How We Work: AI-Native by Default
We expect our Staff Engineers to set the benchmark for what AI-native engineering looks like at the highest level. You will utilize AI agents and automated workflows to accelerate complex design, investigation, and implementation work. Beyond personal productivity, you will define the AI engineering practices adopted across the company and identify step-change bets where AI fundamentally reshapes how we build software.
