Staff Software Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive the technical architecture for complex, cross-team full-stack initiatives spanning front-end, backend, and data layers.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance web applications and distributed services in a cloud-native environment.

• Architect and integrate agentic AI workflows (autonomous agents, LLM-driven automation, AI copilots) into engineering and product systems to drive efficiency and new capabilities.

• Set engineering standards and best practices for code quality, system design, testing, and deployment across the organization, including responsible use of AI-assisted development tools.

• Lead technical design reviews and provide architectural guidance to multiple engineering teams.

• Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to translate business strategy into scalable technical roadmaps, including AI-driven product capabilities.

• Identify and resolve systemic performance, reliability, and scalability issues across the stack.

• Mentor and coach senior and mid-level engineers, raising the technical bar across the organization on both full-stack and AI engineering practices.

• Drive adoption of modern frameworks, tools, and engineering practices, including agentic AI and LLM tooling, to improve developer velocity and system resilience.

• Maintain awareness of emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly in agentic AI and automation, and assess their applicability to the business.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, or related field preferred.

• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with demonstrated experience architecting full-stack web applications at scale.

• Expert-level proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js) and backend languages (e.g., C#, Node.js, Java, or similar).

• Deep understanding of distributed systems design, microservices architecture, and API design (REST/GraphQL).

• Strong experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and cloud-native architecture patterns.

• Hands-on experience building or integrating agentic AI systems, LLM-powered applications, or AI agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, MCP).

• Proven track record of leading large-scale technical initiatives across multiple teams.

• Strong background in database design, including both relational (SQL) and NoSQL data stores.

• Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps practices.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence technical direction without direct reporting authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing multi-agent systems, tool-calling architectures, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.

• Experience with event-driven architectures and real-time data processing (e.g., Kafka, Event Hubs, Kinesis).

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Prior experience in commercial real estate, fintech, or operations/transaction systems.

• Track record of speaking, writing, or open-source contributions that demonstrate technical thought leadership, especially in applied AI.
