AI Staff Software Engineer

$250k
Full-time

PromptQL

Role Description

PromptQL is hiring a Staff AI Software Engineer to help us build the technical backbone of our AI systems and product, PromptQL. This role exists because we are operating at the frontier of what's possible with conversation AI and we need someone who can think and build at that frontier with us. Our team has built impressive momentum with a small group of highly capable engineers and researchers. Now, we’re looking for someone who can bring deep technical leadership, broaden our capabilities, and help us scale our systems to provide accurate and reliable AI to Fortune1000 enterprises.

This is not a narrow role. You’ll be:

  • Writing production code
  • Designing architecture
  • Optimizing performance
  • Shaping infrastructure
  • Contributing to safety mechanisms
  • Building our core stack
  • Rapidly designing and implementing features across the PromptQL AI assistant, the PromptQL data engine, and the PromptQL runtime infrastructure

This is a rare opportunity to join a deeply ambitious and experienced team working on some of the most impactful technology of our time. If you're an A+ engineer who thrives in ambiguity, loves working across boundaries, and wants your work to directly shape how AI gets used in the real world—this role is for you.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience as a software engineer, with at least 1+ years building AI or ML-powered systems
  • Designed and shipped complex distributed systems at scale
  • Worked directly with large language models (LLMs) in production
  • Fluent in Python and/or a systems language
  • Comfortable leading technically: writing high-leverage design docs, setting engineering direction, and mentoring other senior engineers
  • Biased toward action and can operate with high autonomy
  • Care about quality, safety, and performance
  • Excited about our mission and energized by building foundational technology for the next generation of AI applications

Requirements

  • You need a lot of structure, processes, or clearly defined roadmaps to succeed
  • You aren’t comfortable operating in ambiguity or changing priorities
  • You’ve never worked with AI/ML systems and don’t plan to upskill quickly
  • You aren’t confident writing production-grade Python or working in cloud-native environments
  • You prefer to work strictly within your lane and don't enjoy cross-functional collaboration
  • You aren’t excited about the pace and reality of building at an early-stage, high-velocity startup
  • You view engineering as separate from product and user experience
  • You’re not passionate about the transformative potential of AI or aren’t curious about its technical and societal implications

Compensation

  • Salary $250,000 - $500,000
  • Plus annual bonus
  • Large equity package

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance to keep you healthy and thriving
  • Employee assistance programs for support when you need it
  • Retirement fund contribution matching to help you invest in your future
  • Donation matching to amplify your charitable impact
  • Paid time off to support your well-being
  • Monthly company-wide self-care day to recharge
  • Stock options so you can share in our success
  • Paid parental leave to support growing families
  • Commuter benefits to help you save on your journey to the office
  • Employee referral program to reward you for connecting us with great talent
