Senior Staff Software Engineer
Astroum AIAbout the role
The Senior Staff Software Engineer will lead the design and implementation of core systems that power BRAHMO One, including high-scale back-end services and context orchestration layers. This full-time, on-site role in the San Francisco Bay Area involves owning technical architecture decisions, setting engineering standards, and driving complex projects from concept through production. Day-to-day responsibilities include writing high-quality production code, reviewing and mentoring the work of other engineers, and collaborating closely with product, research, and customer teams to translate real-world workflows into robust technical solutions. The person in this role will diagnose and resolve performance and reliability issues, contribute to long-term technical roadmaps, and help evolve the platform to integrate with diverse AI models and enterprise environments. They will also play a key role in shaping engineering culture, promoting best practices in testing, observability, security, and documentation.
Qualifications
Strong foundation in Computer Science, including algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, and systems design.
Deep experience in Back-End Web Development and Software Development, building reliable, scalable, and secure services and APIs.
Advanced Programming skills using modern languages (such as Python, Go, Java, or similar) and familiarity with development tooling and CI/CD workflows.
Expertise in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and patterns, and the ability to design maintainable, modular architectures.
Prior experience in senior or staff-level engineering roles, leading technical initiatives and mentoring other engineers.
Experience integrating with AI/ML systems or data platforms, or strong interest in applied AI and knowledge management products.
Comfort working in fast-paced startup environments, with the ability to take ownership, make informed trade-offs, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience; graduate-level education is a plus.

About Astroum AI
Every AI session your team uses starts blank. Your best associate has fifteen years of client context in her head. Your CTO made two hundred architecture decisions last year. Your senior partner knows exactly why the 2019 approach failed. None of it reaches the AI tool your team opens every morning — so they re-explain their world from zero, every single time. BRAHMO One is the knowledge layer that ends that. It sits above whatever AI your team already uses and hands it your organization's context before anyone types a word. The AI arrives already knowing who you are, what you've decided, and what must never be violated. Not a chatbot. Not another tool to migrate into. A layer underneath the ones you already have. Who it's built for Professional services — law firms, tax and advisory, consulting, healthcare practices. When a partner leaves, the context stays. Software teams — engineering groups of 10 to 200. Decisions get preserved. Onboarding stops being a three-week verbal handoff. Power users — operators and investors running five to ten domains at once, who need one AI that treats their world as a single connected system. Why it's different Every AI product you know is reactive: you ask, it answers. BRAHMO is the opposite. Before you ask, the context is already assembled. Patent-filed. Bring your own AI model — it works with the tools your team has already chosen, not against them. AI that understands your world. astroum.ai
