About The Position

As a Staff Software Engineer at Amigo, you'll take on the hardest technical problems in the platform behind our AI agents. You'll set the architecture that other engineers build on, own problems that start out ambiguous, and shape how the team builds. The team is small, so the work you do here carries a long way. We care about depth and judgment more than any particular stack. Whether your background leans full-stack, backend, infrastructure, or data, there is hard work here that needs an owner.

Requirements

Designed and delivered complex systems end to end, and other engineers have built on top of your work
Deep in at least one area (full-stack, backend, infrastructure, or data) and can range across the others
Care about whether systems hold up in production
Know when to simplify, and you think about direction before speed
Low ego, direct, and hold yourself to a high bar
Can work hybrid out of our New York City office, or fully remote
