Wheel - Staff Software Engineer, AI-Native Systems
Requirements
• 8+ years building and operating production software, with meaningful full-stack depth across a TypeScript/Node.js backend and at least one other language (Python strongly preferred). • A track record of technical leadership as an individual contributor: owning a domain, leading multi-engineer efforts to completion, and driving decisions across team boundaries without positional authority. • Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic systems in production — retrieval, orchestration, tool/function calling, and evaluation — with a clear-eyed view of where LLMs and agents work and where they don't. • Demonstrated ability to take a loosely defined problem and drive it to a shipped, measured, agent-powered workflow. • A working practice of using AI development tools as a force multiplier, with judgment about when to trust, verify, or override them. • Strong cloud-native engineering fundamentals; comfort with CI/CD, observability, and running what you build. • Fluency with relational data and SQL. • Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to write a design doc that changes minds. This is a remote, cross-functional role. • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping measurable results. • Strongly desired • Strongly desired • Experience with agent frameworks and multi-agent architectures at production scale. • Model evaluation and guardrail infrastructure — measuring output quality, catching regressions, keeping agents inside safe bounds. • Experience building platform capabilities consumed by other engineering teams. • Background in workflow automation, forecasting-driven products, or supply-demand matching. • Prior work in a regulated environment (healthcare/HIPAA, fintech, etc.) and an instinct for the constraints that come with using AI on sensitive data. • Experience mentoring engineers or acting as a formal tech lead. • How we work • How we work • Remote-first (US), fast-moving, tight loops between engineering, product, and the business. We're an AI-forward engineering org — we expect AI in the toolchain and in the product, and we measure outcomes over activity. We handle sensitive healthcare data under strict controls; privacy, security, and responsible use of AI are engineering requirements here, not afterthoughts.
