# Staff Software Engineer

Staff Software Engineer ROLE / DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW Pathstream is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead large, cross-team technical work on our platform. This is a senior individual contributor role on one of our engineering pods. Our pods are small, fast-moving teams that own their area end to end and ship to production often. You will report to your pod's engineering lead and have no direct reports. You will be an expert in the systems your team owns, and you will understand how data moves through the rest of Pathstream's platform. You will lead multi-person projects from design to production, set the technical bar for your pod, and help the engineers around you grow. A core expectation of this role is the ability to advance Pathstream's AI-native engineering practices. AI adoption is already deeply embedded in how we build software at Pathstream. We are looking for a technical leader who not only embraces this approach but actively pushes the organization forward in building, evaluating, and deploying AI-enabled development tools and agentic engineering workflows. Both as a hands-on practitioner and as a force-multiplier for engineers across the org. WHAT WE DO Pathstream was
