San Francisco, CA (Onsite)

I'm working with one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies in the market that's looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer to take ownership of product quality and reliability across its core platform.

This is a highly technical, high-impact role where you'll work directly with engineering leadership to improve platform stability, investigate production issues, strengthen testing infrastructure, and help scale an AI product trusted by some of the world's most recognizable enterprises.

• Improve testing infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and release processes
• Work across multiple systems to proactively identify and resolve reliability challenges
• Partner closely with customers and engineers to improve platform performance and reliability
• Raise engineering standards through technical leadership and ownership

What they're looking for:
• Staff-level software engineering experience (or operating at Staff level)
• Strong Python and/or Rust programming skills
• Recent startup experience (Seed-Series D preferred)
• Experience owning systems across multiple components rather than a single service
• Customer-first mindset with a strong sense of ownership
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-growth environments

Why this opportunity stands out:
• Base salary: $240,000-$270,000 (flexible for exceptional candidates) + equity
• Direct influence on the quality and reliability of a widely adopted AI platform
• Significant technical ownership with daily production impact
• Opportunity to work across both Python and Rust as performance-critical systems continue to evolve
