Description

Staff Engineers (BACKEND) - Full-time Position San Francisco, CA (on-site, but will consider REMOTE) THE USUAL: GREAT CANDIDATES WHO MEET THE JD AND HAVE A GREAT WORK HISTORY ( no job hoppers, only long projects) NOTES: Open to predominantly Big Tech backgrounds, which should have a wide sourcing pool. Short 3-stage interview process Work experience Proven record in fast- moving teams at reputable tech companies (e. g. , Google Cloud, Meta) and have seen what success, deployments, and mentorship look like at scale Prior early-stage (if complemented by scale) and/or Voice AI experience Hard skills Strong fundamentals for full- stack (Python and TypeScript) or backend (Python) Deep experience with GraphQL and React or strong distributed systems experience Soft skills Strong teamwork and collaboration, including communicating technical concepts Miscellaneous Excited/ready to be hands- on and in the weeds vs just high level Traits to avoid Solely big tech experience in slow- moving teams (e. g. , Google Music instead of Google Cloud, Qualcomm instead of Meta etc) Multiple early- stage/founding experiences without seeing true scale Avoid high E4 to low E5 candidates (looking for high E5 to low E6 at least)
