The Role
As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll own high-impact projects end-to-end from concept through production, in a fast-moving environment where engineers focus on building a great product. You'll work across our codebase alongside a small, highly autonomous team, shipping multiple times a day. This is a role for someone who finds intrinsic motivation in building, moves fast without cutting corners, and measures success by what's live in production.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and deliver major features end-to-end, from initial prototype to production deployment
- Take full responsibility for the quality and polish of what you ship: performant code, pixel-perfect UI, and thoughtful error handling
- Drive technical decisions with strong judgment, knowing when an RFC adds value versus overhead, and when to bet on speed over completeness
- Diagnose production issues using instrumentation and measurement (not vibes), and leave the codebase better than you found it
- Actively shape what gets built: attend customer calls, question priorities, and ensure the work you're doing delivers real, measurable impact rather than ticking off a spec
Who You Are
- You have deep full-stack engineering experience and a track record of shipping customer-facing features in a high-growth environment
- You default to action over process - you'd rather ship something imperfect and iterate than spend weeks perfecting an abstraction nobody's tested in the real world
- You're genuinely autonomous: you know your top priority, why it matters, what's next, and you don't wait for a meeting or a manager to tell you
- You care about craft without being precious - you write clean, reviewable code, sweat the details on UI polish and backend consistency, but never let "perfect" delay "live"
- You thrive in a high-trust, low-overhead environment where you're empowered to make bold calls and accountable when those bets don't pay off
- You're a strong communicator who asks sharp questions, shares context publicly, and treats the codebase as a shared space you're proud to maintain
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience building AI-powered product features
- Proven track record in high-growth startup environments
Compensation and Benefits
- Base Salary Range $200-280K + equity
- Comprehensive health coverage
- $20K relocation assistance and visa sponsorship
- High autonomy and direct collaboration with leadership
- Open to remote candidates
