We’re partnering with a leading consumer technology company to hire a Senior / Staff Software Engineer to help build and scale next-generation, AI-powered commerce experiences.

This is a high-impact role focused on reimagining how customers interact with digital products across complex journeys—transforming traditional, static experiences into dynamic, personalized, AI-driven interactions.

You’ll play a key role in modernizing core systems that power shopping, transactions, and post-purchase experiences, leveraging real-time data and machine learning to deliver more relevant and intelligent outcomes.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Architect and build AI-native product experiences that dynamically adapt to user behavior and context
  • Design and implement systems that power personalization, recommendations, and intelligent decisioning in real time
  • Integrate LLM-powered capabilities into production applications, ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability
  • Re-architect and modernize legacy systems into scalable, distributed microservices
  • Build and maintain high-performance APIs and backend services supporting high-traffic, consumer-facing applications
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and data teams to translate business goals into technical solutions
  • Contribute across the stack, with a primary focus on backend systems and the ability to support modern front-end development when needed
  • Lead system design discussions and influence architecture decisions across teams
  • Mentor engineers and elevate engineering standards across the organization
  • Diagnose and resolve complex issues related to performance, scalability, and reliability

What We’re Looking For

  • 8–12+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong backend expertise with experience building distributed systems at scale
  • Proven track record of delivering consumer-facing products in production environments
  • Hands-on experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into real-world applications (beyond experimentation or prototypes)
  • Deep understanding of microservices architecture, system design, and service decomposition
  • Experience designing systems that support real-time processing, personalization, and high availability
  • Proficiency in backend technologies such as C#, Java, or similar
  • Working experience with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React)
  • Strong problem-solving skills with experience troubleshooting complex production systems
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building AI-driven product features, such as recommendation systems, conversational interfaces, or intelligent workflows
  • Familiarity with LLM integration patterns, including prompt design, orchestration, and evaluation strategies
  • Experience working with data pipelines, event-driven architectures, or streaming systems
  • Background in ecommerce, marketplace, or high-transaction environments
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

What Makes This Role Compelling

  • Opportunity to build AI-powered experiences used by millions of customers
  • Work on complex, high-scale systems that directly impact revenue and customer experience
  • Influence the evolution of a platform undergoing significant technical and product transformation
  • Collaborate with a team that values ownership, technical excellence, and innovation

Interview Process

  • Initial technical screen (90 minutes)
  • Final round:
    • System design interview (90 minutes)
    • Technical / coding interview (60 minutes)
    • Cross-functional interview with product and team leadership (30 minutes)

If you want to sharpen this even more, the next step would be:

  • dialing up Staff+ language to scare off mid-levels
  • or creating a compelling LinkedIn post that pulls in the right AI-native candidates instead of generic full-stack folks
