About The Position

Steer is seeking a visionary Principal Full Stack Engineer to join their Core Platform Team. This role is crucial for evolving the CRM platform into its next generation. Unlike large tech companies where roles can be highly specialized, at Steer, this position offers the opportunity to be an architect of a platform aiming for market dominance. The role involves leading entire products from conception to launch, with a strong emphasis on an agentic-first approach where engineers architect systems around autonomous, AI-driven workflows. This is a high-impact position for individuals who can see beyond immediate tasks, challenge norms, and drive innovation.

Requirements

7+ years of professional experience building complex, web-based SaaS products.
Hands-on experience working with LLMs and prompt engineering. You use AI to bridge gaps and accelerate development.
Proven experience deploying AI-powered features and autonomous (agentic) workflows in production-grade infrastructure.
Hands-on experience integrating AI tooling into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., automated code review agents, AI-assisted testing, or agentic workflow orchestration).
Proficiency with both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) databases, including schema design and query optimization.
A track record of taking full accountability for projects and a passion for solving "impossible" problems in fast-paced environments.
The ability to translate complex technical concepts into product outcomes and collaborate effectively with leadership.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with our current stack: .NET, Node.js (TypeScript), and React.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Previous experience as a founding engineer or in an early-stage startup environment.
Experience building or integrating with Claude marketplace plugins (Anthropic ecosystem), including prompt chaining, tool use, or MCP integrations.

Responsibilities

Focus on the core components of the Steer CRM, specifically optimizing how we ingest and process data to revolutionize our automation tools.
Lead the design of reusable full-stack components and services that ensure our platform remains performant as we scale toward market dominance.
Pivot at a moment's notice based on evolving business needs, shifting focus between new integrations and core infrastructure to keep our ecosystem seamless.
Partner closely with Product to understand user pain points, ensuring every architectural decision adds tangible value to the auto repair shops we serve.
Champion best practices in security, test automation, and maintainability. Conduct deep-dive code reviews that elevate the entire engineering organization.
Influence our CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and IaC practices. Design and maintain AI-integrated, agentic-ready infrastructure that enables autonomous workflows.
