Staff Software Engineer

The role
This posting covers three levels: Staff Software Engineer, Senior Staff Software Engineer, and Executive Director, Software Engineering. We’re hiring the engineers who set the technical bar for how AI Lab builds — not just shipping an agentic system end-to-end, but deciding how every pod builds agentic systems: which orchestration patterns get reused, what “production-ready” means for an eval framework, and when a client problem needs a genuinely new architecture rather than another RAG pipeline.
You’ll operate at the intersection of hands-on engineering and technical leadership. Expect to spend real time in the code and real time in the room with CFOs and PE operators defending the call you made. This is a highly technical role at every level in this posting — technical depth is the qualifying bar, not a management-track substitute for it. You will be expected to ship fast, defend your decisions, and continuously raise the bar on what AI-assisted delivery looks like.
