Job summary

interface.ai in San Francisco is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help define the technical direction for systems powering our AI products. You will collaborate with the VP of Engineering, CTO, and CEO in a hands-on, in-person environment where shipping is the scoreboard.

This role targets an engineer who balances speed with reliability, ships production-grade systems, and mentors others while guiding architecture and implementation across backend and frontend components.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production-grade systems.
• A portfolio of work you led, with design decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes.
• BS/BA in Computer Science; graduate degree a plus.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of platform services — scalable, observable, and maintainable systems that power our AI products.
• Own technical decisions end-to-end: architecture, APIs, data models, performance, and security.
• Build backend systems in TypeScript and Python; shape frontend experiences in JavaScript.
• Drive the integration of LLM-based and agentic AI capabilities into production systems — this is applied AI engineering, not research.
• Define and enforce engineering standards: code review, testing strategies, deployment practices, and incident response.
• Embed AI-native tooling (Claude Code, Cursor) into daily workflow and help the team improve.
• Work side-by-side with product, design, and data — in the office, in real time, every day.
