$330,000–$390,000 + Equity
New York, NY (Onsite)
We're partnering with a fast-growing AI infrastructure startup that's building products at the forefront of autonomous software. They're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys shipping quickly, and wants to shape the next generation of AI-powered developer tools.
The Role
As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll own products end-to-end—from technical design and backend architecture through to polished user experiences. You'll work closely with customers, rapidly iterate on feedback, and help define how AI-native products are built.
What You'll Do
- Own features from concept through production across the full stack.
- Design scalable APIs, data models, and intuitive frontend experiences.
- Partner directly with customers to gather feedback and drive rapid iteration.
- Collaborate with design and engineering to deliver high-quality product experiences.
- Make technical decisions in ambiguous environments and drive execution independently.
- Raise the engineering bar through strong ownership and craftsmanship.
What You'll Bring
- Proven experience shipping customer-facing products end-to-end.
- Deep knowledge of React and modern web application architecture.
- Experience working in fast-paced startup environments.
- Excellent communication skills and a customer-first mindset.
- Passion for AI-native products and leveraging AI throughout your development workflow.
Ideal Background
- AI-native startups, developer tools, infrastructure, or SaaS products.
- Experience building products with high ownership and minimal direction.
- Comfortable working directly with users and rapidly iterating based on feedback.
Why Join?
- Build category-defining AI products from the ground up.
- High ownership and autonomy with direct product impact.
- Work alongside an ambitious, highly technical team.
- Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and excellent benefits.
- Opportunity to influence engineering culture and product direction as the company scales.
