Staff Software Engineer - AI Team

About the position Treasure AI is the agentic experience platform built to acquire, retain, and grow your most valuable customers. Powered by AI, Treasure AI is shaped by human creativity and always-on through continuous, context-driven action. Treasure AI employees are enthusiastic, data-driven, and customer-obsessed. We are a team of drivers—self-starters who take initiative, anticipate needs, and proactively jump in to solve problems. Our actions reflect our values of honesty, reliability, openness, and humility.\n\nStaff Software Engineers at Treasure AI are pod leads — player-coaches who remain active contributors while setting the technical and process standards for their 3–4 person delivery pod. You own customer-facing AI product surfaces and the internal developer tooling that supports them, end to end. We're looking for engineers who believe AI fundamentally changes how great software gets built — and are ready to make that the standard for an entire pod. Success looks like a healthy, high-velocity pod that ships valuable features consistently, owns what it builds, and is always pushing the frontier — re-imagining how software gets built with AI, whether that means adopting new tools or building custom ones where off-the-shelf falls short. Responsibilities Remain a hands-on contributor: write, review, and ship production code in Ruby/Rails and TypeScript/React alongside your podChampion AI adoption within the pod and beyond — run experiments with emerging tools, build custom AI-assisted tooling where it creates leverage, translate what works into team-wide standards for agentic coding patterns, and share discoveries with the broader engineering groupHold the architectural bar: review design decisions, flag systemic risks, and drive full-stack ownership so the pod controls its features end to endOversee quality across FE, BE, and QA — from logic design through production deliveryGuide the team through 3-week timebox planning, helping decompose complex backlog items into shippable incrementsMonitor the Kanban board daily; identify and clear blockers before they stall progressKeep the team focused on iterative progress and early production learning rather than over-engineeringRepresent the pod in weekly cross-pod lead syncs; surface dependencies and coordinate with other pod leadsTranslate backlog priority changes into clear execution direction for the teamManage pod capacity thoughtfully — balance incoming work streams while protecting team healthLead on-call rotations for the pod; build a culture of proactive operational ownershipDrive the pod to use AI to ship faster without trading away quality — establish team norms around AI-assisted code, tests, and documentation, and continuously raise the bar as new tools emergeInvest in the growth of every pod member — through rigorous code reviews, pairing, and direct feedback that builds capability across the team, not just catches bugsFoster a culture of shared ownership over siloed ownershipRequirements 7+ years of software engineering experience with a strong full-stack track recordDeep proficiency in Ruby/Rails and TypeScript/ReactDemonstrated experience leading a small engineering team or serving as a technical leadAdvanced fluency with AI coding tools; experience setting team-wide patterns for their use (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot)Strong architectural instincts: ability to make and defend system-level design decisionsProven ability to balance hands-on coding with coordination and mentorship responsibilitiesDemonstrated experience coordinating across teams — surfacing dependencies, managing shared priorities, and aligning with peer leadsExperience facilitating Agile/Kanban practices — timebox planning, backlog refinement, retrospectivesBenefits Competitive compensation packagesRestricted Stock Units (RSU)Paid vacation and sick timePaid volunteer and mental health daysUp to 26 weeks paid parental leave including a post-partum night nurse16 Company holidays (includes 2 floating holidays)RRSP with 6% company matchEmployer provided Supplemental medical, dental, disability & life coverageComprehensive support and access to care for everyone, everywhere through Carrot - our global reproductive health and family-building benefit
