Hiring for a full-time, 100% remote role (entire company is remote) for a Staff Software Engineer, working on the ShiftUp platform stack (Python, Pydantic AI, GCP, Temporal Workflows, Turbopuffer, Postgres). You will be one of the first five engineering hires, and you will have the ability to grow and shape your own role.
We need someone with solid experience designing and implementing systems with many moving parts, who can easily shift between systems design, writing and reviewing code (or, let's face it, supervising Codex/Cursor/Claude Code), working with the team to design features, and talking to customers to gain feedback and insights.
You'll be working to build all kinds of agents, workflows, and other components to support our features. Our research agents are truly deep, sometimes spending upwards of an hour searching and analyzing information for a single prospect or strategy. Our RAG pipeline is focused on quality, leveraging LLM chunking, metadata and graph generation, and contextual embeddings.
If this sounds like fun, let's chat: you won't be asked to regurgitate leetcode solutions, we'll simply have a conversation and see if there's a mutual fit. Our interview process is lightweight, respectful and moves fast. Competitive salary, equity and full benefits.
