor teams on how to effectively collaborate with AI throughout the entire development process.

This isnt about bolting AI onto existing workflows. Youll help define how we build software when AI agents are first-class participants in design implementation and review.

What Youll Do

• Architect systems designed for AI-assisted development with high-performance backends in Go or Rust and TypeScript frontends

• Establish agentic development patterns using methodologies like BMAD (Breakthrough Method for Agile AI-Driven Development) and long-running agent loops

• Design and orchestrate multi-agent workflows where specialized AI personas collaborate across the SDLCfrom product definition through deployment

• Build tooling and infrastructure that enables effective human-AI collaboration at scale

• Influence technical strategy and help teams adopt AI-first practices without sacrificing code quality or maintainability

• Mentor engineers on when and how to leverage agentic patterns effectively

What Were Looking For

• 8 years of software engineering experience with demonstrated architectural impact

• Strong backend skills in Go or Rustyou understand performance-critical systems

• Production TypeScript experience for frontend development

• Hands-on experience with agentic development patternsyouve worked with AI coding assistants multi-agent orchestration or similar workflows (familiarity with BMAD or comparable frameworks preferred)

• Systems thinkingyou can design for long-running processes state management and failure recovery in agent-driven contexts

• Strong opinions loosely heldyoull shape direction but collaborate well when better ideas emerge

Nice to Have

• Experience building or contributing to AI/LLM tooling

• Background in developer experience or internal platform teams

• Contributions to open-source agentic frameworks

• Experience scaling AI-assisted workflows across engineering teams

Why This Role

Youll have significant influence over how we build software. This is a chance to define patterns at the intersection of AI capabilities and practical engineeringnot hype-driven experimentation but production-grade systems built with AI as a core collaborator.
