Staff Backend Engineer

Doss

DOSS Operations Cloud

DOSS is building an Operations Cloud for the real world. A modern, AI-native platform for physical product businesses to manage the flow of goods, dollars, and data in real time, across:

  • Procurement
  • Inventory
  • Orders
  • Fulfillment
  • Finance

Built to replace spreadsheet chaos and rigid, consultant-heavy ERPs. Fast time-to-value, adaptable as the business evolves.

Through our Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP) and unified operational data model, teams deploy quickly, automate workflows, and make changes without months of re-implementation.

We recently raised a $55M Series B, co-led by Madrona and Premji Invest. Participation from Intuit Ventures, Theory Ventures, General Catalyst, Contrary Capital, and Pathlight VC.

DOSS is trusted by fast-growing operators to run critical operations with speed, control, and confidence.

What You'll Do
  • Design the core EAV data model & schema-as-code platform that powers every customer's instance, balancing extreme flexibility with transactional integrity.
  • Build a Git-style version-control + migration engine capable of rolling forward/back complex schema and data changes on live production tenants in enterprise settings.
  • Engineer AI-assisted tooling that uses foundation models to propose, validate, and apply new customer schemas and workflow definitions.
  • Scale our white-labeled data warehouse (BigQuery/Snowflake-like) for high-volume, low-latency analytics and automation workloads.
  • Create Terraform-like declarative APIs & SDKs so ops teams can treat business processes as code while you ensure security, tenancy, and performance.
  • Deliver end-to-end observability & search across supply-chain, finance, and ops data—surfacing business logic in plain language through AI-native search.
  • Build Enterprise guard rails into a composable system to proactively detect anomalous behavior or risky emergent patterns
  • Mentor and shape engineering culture , partnering with product and design to turn unsexy back-office pain into elegant, resilient systems loved by operators.

  • Low Ego: you work best in collaborative environments where everyone supports the team.
What You'll Get
  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • 100% Coverage for individuals Premium medical, dental & vision coverage
  • 401(k), immediate eligibility
  • Lunch in-office 5 days/week (and dinner when needed)
