Staff Software Engineer

What You'll Do:

Approach problems with an agentic mindset, thinking in terms of autonomous workflows, reasoning, and adaptive systems, rather than defaulting to traditional deterministic engineering patterns.

Own features end-to-end : design, build, ship, and iterate with minimal hand-holding.

Drive solution approach for your projects, proactively flagging risks and trade-offs early and communicating them clearly to stakeholders.

Design for scale and reliability from the outset, given the pace at which this platform is growing.

Partner closely with product, design, and FDEs to shape plans, not just execute them.

Bring forward better tools, patterns, or approaches where you see an opportunity to improve how the team builds.

Keep documentation lean but sufficient, enough for clarity and continuity

This is not a complete list of responsibilities, and the scope of the role may evolve with the needs of the team and business. This role will require occasional travel for team meetings, training, or company events.

What Success Looks Like

By 6–12 months in this role, you will have:

Delivered product enhancements that measurably increased customer adoption of the Atlas AI Agents Platform.

Became a trusted resource for technical problem-solving, unblocking teammates and improving delivery speed across the team.

Strengthened the team's ability to deliver predictably on cutting-edge technology, giving the business confidence to plan ahead.

Built strong working relationships across engineering, product, and design that improve collaboration and decision-making.

Consistently raised the team's bar for quality and ownership, not just met the existing one.

What We're Looking For:

4 - 7 years of professional software engineering experience.

At least 3 years building scale applications using Python and modern JavaScript frameworks (preferably ReactJs).

1 - 2 years building AI Agents / working with LLMs, with a genuine engineering mindset, not just prompt-engineering.

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.

Proven experience as a full stack engineer, owning features from initial design through deployment and ongoing maintenance.

Strong understanding of best practices for the full software development lifecycle, system design, including coding standards, code reviews, version control, build processes, testing, and operations.

Comfortable working with autonomy while thriving in a highly collaborative, cross-functional team environment.

Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with engineers, product managers, and designers.
