Founding Staff Software Engineer
Note: We are recruiting on behalf of our valued client. This opportunity is for a position with their organization, not with People Culture Talent. We're excited to help connect talented professionals with this exceptional team!
The Role
The AI-powered shopping platform reinventing purchase decisions for millions of consumers is seeking a Founding Staff Software Engineer to help build groundbreaking technology to billions of searches. This senior role offers the opportunity to set the strategic foundation for the engineering team, lead the design and deployment of critical features, and solve complex technical challenges — from multimodal search to high-performance inference engines — alongside world-class engineers, AI researchers, and designers.
What You’ll Own
Design, scope, implement, and deploy user-critical features.
Work with a dynamic team of other engineers, AI researchers, and product designers tackling cutting-edge problems to create a seamless, cohesive experience for users.
Build across every layer of the stack — web app, container, infrastructure, etc.
Stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and techniques to continually enhance our system, yourself, and the rest of the team.
What You’ll Bring
Have 8+ years of relevant engineering experience, preferably in fast-scaling companies.
Be a self-directed generalist, capable of picking up any engineering problem and solving it, no matter how tedious.
Quickly and iteratively ship code that is correct, robust, scalable, and maintainable. We love elegant code, but we’re not optimizing for that. We take pride in the excellence of the product we build.
Exercise exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
Compensation Band
Their openings span more than one career level. The starting salary range for this role is $175,000 - $240,000 USD. The provided salary depends on many factors, such as work experience and transferable skills, business needs and impact, and market demands.
