What Would Make You Stand Out * Experience delivering AI-enabled product capabilities using both generative and non-generative models where outputs must be grounded, auditable, and human approved. * Experience designing evaluation frameworks and quality measurements for AI systems. * A track record of raising the engineering bar across multiple teams while remaining a hands-on technical leader. * Passion for solving complex systems problems and transforming them into elegant, dependable software. * A desire to help shape the future of AI-enabled enterprise implementations while continuing to grow your technical leadership. ## Description As a Staff Developer, you will set the technical direction for how we design and build these agentic systems. You will own a product area or platform surface end-to-end, frame the hardest system-level problems, and raise the bar for every engineer around you. You will help define the engineering foundations of an AI-native product from the ground up. This role is ideal for someone who already builds with AI every day, is energized by agentic systems and the challenges of making them reliable, and wants to solve ambiguous, high-impact problems across teams. You should be comfortable setting technical direction where the right answer is not yet known and the ground is still being mapped. If you are looking for well-scoped work, a mature and stable codebase, or a role where AI is a side interest rather than the core of the work, this is not that role. What You'll Get to Do * Set the technical direction for the Intelligent Implementation Workspace and its agentic architecture. * Design the orchestration, agent, and platform layers that turn customer intent into generated, verified configuration, tests, and data migration with human-in-the-loop control throughout. * Build production-ready agentic systems, including agent orchestration across multiple domain agents, harness engineering, and evaluation infrastructure that ensures model output is grounded, auditable, and production-ready. * Own the quality bar for agent output by designing evaluation frameworks and measurements that track accuracy, straight-through processing, override rates, and regressions. * Lead by delivering solutions where technical risk is highest and establish engineering standards through architecture, design, and code reviews. * Act as a force multiplier by leveraging modern AI tools to accelerate design, coding, testing, debugging, and engineering practices across the team. * Drive technical decisions that span services and teams while partnering with Product, Design, Machine Learning, Platform, and product engineering teams across Workforce Management, Payroll, Core HR, and Benefits. * Own the reliability and production readiness of your solutions, including observability, logging, monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. * Bring strong product judgment and make thoughtful technical trade-offs throughout delivery. ## Related Videos - [HR Tech and AI Trends and Where You Can Start](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1468-hr-tech-and-ai-trends-and-where-you-can-start) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [How Trust, Healthy Tension, and Sustainable Culture Shape the Future of Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1711-how-trust-healthy-tension-and-sustainable-culture-shape-the-future-of-work) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
