About this role

# AI Native Staff Engineer

You're an experienced software architect who has built agentic AI systems and LLM-powered features in production. You're not experimenting—you've done this and know what works at scale.

## What you'll do

Build AI-Native Product Systems

  • Design and ship AI-powered product features end-to-end
  • Architect systems where LLMs, agents and traditional software work together
  • Implement RAG pipelines, structured reasoning flows and tool-using agents
  • Continuously improve reliability, latency and cost-efficiency

Engineer with AI at full capacity

  • Use AI agents to accelerate development, testing and architecture decisions
  • Ship rapid prototypes and production-grade systems
  • Set up internal AI tooling that multiplies team output
  • Push the boundaries of current models

Own your impact

  • Translate product problems into scalable AI-powered solutions
  • Measure real-world performance (accuracy, business impact, UX)
  • Optimize for production robustness over demo quality
  • Shape AI-native engineering culture

## What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Proven track record in designing and shipping large-scale production systems
  • Architectural ownership of services or product domains
  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, concurrency, reliability)
  • Experience operating production systems (monitoring, incident handling, performance tuning)
  • Cloud-native experience (GCP, AWS, Azure)
  • Shipped LLM-powered features in production to real users
  • Designed and implemented RAG systems in production environments
  • Built or architected AI agents or multi-step reasoning systems
  • Designed evaluation frameworks for LLM output quality, safety and regression detection
  • Optimized AI systems for latency, cost-efficiency and reliability
  • Integrated vector databases and embedding pipelines into scalable systems
  • Actively used AI tools and agents to augment engineering workflows
  • Designed systems where AI components and deterministic systems work together
  • Converted rapid AI prototypes into production-grade systems
  • Strong intuition around when to use AI vs deterministic logic
  • Led complex technical initiatives end-to-end
  • Translated ambiguous business problems into system architecture
  • Mentored senior engineers or set technical standards
  • Shipped high-impact features with measurable outcomes

We're rethinking recruitment with AI as the core of the product, not an add-on.
