Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of back-end software engineering experience
- Deep experience architecting multi-tenant SaaS and distributed systems at scale
- Expert PostgreSQL knowledge, including schema design, performance tuning, and tenancy isolation
- Strong API design skills, with hands-on experience or clear depth building tool surfaces for agents (MCP or similar)
- Expert in Java and proficient in Python or TypeScript, with a record of making and defending language and framework choices
- A track record of turning an idea into a pilot and then a product, and the judgment to know when to kill one
- Architected a system that is still running in production at scale
- AI-Native Product Engineering: Proven ability to use AI coding tools and agents to rapidly build, evaluate, and ship end-to-end products. Candidates will complete a hands-on, AI-assisted product-building interview to demonstrate their ability to direct AI tools, validate generated code, and make sound architectural trade-offs across inference infrastructure and user-facing application delivery
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to architect and build the services behind new products incubated in our product pods
- In this role, you will own back-end architecture for multi-tenant SaaS products from first pilot through production scale, make and defend the language and framework calls for each new product, and design the APIs and tool surfaces that let AI agents work with our data
- This is a hands-on role: you will write code, ship pilots, and set the technical bar for the engineers around you
- Architect multi-tenant SaaS and distributed back-end systems that scale with customer and data growth
- Design PostgreSQL schemas, query patterns, and tenancy isolation models built for performance and security
- Build well-structured APIs and expose product capabilities as tool surfaces for AI agents using MCP or similar protocols
- Make and defend language and framework decisions for new pod products, balancing speed to pilot with long-term maintainability
- Take new product ideas from concept to pilot to product, and make the call to stop work that isn’t earning its place
- Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, mentoring, and hiring
Our take
The growing constellations of satellites delivering high definition earth imaging, along with advancements in AI, have spawned a flourishing business in ‘digital twins’ for global asset management. These digital data-compilation copies of on-the-ground locations can be used to help predict and mitigate the effects of climate disaster events - which cost the US billions of dollars each year.
AiDash’s various products help manage disaster, disruption and wildfires, as well as monitoring vegetation. The latter service, its original one, has a host of high-profile global clients, such as National Grid. The company's expansion into climate resilience demonstrates a keen awareness of both its tech's potential and the direction of the market - with environmental issues becoming even more of a hot topic in recent years.
The company has done well to prove its agility, which may well enable it to stay ahead of more specified rivals as they enter the scene. This includes companies like Kettle and Technosylva which operate in the predictive climate analytics space. AiDash's comparatively diverse offering should help it retain a competitive edge, while the substantial funding it has secured supports the pursuit of heightened global expansion.
