Staff Software Engineer, Business Systems & Integrations

Groq•Worth, IL

5d•$270,400 - $318,100

About The Position

Groq is seeking a hands-on software engineer to architect, build, and scale systems connecting physical AI infrastructure operations with enterprise financial and business platforms. This is a software engineering role rather than a SaaS administration or IT permissions-management position, with approximately 60–70% of the role devoted to production coding, system architecture, API development, and automated data pipelines. The role focuses on connecting physical infrastructure lifecycles—including servers, racks, network inventory, and spare parts moving through procurement, assembly, data center deployment, and retirement—to Groq’s financial ledger in NetSuite. The engineer will own the architecture of integration services, custom scanning and asset applications, and event-driven workflows that reduce manual operational work. The position also encompasses AI-enabled automation, production reliability, and technical leadership. The engineer will develop automation using LLM APIs, AI agents, and MCP; own reliability practices and production operations; and translate ambiguous operational and financial objectives into concrete system specifications and architectural standards.

Requirements

6–8+ years of dedicated software engineering experience designing, building, and operating production services and backend applications.
Advanced expertise in Python, Go, or comparable object-oriented or functional programming languages.
Mastery of SQL and relational database modeling.
Proven experience architecting scalable RESTful APIs, webhooks, microservices, and asynchronous event-driven integration pipelines.
Hands-on experience developing against ERP platforms, preferably NetSuite using SuiteTalk, REST Web Services, or SuiteScript.
Ability to operate at an L6/L7 Staff level, independently designing resilient technical approaches to broadly scoped and ambiguous business problems.

Nice To Haves

Experience building software engines for physical infrastructure, hardware supply chains, inventory management, or data center logistics.
Understanding of accounting flows, including fixed assets, inventory capitalization, depreciation, and SOX compliance controls.
Experience using modern AI developer tooling, LLM integration patterns, or agentic frameworks in production environments.
Exposure to internal tooling frameworks such as Retool or custom React/Node.js dashboards.

Responsibilities

Architect, develop, and maintain high-throughput production microservices and API integrations connecting NetSuite ERP with logistics, warehouse, data center management, and procurement systems.
Design data models and internal software tools, including mobile asset-scanning applications, to track physical hardware through assembly, deployment, maintenance, and financial depreciation.
Spend 60–70% of capacity on hands-on software development using Python, Go, or modern TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystems.
Resolve schema and state mismatches across operational systems while ensuring data integrity and transactional consistency in NetSuite.
Architect automation workflows using LLM APIs, AI agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) for reconciliation, document parsing, and exception handling with verification controls.
Own reliability, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, access security, audit logs, and monitoring for production software serving internal business customers.
Translate ambiguous operational and financial objectives into software system specifications and establish architectural standards for business systems engineering.
