Staff Software Engineer (AI Tooling)
About the role
Greylock has a history of creating and investing in category-defining companies in the enterprise. We're privileged to invest in a startup focused on a vital developer tool for the evolving AI product landscape.
Like other successful tools such as Datadog, a seamless, intuitive, high-performing user experience will be vital to this company's success.
We are looking for a software engineer who excels at creating fast, reliable, and user-friendly web applications. Given the product's data-rich nature, experience with complex data visualization layouts would be a highly valuable asset.
The ideal candidate will have at least 3 years of industry experience and expert-level proficiency in front-end technologies, particularly TypeScript, D3, React, HTML, and CSS. Experience in founding or working at startups is a major plus, as it demonstrates adaptability, a startup mindset, and experience with rapid iteration and growth. Familiarity with GPT models, including writing prompts or experimenting with AI-powered applications, is also a valued skill, showing a strong interest in emerging technologies and hands-on experience with AI-driven tools.

About Greylock Partners
Greylock was founded in 1965, one of the few venture firms that predates Silicon Valley. We invest selectively and partner deeply with the founders we back. Each partner takes on only one to two new investments a year because the work requires depth. We bring the full attention, network, and resources of Greylock to every partnership. Across more than 100 IPOs and over 250 acquisitions, we have partnered with generational companies including Airbnb, Figma, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Palo Alto Networks. Many defining companies were built inside our own offices before they had a name. Today, AI has made the map blank again. We believe many of the defining companies of this era have yet to be built. We are builders backing outliers, aiming to be a founder’s first believer and long-term partner.
