Think environments comparable to Ramp, Figma, Rippling, Sentry, etc. The specific company does not need to be on an example list, but the caliber of environment and the candidate's actual ownership must be clear. Working at a good company is not enough. Establish what the candidate personally owned, what they built from the early stages, the technical decisions they made, and what happened to the product afterward.

They have raised $58.5M from Seed through Series B, led by GV and Peak XV Capital. They are now expanding beyond its original CI product into AI- developer tooling, including agent sandboxes at scale and its own background coding agent. The engineering organization is intentionally small and highly selective. Staff engineers are expected to remain hands-on ICs who materially influence the technical direction of the company rather than operate as people managers. RESPONSIBILITIES: This is a hands-on Staff-level Product Engineering role, not an engineering management position and not an infrastructure/DevOps/SRE role. The engineer will help set technical direction for new products, make architectural decisions, translate product/business strategy into technical execution, and personally drive new products from 0 *1. This person will be expected to operate effectively when both the problem and solution are still undefined, own production outcomes, mentor senior engineers, and influence engineering standards across the organization.
