Staff Engineer (Full Stack)

Location: Redwood City, CA 94063

Base pay range: $/yr - $/yr

THE OPPORTUNITY: As a Staff Engineer (Full Stack), you will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction of our platform. You'll work across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers to design and deliver scalable, secure, and performant systems. Beyond hands‑on coding, you'll guide teams on architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and drive initiatives that raise the bar for engineering excellence. Experience with AI/agentic development (e.g., MCP, LLM‑based tools, AI integration) is a strong plus, especially if you can help drive adoption of these technologies across the org.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Lead by example: contribute high‑quality code across frontend and backend stacks
• Shape architecture: design scalable systems, APIs, and data flows that serve as long‑term foundations
• Mentor engineers: coach senior and mid‑level engineers, raising technical standards across teams
• Drive cross‑team initiatives: align product, design, and infra stakeholders on technical direction and delivery
• Establish best practices: code quality, testing, security, observability, and performance
• Introduce and champion new technologies, including AI/agentic tooling, where they add business value

WHAT YOU BRING:

• At least 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong contributions across backend and frontend
• Expertise in Type Script/Node.js (NestJS), Python/FastAPI and modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, or equivalent)
• Deep experience designing and scaling distributed systems, APIs (REST/Graph
  
  QL), and data models
• Strong knowledge of databases, caching, and messaging systems
• Proven success leading complex technical projects across multiple teams
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience building or integrating with AI/agentic tools and systems.
• Familiarity with Python for AI/agent‑related workflows.
• Contributions to open‑source or technical communities.
• Background in Dev Ops practices (CI/CD pipelines, containerization, observability).

Within Your First 6 Months:

• 1 Month – Ramp up on systems, ship first contributions, and build cross‑team context
• 3 Months – Own a feature end‑to‑end, mentor peers, and influence architecture direction
• 6 Months – Lead a cross‑team initiative, set guardrails, and drive adoption of best practices (including AI/agentic tools where valuable)
