Staff Software Engineer, Transform
AI Summary
Staff Software Engineer on the Transform team at FloQast designs and delivers the core platform for an AI-driven accounting automation hub, architecting distributed systems and visual workflow builders while mentoring senior engineers.
About this role
What You'll Do
Architecting the Future: You will design and deliver the core platform capabilities that power FloQast Transform and the next generation of AI-driven workflows. You’ll own the "big picture," ensuring our distributed systems, AI Agent infrastructure, and visual workflow builders are scalable, resilient, and elegant.
Technical Strategy & Excellence: You’ll lead the high-level design discussions that resolve complex trade-offs. By establishing rigorous engineering best practices, you raise the floor and the ceiling for our technical standards across our automation ecosystem.
Cross-Functional Partnership: You’ll act as the bridge between "what’s possible" and "what’s needed," partnering deeply with Product and Design to translate ambiguous business goals into executable technical roadmaps for intuitive, agentic accounting automation.
Multiplier of Talent: Your success is measured by the growth of those around you. You will mentor senior engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical curiosity and high-performance execution.
What You'll Bring
The Veteran’s Perspective: 10+ years of experience shipping complex, enterprise-grade software. You’ve seen systems succeed and fail, and you know how to navigate the lifecycle of a maturing platform.
Technical Mastery: You are an expert in modern backend stacks—specifically Go, Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS. You think in terms of APIs, platform-first design, scalable workflow orchestration, and secure, compliant SaaS architectures.
Outcome-Driven Mindset: You possess a strong product intuition. You don’t build for the sake of complexity; you build to drive business impact, solve real customer pain points, and empower accounting teams to automate rules-based workflows.
Navigational Skill: You are comfortable in the "grey areas." You can take a napkin-sketch idea and turn it into a production-ready reality through influence and technical clarity.
