Staff Software Engineer

$240k - $280k

Plus AI, Inc

Presentations shape the ideas, strategies, and decisions that drive companies forward. But making great slides is surprisingly hard, so people end up spending more time formatting text boxes than figuring out what they actually want to say.

Plus AI helps consultants, sales teams, educators, and other professionals create and edit slides faster, so they spend less time formatting, and more time refining their ideas and engaging with customers.

We built Plus AI to integrate directly into the tools professionals already use (PowerPoint and Google Slides), so it's easy to learn, and customers don't have to make any changes to their existing workflows.

How it's going

After raising $8 million in VC funding, we've built a profitable, high-growth business with industry-leading revenue per employee.

We serve tens of thousands of paying users at Fortune 500 companies, top consulting firms, and the world's best educational institutions. Customers choose Plus because we focus on building the best AI experience for professional slide makers.

Presentations are one of the most important ways knowledge workers communicate, and it's a massive market. So we're fortunate to be in the position of moving at startup speed in a big market while operating a real business that generates significant revenue (and profit).

What we're looking for

You should join Plus because you not only want to build a great product but you also want to build a great team, culture, and company from the ground up. We're looking for people who can work together to achieve exceptional results, not just "10x engineers.".

Our biggest advantage is having a small, talented team that can quickly respond to customer feedback, turn ideas into features, and execute on building an amazing product. You should be excited about moving fast, collaborating to solve ambiguous problems, and owning your work.

About the role

As a staff software engineer at Plus, you'll be working closely with our product and engineering team on building and shipping customer-facing products to tens of thousands of paying customers.

You'll be expected to lead the development of new AI capabilities from prototype to production, work with our entire team on product strategy, planning, and feature scoping, and contribute to our team's unique culture and processes.

Examples of what you'll work on

  • Creating next-gen AI systems that allow our customers to create beautiful, on-brand presentations using their custom presentation templates
  • Building agentic AI workflows, so our customers can easily use Plus across different platforms (e.g., email, Slack, Teams)
  • Prototyping new systems to dynamically generate customized slide decks for prospective customers

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping features to end users and experience developing generative AI products
  • Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively, especially while taking 0 to 1 projects from concept through production
  • Strong intuition for design and a high, detail-oriented bar for user experiences
  • Experimentation mindset and comfort operating in an ambiguous environment
  • Python, Node.js, Prisma
  • AWS
  • Top quartile salary and equity. We're targeting a salary range of $240-280k for this role.
  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance. We cover 100% of premiums for both you and your dependents.
  • High autonomy and trust environment. You're accountable for results, not hours.
  • Remote-first team norms that balance real-time and async collaboration. You can read more about our culture here .
  • In-person gatherings every 1-2 quarters (past locations include New York, Chicago, Jackson Hole. Next up: Madeira!)
  • We expect everyone to take 3-4 weeks of vacation a year, but we're not keeping track.
  • $300 monthly remote work stipend for your home office or a co-working space.
  • $500 monthly stipend to outsource tasks that are not a good use of your time.
