[Remote] Staff Software Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Greylock Partners is an early-stage investor backing category-defining companies, including a next-generation cybersecurity company building AI agents for autonomous security workflows. The Staff Software Engineer will serve as the foundational frontend engineer, owning the frontend platform architecture, design system, developer experience, and AI-powered product interfaces while establishing scalable engineering practices and mentoring future team members.

Responsibilities

• Own the entire frontend platform from the ground up
• Define the architecture, frameworks, and tooling that every engineer after you builds on
• Build the core design system, reusable component libraries, state management layer, and APIs that set the standard for how the team ships product
• Work directly with design and product to turn complex security workflows into simple interfaces — prioritizing speed and flexibility over polish in the early stages
• Design and deliver high-impact features that seamlessly integrate AI-powered capabilities, ensuring clarity, usability, and reliability for customers navigating massive amounts of security data
• Establish the testing, performance, and maintainability practices that keep the codebase production-ready as the team scales
• As the first frontend hire, you'll set the bar for technical excellence and mentor future engineers into the culture you helped create

Skills

• You've done this before — ideally at an early-stage company or a new product line where you had to build the foundation, not just build on one
• You've operated at the Staff+ level (Staff, Senior Staff, or Principal) at some point in your career
• You have deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern build tooling and web application architecture
• You think in systems, not just features — you get energy from building the abstractions and infrastructure that make other engineers faster
• You have a strong background in frontend infrastructure: component libraries, build systems, state management, and performance optimization
• You're pragmatic: you know when to architect for scale and when to ship something that works today
• You move with urgency because you understand that at this stage, velocity is a competitive advantage
• You care deeply about engineering craftsmanship; code quality, attention to detail, and thoughtful design aren't afterthoughts for you

Benefits

• Open to remote, with offices in San Francisco and New York.
