About the Role

As a Staff Software Engineer at Pangram, you will build great product experiences for our users - both individuals and large organizations. You’ll work on a variety of different projects, from owning the product lifecycle from end-to-end to launching new features to designing, building, and scaling the production systems that serve our core technology to a rapidly growing user base. At Pangram, staff engineers are highly autonomous and are expected to take on ambitious levels of scope and ownership. Staff engineers at Pangram own major technical decisions, tackle our hardest scaling problems, and help shape the vision of our product and our infrastructure. This is also a hands-on, IC role, getting your hands dirty building software from end-to-end.

This is a full-time role, office-based in our Brooklyn office (5 days per week), reporting to our CTO.

What You'll Do

- Own and ship product features end-to-end in both consumer and B2B verticals.

- Work closely with GTM, Product, and Research functions to bring Pangram’s machine learning technology to polished user experiences

- Own the reliability, performance, and observability of production systems

- Turn design specs and prototypes into shippable, working products

- Review code and raise the quality bar for code across the company

- Establish and improve engineering best practices across the stack

Qualifications:

You are a strong fit for this role if you have:

- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering exceptional impact as an IC engineer across a wide range of product and engineering needs

- Strong Engineering experience in our technology stack:

- Python

- Front-End: Modern front-end frameworks (e.g. React, Next.js http://next.js, Typescript)

- Back-End: Proficiency in Python and Django (or comparable Python web frameworks); RESTful API design, relational databases, message queues, caching strategies, and asynchronous task processing

- Hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, CloudFront, Lambda)

- Comfort across the stack: front-end and back-end, with strength in either and at minimum comfort in the other.

- Fluency and comfort with AI coding tools and thoughtfulness around their use

- A strong sense of taste and craftsmanship, bias towards action, and clear communication skills

- Interest in AI, machine learning, and LLMs; including AI safety and responsible AI

Nice to Have

- Experience working at an early stage startup

- Experience with browser extensions

- Experience with mobile apps

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.
