Description
As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the Agent & Partner Experiences team, you'll be a key technical leader responsible for influencing the team and broader organization as we build and scale our platform.
You'll sit at the bridge between our API and AI world - turning a payroll platform built for developers into one that agents can reason about and act through.
Here's what you'll do day-to-day:
- Identify and solve high-impact problems involving technical and organizational complexity that requires understanding and coordination across multiple domains.
- Design the API contracts and agent facing tools our partners and AI agents build on, including what a good interface looks like when the caller is an agent model.
- Engage directly with our developer-customers and internal agent partner to deliver a remarkable payroll product.
- Ship code. Clean, tested, and performant.
- Level up the craft of software engineering across the organization by providing technical guidance and mentoring.
- Inform and maintain best practices for reliability and observability for the team.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues.
We're looking for:
- Experience: 12+ years of professional software development experience. You have been a technical owner for organization-wide engineering initiatives and have played a role in scaling engineering organizations.
- Technical Expertise: You are a Ruby and Rails expert. You have navigated massive Rails applications, worked with Ruby across multiple codebases, and are comfortable working at multiple layers of abstraction.
- Platform Thinker: You've designed and built platforms and public-facing APIs, and have a strong understanding of how to build for reliability and performance at scale.
- Bar Raiser: You've spent time mentoring and raising the technical bar for the entire organization. Others look to you for guidance on how to tackle ambiguous problems and handle competing priorities.
- Effective Communicator: You think in terms of business priorities and know about how to orient your team around the right technical goals for the business as well as how to convey technical constraints and needs to business leaders.
Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $213,000 to $236,000 in Denver & most remote locations, $251,000 to $278,000 in San Francisco, New York and Seattle.
