Staff Software Engineer
About the role
About AiPrise
AiPrise is building a modern compliance platform for global businesses: KYB, KYC, risk, and AI-assisted compliance workflows, designed to be fast, reliable, and easy to use.
Compliance is usually slow, manual, and fragmented across vendors and spreadsheets. We are building the system teams actually want: strong data, great UX, clean APIs, and automation that drives real outcomes.
Who this role is for
We are looking for an extremely hungry Tech Lead who wants:
High ownership and high impact
The chance to build new product surfaces end-to-end
The opportunity to level up the team by setting a high engineering bar
A fast-moving environment where quality and correctness matter
If you want a narrow role limited to planning and meetings, this will not be it. This is a hands-on Tech Lead role.
What you will do
Lead a squad and own delivery for a product area from roadmap to execution
Drive technical design for frontend and backend systems, and make the right tradeoffs
Stay hands-on by shipping critical parts of the stack yourself
Raise engineering quality through reviews, patterns, testing, and best practices
Mentor engineers and help them grow faster through clear feedback and guidance
Partner with Product and Design to simplify complex compliance workflows into great UX
Improve foundations: performance, reliability, observability, security, and cost efficiency
What we are looking for
6 to 10+ years of experience building production software
Strong full-stack fundamentals: APIs, data modeling, UI architecture, performance, debugging
Proven ownership: you have led projects end-to-end and shipped to production
You can balance speed with quality and make pragmatic decisions under ambiguity
Strong communication and ability to drive alignment across engineering and product
Nice to have
React and TypeScript, and Python (Flask or FastAPI) or Node.js
Strong SQL and Postgres experience
Experience in fintech, compliance, fraud, risk, workflow systems, or B2B SaaS
Experience building internal tools used by ops teams every day
Why AiPrise
High ownership from day one, with real autonomy
Small team, high talent density, fast iteration cycles
Direct impact on trust, fraud prevention, and onboarding speed
Clear growth path into Staff, Engineering Manager, or domain owner roles
