Staff Product Engineer

The Role:

• Own large slices of the system, end-to-end, including approach, implementation, and operation.
• Build the shared work graph and human-facing operating surface for the Beads Team Server.
• Host Gas City for agent orchestration, making what's running, stuck, and token-efficient visible.

How We Work:

• Run our own product on itself; Gas City factories write design docs, implement, and review PRs.
• Value leverage and quality over who typed the code; build learnings back into the product.
• Operate as factory operators, aiming to improve efficiency daily.

Technical Shape:

• Strong background in Go, with comfort in state, concurrency, and failure: transactions, idempotency, retries, reconciliation loops.
• Experience with storage engines, SQL, Dolt, Kubernetes, controllers, or reliability engineering.
• Follow problems through code, tests, review, and production; deep experience in one area is enough.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Salary range $180,000–$240,000 depending on experience, plus founding-engineer equity with standard vesting.
• Medical, dental, and vision fully covered for you and 50% for dependents; 401(k) starting Jan 1, 2027.
• Standard tech PTO plus holidays, home-office/equipment budget, and annual learning/conference budget.
