Staff Software Engineer

Role Description

This is a builder's role, not a manager's. You'll write code that matters, shape the architectural decisions behind the product, and set the bar for craft. You'll be one of a small group of high-performance, high-octane engineers, so direction gets shaped together, and we want you operating with genuine agency and deep ownership over what you build and ship.

As a key architect of Venice’s consumer-facing products, you’ll do more than build features; you’ll help decide what gets built and why. You’ll carry ownership over the whole application (a React/TypeScript stack that has to be fast, gorgeous, and rock-solid at scale), not just your corner of it.

• Take features from ambiguous problem to production, knowing when to move fast and when to slow down.
• Set the bar for frontend craft across the board: performance, accessibility, state management, component architecture, production, reliability, and polish.
• Work directly with founders, design, and inference teams to turn big ideas into interfaces people actually want.
• Make the whole organization better through code review and mentorship.

Qualifications

• Staff-level depth in TypeScript and React.
• Experience with Rust and React Native is ideal.
• Built and scaled complex consumer products.
• Comfortable with agentic coding tools and have thought about making them reliable at team scale.
• Shipped multimodal, streaming, high-latency agentic applications.
• Deep experience building privacy-focused, local-first applications.
• Real web3 experience and knowledge of decentralized primitives in consumer products.
• Strong product instincts and care about user experience.
• Ability to know when to go deep and when to move on.

Requirements

• Experience in a small, senior team environment.
• Ability to influence through what you build.
