Staff Software Engineer

About the role

We're growing our SF engineering hub and hiring a Staff Engineer to be a technical leader here. You'll own key product areas, set architecture and quality bars, and support growing an elite team. We are in unprecedented times and in startups, this role is truly unbounded as to what you can accomplish.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical direction: set architecture, reliability, and performance standards; make trade-offs explicit; keep the bar high.
• Build & mentor a team: hire great engineers, level them up, and create a high-trust, high-feedback culture.
• Work directly with our customers: translate messy, high-leverage problems into shippable work; measure outcomes.
• Own critical systems end-to-end:
• Partner across SF & Dublin: tight loops with product/design/GTM; share context and push decisions over the line.
• What success looks like
• 3 months : You've shipped one meaningful product to customers, enabled GTM, recorded and ran demos for our VIP customers, troubleshooted key customer issues, shared early observations of strategic investments to be made.
• 6 months : You've operationalized a small product pod in SF, mentoring 1-2 engineers, helping grow revenue in key customer accounts, helping shape our roadmap, improved a key service and raised the bar for how engineering work is done in Solidroad.
• 12 months : You make people around you force multipliers: faster iteration, happier customers, cleaner architecture, wins we can publish and you know our customer base inside out.
• Our Team & Culture
• We hope you
• Have at least 4 years of engineering experience, ideally at a startup (Series A to C), where you've helped ship complex, customer-facing products.
• Bring strong technical leadership, including experience mentoring other engineers, leading technical decisions, or architecting significant product areas.
• Have deep expertise in modern web technologies, product architecture, or AI integrations-bonus points if you've worked on notable or challenging projects we can explore together.
• The good, the bad, and the honest truth

About Solidroad Building something great is addictive. It's like discovering your favorite TV show mid-season, except you're helping write the next episode. It's like unboxing a new gadget, except you're the one designing it. You shape how it feels, how it works, and how people react when they use it. At Solidroad we're solving a big, messy, exciting problem: how do you scale customer support without losing what makes humans amazing? Warmth, empathy, intuition. We're using AI, generative tech, and real-time simulations to make this happen. It's ambitious, difficult, and genuinely new.
