Job description

You’ll own solutions across the full stack-from browser rendering and API design to backend services and AI integrations. As a Staff Engineer, you’ll remain hands-on while leading architectural decisions, improving production reliability, establishing technical standards, and mentoring other engineers., * Architect and build AI-powered data products using React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Ruby on Rails.

  • Develop canvas-based interfaces for creating dashboards, reports, charts, and structured datasets.
  • Build integrations that allow AI agents to discover, interpret, and operate on enterprise data.
  • Improve computation and evaluation pipelines that run in both browser and server-side environments.
  • Own features across frontend rendering, APIs, backend services, data workflows, and AI integrations.
  • Improve production reliability through testing, monitoring, alerting, performance optimization, and incident response.
  • Lead architectural decisions and technical investments that improve scalability and maintainability.
  • Establish engineering standards and mentor developers through design reviews, code reviews, and hands-on collaboration.
  • Partner with product, design, data, and AI teams to translate ambiguous requirements into production-ready solutions.
  • Apply generative AI and agentic development tools to improve engineering workflows and product capabilities.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including technical leadership on complex production systems.
  • Strong hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
  • Backend development experience with Ruby on Rails or a comparable server-side framework.
  • Experience building complex, data-intensive web applications, such as dashboards, editors, visualization tools, or analytics platforms.
  • Experience developing production AI-powered applications or integrating software products with LLMs, AI agents, or generative AI services.
  • Strong API and system-design skills, with the ability to own features from browser rendering through backend services.
  • Experience improving application performance across browser, API, and server-side processing layers.
  • Strong testing practices and experience building reliable CI/CD and release workflows.
  • Production-operations experience, including monitoring, alerting, incident response, and root-cause analysis.
  • Staff-level experience leading architecture, writing design documents, mentoring engineers, and influencing technical decisions across teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience building canvas-based editors, charting systems, dashboards, or advanced data-visualization interfaces.
  • Experience with computation graphs or evaluation engines that operate across browser and server environments.
  • Experience building platforms that make enterprise data accessible to AI agents.
  • Experience with AI evaluation, prompt management, tool calling, structured outputs, or agent orchestration.
