Staff Software Engineer (Platform)
Posted Updated
- As a Staff Software Engineer working on Platform, you will play a foundational role in designing, implementing and spearheading the core platform development
- The platform is used by organizations worldwide to deploy and scale executable AI automations in mission critical production environments
- As a senior member of the engineering team, you are expected to have a strong proficiency in fundamentals of software engineering and exceptional ability to drive technical projects in ambitious technical environments
- You will help define, architect and improve key system foundations that allows the overall engineering team to execute effectively and deliver a stellar platform experience for users within a high growth team
- Design and maintain the core frameworks, libraries, and shared packages that product engineers build on every day
- Own developer experience end to end, including local dev environments, build systems, CI/CD, test infrastructure, and time-to-first-commit for new hires
- Build and maintain the tooling that keeps quality high without slowing anyone down: linters, formatters, static analysis, codegen, and automated checks
- Find and remove the bottlenecks in how we ship, then re-architect foundational abstractions to hold up as the team and the product scale
- Lead core technical initiatives that set the quality bar in the codebase
- Define and scale experimentation, monitoring, reliability, and observability for production systems
- Drive improvements to the core Luminai IDE to deliver a great experience for end users
- Set sane defaults for how the platform handles access control, secrets management, and authentication, so the systems others build on are safe without extra effort
- Working familiarity with a modern infrastructure stack (Kafka, Kubernetes, or similar)
- Track record of shipping high-quality code on hard problems
- Direct experience designing high performance backend systems in production, with judgment about the architectural trade-offs involved
- Solid grasp of security fundamentals for backend and cloud systems (authN/authZ, secrets management, encryption)
- 8+ years as a software engineer, including zero to one projects you drove from scratch
- Experience building internal frameworks, libraries, or developer tooling that other engineers depended on, and a real interest in making them better
- Familiarity with frontend foundations (JS toolchain, bundlers, build systems). Not required, but useful for platform work that reaches into the client
