About the role

About the Role

Join the applied AI team at a Series A/B industrial workforce technology company to bring AI agents into its staffing marketplace and build the backend platform that supports it. This senior, hands-on role spans product engineering, distributed systems, and production AI, with the opportunity to shape core architecture.

What You'll Do

  • Apply AI agents and frontier models to automate sourcing, worker vetting, matching, and placement workflows.
  • Design and lead core backend systems, including real-time matching and AI-enabled vetting pipelines.
  • Build and maintain scalable platform services, APIs, data models, and deployment infrastructure.
  • Improve system performance, reliability, and capacity as product needs evolve.
  • Partner across engineering and product to make architectural decisions and deliver practical solutions for operational users.

What We're Looking For

  • Typically 5 or more years of software engineering experience for Senior roles, or 7 or more years for Staff roles, with end-to-end product ownership.
  • Strong Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js skills, including experience with APIs, distributed systems, data modeling, and PostgreSQL; familiarity with Kafka or RabbitMQ is relevant.
  • Experience shipping AI or agentic products to production, and using coding agents and AI-assisted development tools.
  • Background building products in a fast-growing startup or early-stage environment, with demonstrated results and comfort operating amid ambiguity.
  • Strong product judgment and experience working across functions on scalable systems, ideally in applied AI, marketplaces, matching, recruiting, logistics, or other operationally complex domains.
