About the job
Why Join Moonshot AI?
Envision a web that autonomously transforms itself to enhance sales, improve conversions, and accelerate growth.
At Moonshot AI, we’re pioneering this future by integrating generative AI, extensive data processing, and innovative experimentation into a self-adaptive online ecosystem.
As a well-capitalized, early-stage startup with grand ambitions, your role here transcends that of a typical employee — you’ll actively contribute to shaping the company’s technical and cultural foundation. If you've ever aspired to have the freedom of a founder while being supported by elite investors, this opportunity is for you.
What You'll Create & Lead
In the position of Staff Software Engineer, you will serve as the technical cornerstone of Moonshot's evolution engine, responsible for designing scalable systems, steering engineering strategy, and mentoring your colleagues.
Your work will blend hands-on expertise with high-level architectural insight, transforming visionary ideas into technical realities.
You will:
- Innovate at the forefront of generative AI - develop systems that empower AI to autonomously reason, experiment, and implement tangible changes to the web.
- Architect the next generation of our experimental engine - ensuring it is scalable, observable, fault-tolerant, and capable of handling millions of daily events.
- Design and advance our backend infrastructure utilizing Python (Flask-RestX), serverless AWS, and various data pipelines (ClickHouse, Postgres, Kinesis, Firehose, S3).
- Lead technical strategy - establish our engineering principles and evolve the architecture across microservices, data ingestion, and LLM-driven systems.
- Mentor and uplift - enhance the skills of senior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, collaborative programming, and detailed design documentation.
- Collaborate across teams - partner with AI, product management, and data science to translate business objectives into robust systems.
- Prototype and expand boundaries - rapidly bring concepts to production while balancing experimentation with thoroughness.
- Enhance performance, security, and reliability as we scale towards SOC 2 certification and enterprise clientele.
This role emphasizes technical leadership without the responsibilities of people management: pure design, significant leverage, and complete ownership.
