Staff Software Developer (SF)

The role

We're a San Francisco & Montreal based applied AI startup that's building the future of work in the banking industry. We are tackling a $100 billion/yr problem, doubling every quarter and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with multi-turn AI agentic systems.

Our goal is to tackle the type of automation problems that require long-context reasoning, tool orchestration across legacy systems, and strict compliance loops: the ones without known answers.

We’ve shipped real agents that handle real customer workflows in production. With a growing customer base and live deployments, we’re scaling up fast and looking for deeply technical builders who want to have outsized impact early.

Our core engineering team is looking for a builder, a Software Developer who thrives in early-stage (ambiguous) environments. You’ve seen products through from v1 to scale, and you love designing clean systems that last.

Your mission is to

  • Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance practical AI-powered software solutions for the fintech industry.

  • Own project timelines by managing priorities and delivering high-quality features.

  • Drive product and business decisions as a core contributor, helping to define and shape both the technical foundation and strategic direction.

  • Participate and foster best practices including code reviews, testing, etc.

Who You Are

  • Demonstrated backend/fullstack engineering experience, ideally in SaaS in high-impact projects

  • Deep experience with Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), Docker, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP)

  • Strong background in relational + non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, Redis)

  • API design chops (REST, GraphQL), deployment know-how

Bonus Points If You

  • Have frontend skills (React, TypeScript)

  • Know your way around cloud infra

  • Have experience building integrations or pipelines

  • Worked with distributed systems

  • Love mentoring and growing teams

Why Join Saris AI?

  • 🏦 Join us in building the future of work for the trillion-dollar banking industry using cutting edge AI technology.

  • ⚡Tackle ambiguous technical challenges with no clear answers.

  • 💲Competitive compensation with premium benefits and equity package.

  • 🤝Work with a stellar team of engineers, builders, and leaders; including repeat YC founders with a successful exit (Ready Education).

  • 📈We already have production agents live with revenue-generating customers

  • 🐦 🔥Our team is backed by Tier 1 Silicone Valley VCs
