The posting

About the role:

Curri is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join the Technology team as a technical leader who helps set the direction for how we build at scale. You'll operate across many projects at once — reviewing architecture, unblocking teams, and shaping the systems everyone else builds on top of. You'll still write code and ship features yourself, but a growing share of your impact comes from the technical judgment, mentorship, and architectural direction you bring to other engineers' work. Curri runs last-mile logistics for national retailers and industrial suppliers across the US, and this role is central to keeping our systems reliable and scalable as we grow, while raising the technical bar for the whole team.

What you will do:

- Architect and guide the design of scalable, long-lasting systems, partnering with multiple teams to make sure new work fits into a coherent technical strategy rather than one-off solutions.

- Lead architecture reviews and design discussions across several projects at once, providing the technical judgment call that individual teams may not have the context or seniority to make alone.

- Unblock other engineers — jump into gnarly technical problems, debug hard issues, and clear the path when a team is stuck, even on projects you aren't formally leading.

- Stay hands-on: ship production code yourself on a regular basis, using AI tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude for design and code review) as fluently as anyone on the team, and set the standard for what excellent AI-paired delivery looks like.

- Mentor engineers at every level, from those building foundational skills to senior engineers growing into technical leadership — you're a multiplier for the people around you, not just the code you personally write.

- Identify systemic risks and technical debt before they become a crisis, and drive the cross-team investment needed to fix them.

- Partner directly with engineering leadership, PMs, and other Staff/Senior engineers to translate business priorities into technical roadmaps.

What you need to have:

- 8+ years of experience building production software, including a track record of owning architecture and technical direction beyond a single team or project.

- Demonstrated experience leading system design for scalable, reliable production infrastructure — not just building features, but deciding how systems should be built.

- Full-stack range and enough depth in backend systems (TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Redis, NATS) and/or UI (React, React Native) to be credible in architecture reviews across the stack.

- Fluency with AI-paired delivery (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent agents) and the judgment to know where AI accelerates a team and where it needs a human check, plus the ability to coach others on using it well.

- A demonstrated pattern of mentorship: engineers you've worked with can point to specific ways you helped them grow.

- Strong, direct communication — you can explain a complex architectural tradeoff to an engineer, a PM, and a member of leadership, each in the terms that matter to them.

- Comfort operating with influence rather than authority: you get teams to adopt your technical direction through trust and clarity, not through a reporting line.

Bonus points for:

- Experience scaling a system through a significant growth inflection point (10x traffic, a major re-architecture, a platform migration) and can speak to what you'd do differently.

- A track record of identifying an underlying systemic problem (not just a symptom) and driving the fix across multiple teams.

- Experience setting technical standards or practices around AI-paired development that other engineers went on to adopt.

- Prior experience as a tech lead, staff engineer, or architect at a fast-moving startup.

What is in it for you?

- A role built for engineers who want architectural and technical leadership impact without leaving hands-on coding behind.

- Influence over the technical direction of Curri's systems at a company where the technology bar is still actively being raised.

- A genuinely AI-forward engineering culture where Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Bedrock are in daily use, with the opportunity to shape what great AI-paired delivery looks like across the org.

- Competitive salary, equity compensation, and comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401K).

- Remote-friendly with flexibility, or based at HQ in Ventura, CA.

- A high-growth, mission-driven environment where your technical decisions have direct and lasting impact.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
