Purpose-built for marketing teams, Jasper enables faster, more consistent execution across campaigns, personalization, localization, and compliance-while maintaining enterprise-grade control and governance.\nJasper is trusted by hundreds of enterprises worldwide, including Prudential, Cushman & Wakefield, and nearly 20% of the Fortune 500. Founded in 2021, Jasper has team members across the U.S., Australia, and France.\nAbout The Role\nJasper has already made its shift to serving the enterprise, and this is the work that continues to strengthen that direction. Our governance domain (authentication, roles and permissions, organizations, billing) is the backbone of every customer interaction, and it needs a Staff-level engineer to own its architecture and modernization. You'll take the reins of these critical backend foundations, refactoring them to be composable, stable, and scalable, so they can power the next generation of enterprise workflows for CMOs, marketing admins, and our own Forward Deployed Engineers. This is a role for someone who wants to operate as a deep technical IC, driving architectural direction and hardening the systems that everything else depends on.\nThis fully remote role reports to our Director of Engineering and is open to candidates located anywhere in the continental US.\nWhat you will do at Jasper\nOwn the architecture of our governance domain end-to-end (authentication, roles and permissions, organizations, groups, billing) and drive its modernization for scale, security, and extensibility\n\nLead the refactoring of foundational backend systems toward an AI-native architecture, ensuring they support composable, customizable workflows for enterprise customers\n\nSet technical direction for authentication, authorization, and organizational modeling, balancing immediate hardening with long-term platform thinking\n\nThe governance domain will not be the only area you work in going forward, however it is the area we need to invest in right now with strong technical leadership\n\nPartner with product and engineering leadership to translate enterprise requirements (CMOs, marketing admins, FDEs) into scalable platform capabilities\n\nMentor and elevate the engineering team, raising the bar on backend practices, code quality, and architectural rigor\n\nOperate hands-on 70-80% of the time, writing and reviewing critical-path code while providing technical leadership\n\nWhat you will bring to Jasper\nAI fluency with a working understanding of core AI concepts (LLMs, agents, tokens, credits, context windows, RAG, data governance, etc.), applied to backend engineering\n\nHeavy backend experience. This is a \"second rodeo\" hire: you've owned complex, business-critical backend systems before and you know what it takes to harden them for enterprise scale.\n\nDeep expertise in at least one of: authentication/authorization, multi-tenant systems, or billing platforms. You've designed these systems, not just maintained them.\n\nEnterprise backend DNA. You've built for enterprise buyers and understand the bar that governance, compliance, and reliability demand at that scale. That kind of enterprise backend depth is exactly what we're looking for.\n\nStrong architectural judgment. You can balance pragmatism with long-term platform thinking, and you know when to build vs. buy vs. refactor.\n\nA track record of technical leadership as an IC. You've mentored engineers, raised the bar on code quality and practices, and driven technical direction as an individual contributor.\n\nYou're not looking for a purely architectural role. You want to write and review critical-path code while providing technical leadership.\n\nYou're excited to keep growing and leveling up as an IC. This is a deep technical role, and you want to deepen your craft and impact as both an individual contributor and technical voice.\n\nDirect experience in the governance problem space: auth/authz, roles and permissions, multi-tenant organizations (nice to have)\n\nExperience with billing systems and usage-based pricing models (nice to have)\n\nExperience building for enterprise buyers: SSO/SAML, SCIM, audit logs, compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO 27001) (nice to have)\n\nFamiliarity with AI-native product development: integrating LLMs, building agentic workflows, RAG systems (nice to have)\n\nTeam & Context\nThis role sits in the EPD org. This group owns the application surfaces and foundational backend that every Jasper customer touches. The team is currently small but high-impact, with this hire being a key addition that will shape the architectural direction of the governance domain. You'll work closely with product, platform, and Forward Deployed Engineering teams, translating enterprise requirements into scalable platform capabilities. The broader engineering org is investing heavily in AI-native architecture, and this role is central to making that vision real for our most critical systems.\nHow you'll be evaluated\nWe'll assess candidates through a structured interview process designed to evaluate technical depth, architectural judgment, and leadership as an IC. Details will be shared with candidates during the interview process.\nCompensation Range\nAt Jasper, we believe in pay transparency and are committed to providing our employees and candidates with access to information about our compensation practices. The expected base salary range offered for this role is $214,200 - $259,000. Compensation may vary based on relevant experience, skills, competencies, and certifications.\nBenefits & Perks\nComprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision coverage beginning on the first day for employees and their families\n\n401(k) program with up to 2% company matching\n\nEquity grant participation\n\nFlexible PTO with a FlexExperience budget ($900 annually) to help you make the most of your time away from work\n\nFlexWellness program ($1,800 annually) to help support your personal health goals\n\nGenerous budget for home office set up\n\n$1,500 annual learning and development stipend\n\n16 weeks of paid parental leave\n\nOur goal is to be a diverse workforce that is representative at all job levels as we know the more inclusive we are, the better our product will be. We are committed to celebrating and supporting our differences and that diversity is essential to innovation and makes us better able to serve our customers. We hire people of all levels and backgrounds who are excited to learn and develop their skills.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer.
