We're partnering with a mission-led SaaS startup that is redefining how the audit and advisory world works, using applied AI to modernize one of the most manual, overlooked industries.

This Series B company, with a Series C on the horizon, is backed by world-class investors and undergoing a full-stack rebuild. AI copilots and intelligent automation are already in flight, with strong executive alignment and a mandate to transform Legacy workflows into intuitive, intelligent systems.

About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer (AI), you will play a lead role in building the infrastructure and user-facing systems that power intelligent professional tools. From Back End orchestration to Front End delivery, you'll help ship AI-first features to production, scale internal platforms, and set technical direction. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of AI product development and robust software engineering.

What You'll Do
  • Build full-stack systems that integrate applied LLM features into core product experiences
  • Design and scale Back End services for RAG pipelines, vector search, and AI orchestration
  • Develop intuitive Front End interfaces for AI copilots using modern React patterns
  • Lead architecture and implementation of AI-powered workflows across teams
  • Strengthen internal tooling for prompt iteration, evaluation, and observability
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and ML teams to bring features to life
  • Mentor engineers and influence engineering best practices across the org
What You'll Bring
  • Deep experience with TypeScript, React, Node.js, and AWS
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and Back End design skills
  • Experience integrating LLMs or building AI-powered features
  • Familiarity with RAG, vector databases, and prompt engineering
  • Track record of taking complex systems from concept to production
  • Bonus: experience with evaluation frameworks, observability, or ML infra
  • TypeScript (React, Node.js)
  • Open-source LLM frameworks and orchestration tooling
  • CI/CD, observability, and cloud-native infrastructure
Why Join?
  • High ownership, lead end-to-end systems from infra to UI
  • AI-first mission, reshape a Legacy industry with modern tools
  • Engineering rebuild, build greenfield systems on a clean, modern stack
  • Strong culture, smart and humble teammates who move fast
