Dutchie aims to further support the positive societal change the cannabis industry brings to the world through wellness benefits, social justice, and empowering local communities through tax revenue. Powering thousands of dispensaries across 40+ markets throughout the United States and Canada, Dutchie is the leading technology company in the cannabis space and was named in Fast Company’s 10 Most Innovative Companies in North America and listed two years in a row on LinkedIn’s Top 50 Startups.\nDutchie has raised over $600M in funding to date, backed by D1 Capital Partners, Tiger Global, Dragoneer, DFJ Growth, Thrive Capital, Howard Schultz, Snoop Dogg’s Casa Verde Capital, Gron Ventures, members of the founding team at DoorDash, Kevin Durant’s Thirty Five Ventures, and other notable angel investors.\nAbout This Job\nWe're hiring a Staff Engineer at Dutchie - someone who works across teams to solve the hardest problems, spot them early, and steer the technical direction so we hit fewer of them down the road.\nYou'll work at the core of our platform: making it better, faster, and more reliable; and partner with teams across the org on the integrations and shared problems no single team owns. You'll shape how we build, including what good engineering looks like when AI is part of everyday work.\nThe world of cannabis changes constantly, and we optimize our process for meeting that need while maintaining a high quality bar. We push context down, concerns up, and lean on a strong bias for ownership. If that's your kind of place, let's talk.\nWhat You'll Do…\nMake real improvements to enterprise-grade retail software at scale\nSet technical direction - make the architecture calls that shape how systems evolve, and align teams behind them\nWork with stakeholders to scope, sharpen, and stress-test customer-facing features\nGet in front of customers to learn how they work and where it hurts, then turn that into better products\nPartner across the org on unified solutions for problems that span teams\nMentor other engineers - everyone had help to get here, reinforce your own skills by helping others grow theirs\nHelp the team plan, estimate, and de-risk big work by breaking it down and sequencing it well\nSet the bar for engineering judgment, code quality, and craft\nWhat You Bring...\nWe're flexible on years of experience. The depth and influence we're after usually show up around 8+ years in, but it's about what you can do, not the number on your résumé.\nEngineering depth (the foundation)\nA track record of building and running production systems at scale\nDeep, hands-on experience in at least one modern backend stack - across Dutchie you'll find .NET/C#, TypeScript, Ruby, and React on the frontend, backed by PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and MongoDB. We care more about how fast you ramp than a perfect stack match on day one\nExperience designing scalable data models across relational and non-relational stores\nPride in your craft - code that's clean, tested, and easy for the next person to build on\nAI-native ways of working (how you operate)\nYou use LLMs routinely - researching unfamiliar systems, diagnosing issues, planning solutions to messy problems, writing and reviewing code, and watching what you ship\nYou are comfortable and excited about an agentic first environment. You know how to utilize AI to ship better solutions faster and safer than you could by hand alone.\nYou raise the team's baseline - turning one-off wins into repeatable practices\nHow you show up (the multipliers)\nYou make the people around you better - your biggest impact isn't just your code, it's how you raise everyone else's output and judgment\nYou're genuinely curious about customers, and you let their pain points steer where the team spends its effort\nWhen a problem spans multiple teams and no one owns the whole thing, you're the one who scopes it, breaks it into pieces teams can run with, and keeps them pointed the same way\nYou can hold several threads at once - a few projects plus the broader technical direction - and reprioritize cleanly when things shift\nYou know where process helps and where it's in the way\nYou communicate well - you make hard trade-offs clear to engineers, product, and leadership alike\nYou own outcomes, not tasks - from ambiguous to shipped, accountable for how it runs in production\nIt’s a Bonus if You…\nHave experience in the cannabis industry - building for it, working in it, or just knowing the space\nHave built POS, Ecommerce, Payments, or other retail and commerce technology\nHave built and monitored cloud-native infrastructure (AWS)\nHave deep experience with third-party integrations\nHave brought AI-assisted workflows, tooling, or agents to an engineering team\nYou’ll Get…\nWe are targeting a starting salary of $170,000 - $230,000 based on the intended level for this role.\nIn addition to cash compensation, our total rewards package includes:\nFull medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.\nEquity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.\nTechnology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance\nFlexible vacation and sick days\nAt Dutchie, we’re committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and teammates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, age, national origin, disability status, genetic information, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Dutchie believes that diversity and inclusion among our teammates is critical to our success, and we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5919,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["POS Systems","Cannabis & CBD"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-31T00:40:50Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-01T01:10:52Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-09-25T00:32:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.609,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":89,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dutchie-staff-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dutchie-staff-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T19:22:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22325,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5761},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5761"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdutchie-staff-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdutchie-staff-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdutchie-staff-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dutchie-staff-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdutchie-staff-engineer"}]}
