 * Strong written and verbal communication skills to solve technical problems with customers.
 * Bonus: Experience building with TypeScript.

## Description

As a Staff Software Engineer at Fern, you'll build APIs, scale AI infrastructure, and design developer experiences that reach millions of people.

 * Set technical direction: Drive system design decisions around data modeling, performance, correctness, and reliability. Identify scaling bottlenecks before they become problems.
 * Build for durability and scale: Ensure our systems are performant, observable, secure, and resilient under real-world production load across infrastructure (e.g., Vercel, AWS, Turbopuffer). Read about how we use Vercel and Next.js to achieve efficient multi-tenancy and faster development cycles.

 * Collaborate across the stack: Partner closely with product designers, backend, and frontend engineers working in TypeScript and Next.js to define polished interfaces and slick user experiences.
