Join our team as a Senior/Staff Software Engineer (Data Intelligence) and help lead our agile backend teams. In this role, you will design and build scalable systems, backend services, and data-processing workflows that transform complex customer data into reliable outputs. You will shape the architecture of our APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and LLM-powered systems while improving their reliability, observability, and performance. This is a high-impact opportunity to influence the company's technical strategy and make foundational decisions that will scale with us.
Design and build scalable agentic systems, backend services, and data-processing workflows that transform complex, unstructured customer data into reliable, structured outputs.
Responsibilities
- Shape the architecture of APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and LLM-powered systems while improving their reliability, observability, and performance.
- Translate ambiguous business needs into clear technical direction and lead foundational decisions that scale with the company.
- Experience deploying and operating containerized applications on a major cloud platform
Requirements
- Experience designing distributed systems, asynchronous workflows, and reliable data-processing services
- Strong knowledge of data warehousing concepts
- 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including building and operating production backend or data-intensive systems
- Experience with a growing company
Experience specifically with GCP and Datadog
- Experience building production LLM systems, including multi-step, tool-using, or agentic workflows
- You don’t need constant direction — you create momentum
- You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you
- You’re low-ego but high-agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually
- You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments
- You take pride in getting things done — thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama
- You value feedback — giving it, receiving it, and acting on it — and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden
- You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data
- You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution
