Senior Staff Engineer, AMP

The Application Modernization Platform (AMP) team is tackling one of the industry's most critical challenges: leveraging Generative AI to transform rigid, legacy applications into modern, microservices-based architectures powered by MongoDB.

We are building a comprehensive, SaaS-like platform, encompassing both the "brain" (multi-agent reasoning and orchestration) and the "hands" (the deployment platform and modernization toolset). This solution requires a robust platform foundation and infrastructure designed for a "build once, run anywhere" model, ensuring seamless operation regardless of a client's security or network constraints. A key challenge is balancing the need to tune our tools for each customer's unique tech stack and restrictive environments with making them easily extensible and scalable for common application modernization challenges.

We seek an engineering leader for this high-visibility initiative. This role requires defining the high-level strategy and technical direction across all AMP engineering pillars, leading the execution of solving uniquely complex application modernization puzzles, and delivering an enterprise-grade product. The leader will minimize deployment friction, meet customer compliance requirements, and help shape the future of how global enterprises leverage GenAI.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader who excels at leveraging GenAI capabilities, architecting complex distributed systems, and designing the orchestration agents necessary to reliably and fluidly run the entire software development lifecycle.

This role will be based in North America's West Coast (PST), and offers a hybrid working model.

The ideal candidate for this role will have

• 10+ years of software development and operations experience, with a focus on building platforms and distributable software infrastructure
• Deep experience in building data warehouses and core components for data processing systems
• Have experience in using GenAI in building complex large-scale systems, and know what GenAI is best suited to do
• Understanding of security-first design, specifically regarding the execution of untrusted code, fine-grain access control, and rigorous input validation
• 2+ years of experience leading, coaching, and mentoring a team of engineers to achieve high-impact results
• Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills and a strong desire to collaborate cross-functions
• Excellent time and project management skills including the ability to make realistic assessments of project cost and complexity
• Curiosity, a positive attitude, and a drive to continue learning, in particular building AI skillset
