Staff Software Engineer

$190k - $250k

Newmark ltd

Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
  • Own and drive the technical architecture for complex, cross-team full-stack initiatives spanning front‑end, backend, and data layers.

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable, high‑performance web applications and distributed services in a cloud‑native environment.

  • Architect and integrate agentic AI workflows (autonomous agents, LLM‑driven automation, AI copilots) into engineering and product systems to drive efficiency and new capabilities.

  • Set engineering standards and best practices for code quality, system design, testing, and deployment across the organization, including responsible use of AI‑assisted development tools.

  • Lead technical design reviews and provide architectural guidance to multiple engineering teams.

  • Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to translate business strategy into scalable technical roadmaps, including AI‑driven product capabilities.

  • Identify and resolve systemic performance, reliability, and scalability issues across the stack.

  • Mentor and coach senior and mid‑level engineers, raising the technical bar across the organization on both full‑stack and AI engineering practices.

  • Drive adoption of modern frameworks, tools, and engineering practices, including agentic AI and LLM tooling, to improve developer velocity and system resilience.

  • Maintain awareness of emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly in agentic AI and automation, and assess their applicability to the business.

Qualifications
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, or related field preferred.

  • 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with demonstrated experience architecting full‑stack web applications at scale.

  • Expert‑level proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js) and backend languages (e.g., C#, Node.js, Java, or similar).

  • Deep understanding of distributed systems design, microservices architecture, and API design (REST/GraphQL).

  • Strong experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and cloud‑native architecture patterns.

  • Hands‑on experience building or integrating agentic AI systems, LLM‑powered applications, or AI agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, MCP).

  • Proven track record of leading large‑scale technical initiatives across multiple teams.

  • Strong background in database design, including both relational (SQL) and NoSQL data stores.

  • Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps practices.

  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction without direct reporting authority.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience designing multi‑agent systems, tool‑calling architectures, or retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.

  • Experience with event‑driven architectures and real‑time data processing (e.g., Kafka, Event Hubs, Kinesis).

  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

  • Prior experience in commercial real estate, fintech, or operations/transaction systems.

  • Track record of speaking, writing, or open‑source contributions that demonstrate technical thought leadership, especially in applied AI.

Why Join Us?
  • Shape the technical direction of business‑critical platforms at enterprise scale, including next‑generation agentic AI initiatives.

  • Be part of a high‑impact team where ownership, innovation, and technical excellence drive success.

  • Competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and access to world‑class engineering and AI resources.

  • Collaborative Culture: Join a high‑caliber team with deep expertise across full‑stack development, cloud, agentic AI, and distributed systems.

  • Growth & Learning: Access world‑class learning resources and mentorship to advance your career.

  • Work‑Life Balance: Flexible working hours and hybrid options.

  • Benefits: Comprehensive health, dental and vision insurance.

If you're passionate about architecting scalable systems, building agentic AI‑driven solutions, and shaping engineering culture, we'd love to hear from you!
