Job Description

Senior Staff Engineer – Colorado Startup

About the Opportunity

Join an elite, venture-backed team building next-generation, AI-powered collaboration tools for the enterprise.

Technical Integrity has been retained to lead the search for a rapidly growing startup developing AI systems that improve how large organizations think, communicate, and make decisions. Their product uses cutting-edge AI to identify and resolve coordination gaps automatically — helping teams operate more intelligently and efficiently at scale.

Following a recent and substantial round of funding, the company is expanding its world-class engineering team in Colorado and beyond.

Open Engineering Roles

  • Staff Engineer (10+ years experience)
  • Senior Staff Software Engineer (15+ years experience or high trajectory with 7+ years)
  • Principal Software Engineer (20+ years experience)
  • Infrastructure Specialist (Kubernetes, distributed systems, and cloud expertise)

Exceptional engineers with at least 7 years of experience and a record of rapid advancement are also encouraged to apply.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and implement core systems for an AI-powered enterprise collaboration platform.
  • Define, design, and deliver innovative solutions in distributed systems, backend logic, and AI integration.
  • Lead hands-on coding while setting technical direction across a small, senior team.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and AI research peers to shape both strategy and implementation.
  • Ensure infrastructure reliability, scalability, and security through modern cloud and Kubernetes technologies.
  • Work with other Senior Staff Engineers to foster a culture of technical excellence, autonomy, and curiosity.
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Top 20% Engineer : Strong analytical ability, judgment, and breadth of experience. You think from first principles and have a track record of solving complex, real-world problems.
  • Hands-On Builder : You’re happiest writing code and shipping production systems — not just managing others.
  • Self-Directed & Autonomous : You thrive in a lightly structured environment, decomposing ambiguous problems and independently driving them to completion.
  • Backend & Systems Focused : Most work centers on backend and business logic development, integrating with tools like Slack and Google Docs. Frontend experience is helpful but not central.
  • Startup & Enterprise Experience : You balance startup agility with enterprise-scale thinking and rigor.
  • Smart, Not Hard : You work efficiently and sustainably, typically producing exceptional results within a 45–50 hour workweek.
  • AI & LLM Curiosity : You’re excited by building in an AI-native environment , leveraging Claude Code and other LLM-assisted tools to enhance development velocity and creativity.
  • Collaborative & Solution-Oriented : You communicate thoughtfully, contribute positively to discussions, and pair every critique with a constructive solution.
  • How We Work

  • We value leverage over brute force — working smart, not long hours. Engineers are trusted to define their own work, prioritize high-impact projects, and deliver results with minimal oversight.
  • The team collaborates through lightweight, peer-driven conversations rather than rigid sprint cycles or daily standups. You’ll work alongside senior peers solving challenging systems problems in a small, high-trust team where every hire makes a visible impact.
  • This is an environment for creative, disciplined problem solvers who thrive in freedom and accountability.
  • Technical Environment

    Our stack and approach emphasize :

  • AI-native development using Claude Code and LLM-assisted tools.
  • Work at the bleeding edge of containerization, MCP, and distributed systems .
  • A modern, cloud-first infrastructure built on Kubernetes .
  • High-impact autonomy : engineers research, design, and deliver major systems end-to-end.
  • Interview Process

    We’ve designed a focused process that balances technical rigor with respect for candidates’ time.

  • Step 1 : Introductory conversation with Technical Integrity.
  • Step 2 : Real-world coding exercise (typically ~4 hours).
  • This is the main part of our interview process and replaces multiple rounds.
  • It reflects our AI-native environment and requires use of Claude Code and modern containerization tools.
  • Candidates often find it a valuable preview of what day-to-day work feels like here.
  • Step 3 : Three collaborative interviews with engineering leadership.
  • This process gives both sides a deep sense of technical fit and working style.

    Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity packages.
  • Recent offers for comparable roles have ranged from $185,000–$250,000 base , plus signing bonuses and equity stakes.
  • Flexible work arrangements — Colorado-based (preference for Denver / Boulder).
  • Opportunity to collaborate with world-class technical peers on groundbreaking AI systems.
  • Application Process

    To apply, please contact Technical Integrity with your resume and a concise statement of interest.

    We value transparency, prompt feedback, and a respectful candidate experience throughout.

    If you’re a senior software engineer or principal technologist who thrives on autonomy, deep technical challenges, and building at the frontier of AI-assisted engineering — we’d love to hear from you.
