Staff Software Engineer - AI Native Authoring

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Act as a technical leader and deep domain expert across the stack, owning an area of the product end-to-end with an eye toward service health, quality, and customer experience.

• Lead large, cross-team projects from architecture through delivery — identifying opportunities, making the right trade-offs in the context of overall company goals, and driving them to completion.

• Leverage agentic AI to accelerate your work (and the team’s) across the tech stack, including (but not limited to) Go, React, and Java — and set the bar for how the team builds with AI.

• Partner deeply across disciplines, including design and product management, to find the sweet spot that helps us build the right thing, the right way, at the right cost.

• Anticipate customer needs and future demands, translate them into our plans, and identify systemic issues that affect reliability and customer experience — working across teams to deliver enduring solutions.

• Develop expertise in others: mentor engineers, raise the bar through code and design reviews, and act as a gatekeeper of standards, consistency, quality, and design while being perceived as a value-adder, not a blocker.

• Strongly contribute to our product vision and drive multi-quarter team planning.

• Build fast products that scale to wild success.

Our Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• 10+ years of hands-on software development experience, including significant full stack software development leveraging responsive design. Bonus points if you’ve shipped mobile experiences leveraging AI.

• Demonstrated track record of leading large or very complex projects that span multiple teams, with a clear pattern of driving them to successful outcomes.

• Deep understanding of modern web application architecture, good API design patterns, security, performance, and scale — and the ability to make principled trade-offs across them.

• Expertise in at least one significant area of a complex product, with broad enough technical range to contribute meaningfully outside your primary area when needed.

• Strong, demonstrated technical leadership: comfort with ambiguity, using data and analysis to drive decisions and build consensus, and proactively identifying and solving problems with limited oversight.

• A track record of developing expertise in others — mentoring senior and junior engineers, leveling up teams, and being the kind of teammate people seek out for hard problems.

• Strong written, verbal, and technical communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and design.

• Knowledge of data development tools, data infrastructure, or ML is a plus.

• You go to work everyday striving to be the very best you can be. You’re undaunted by ambiguity and are motivated to drive impact on the most important problems — not just the most technically exciting ones.
