Staff Software Engineer

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
