About the role
Remote: yes Posted: 2026-06-05
Hi there :)
Thanks for checking in to find out about our open position. We´ll provide as much information as possible, but please feel free to reach us if you have further questions. We´ll be happy to see your application, even if there are skills you don't quite master!
We strive to create an inspiring and growth-oriented environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered. We promote both personal and professional development, with individualized support for your needs and concerns. We aim to build a space where everyone can thrive.
We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who operates with urgency and a "multiplier" mindset. This is an AI-native role: you should have fundamentally evolved your development workflow using LLMs and AI agents. The ideal candidate uses AI to bypass manual boilerplate, accelerate debugging, and ship clean, simple functionality at a pace traditional methods can't match. You'll be one level below Principal, but the expectations for technical leadership and architectural influence are high.
What you would do
- Partner with product, exec leadership, design, sales, and marketing to build the right things, as simply as possible
- Champion AI development practices and mentor the engineering org on using AI to increase sprint velocity and code quality
- Build and run systems that operate robustly at scale with the highest level of security
- Work with leadership to build a unified technical direction and a culture of excellence and speed
- Review PRs and design the future architecture of systems, including the evolution of legacy monolithic architecture toward a modern stack
WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE
- Mastery of large-scale services using Ruby, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and PHP
- Deep knowledge of distributed systems, relational databases (MySQL/Postgres), and AWS infrastructure (Aurora, RDS, SQS)
- AI-native workflow: you treat AI (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) as your primary partner in the development lifecycle — using it to bypass boilerplate and focus on deep architectural work
- Ability to represent the engineering team in high-stakes discussions with non-technical stakeholders
