Staff Software Engineer, AI | Allconnect
This role requires a hybrid schedule and will be based in our Fort Mill, SC office (Tuesday through Thursday) and work fully remotely on Mondays and Fridays each week.

At Allconnect, we are evolving how software is built in an era where AI is no longer an add-on but a core capability. We are seeking an exceptional Staff Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of modern full-stack engineering, AI-driven development, and strategic technical leadership. In this role, you will push our core platforms forward — not just in code, but in how we think, build, and deliver software with AI at the center of the developer experience. You will be stepping into a role where your ideas shape how software is built, how teams collaborate, and how AI amplifies engineering outcomes.
This is not just about implementing features, it is about defining the future of software delivery at Allconnect and across Red Ventures.
What We’re Looking For:- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 1+ years operating at a Staff Engineer level or equivalent scope, with demonstrated ownership of highly available, scalable production systems.
- Deep expertise in modern full-stack development, including TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, GraphQL, SST/Terraform/Github Actions, and AWS. You have defined architectural patterns that promote resilience, scalability, observability, and long-term maintainability across teams.
- Proven experience establishing and elevating engineering standards across software architecture, SDLC practices, monitoring and observability, coding standards, and quality assurance. You do not just follow best practices. You define and model them.
- Hands-on technical leadership experience, including active pair programming, leading code and architecture reviews, mentoring senior engineers, and serving as a trusted technical escalation point without becoming a bottleneck
- Experience serving as a change agent in how software is built, including introducing AI-assisted development workflows or agentic frameworks that increase velocity and engineering leverage.
- A collaborative builder who thrives in environments that value experimentation, Agile development, intellectual curiosity, and shared ownership. You elevate the team’s culture as much as you elevate its systems
Drive AI-Enabled Technical Strategy and Execution
- Lead the design and implementation of scalable, resilient systems that set new standards for performance, reliability, and AI integration.
- Champion practical AI adoption by embedding AI-first development tools, automation, and workflows into everyday engineering practices.
- Translate strategic goals into technical direction, collaborating with engineering, product, and data leaders to shape roadmaps with measurable impact.
Architect and Elevate Platform Capabilities
- Serve as the senior technical driver across two critical initiatives, including an AI-enabled sales platform, partnering closely with other Staff Engineers to translate strategic vision into durable architecture and high-confidence execution.
- Own key architectural decisions across the stack, including React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS, ensuring teams understand the “why” and “how” behind technical choices.
- Define and promote scalable patterns and best practices that empower teams to deliver high-quality solutions with confidence.
- Balance innovation with pragmatic execution to build systems that serve today’s needs while anticipating tomorrow’s opportunities.
Enable Teams and Foster Technical Excellence
- Serve as a technical mentor and leader who elevates the bar for engineering craft, collaboration, and shared ownership.
- Partner with engineering managers and peers to unblock teams, establish healthy engineering practices, and accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
- Drive continuous improvement through design reviews, shared standards, and a learning culture that embraces experimentation and iteration.
Collaborate Across Boundaries to Shape Outcomes
- Act as a strategic partner to Product and Data, ensuring engineering insights influence what we build, not just how we build it.
- Work cross-functionally to surface risks, align priorities, and deliver solutions that balance customer value with technical excellence.
- Lead initiatives that require both deep technical judgment and effective collaboration across teams.
Compensation:
- Cash Compensation Range: $130,000 - $190,000 per year
