About this role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with 4-8 years of experience to join a small, high-impact engineering team building the future of AI-powered customer research. Dialogue AI is a seed-stage company backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners that already counts Meta, Google, Wayfair, and TikTok as customers — and recently won all of Google's research business. You'll work full stack across product, AI, and infrastructure, owning projects end-to-end from design through delivery. We need someone who is a strong communicator, product-minded, and hungry to ship fast in a customer-obsessed environment.
What will you be doing?
- Own and lead projects end-to-end — from design doc to implementation to customer delivery — across the full stack (frontend, backend, database, and AI)
- Wear a product hat alongside engineering: contribute to product decisions, design discussions, and directly communicate with customers about what you're building
- Build and iterate on AI-powered features at the application layer, including working with LLMs, running evals, and leveraging AI coding tools daily
- Collaborate closely with a founding team of ~6 engineers, a CPO, and a designer in a fast-paced, low-meeting environment with weekly Monday syncs
- Help shape engineering culture and technical architecture as the company scales toward a Series A
