Principal / Staff Full Stack Engineer Product Engineer

Principal/Staff Full Stack Engineer

Flatfile is full of builders driven by a dual desire to make cool stuff and create tangible value. We pride ourselves in obsessing over the details but also grounding our decision-making and pace in whether we’re doing what’s in the best interest of our end users.


This is an exciting role because it sits at the nexus of everything we’re doing at Flatfile. Whether it’s leveraging AI to transform data, optimizing the performance of our data engine, or building new collaborative features into our workflow product, this role has a broad scope.


This role reports to: Jon Bell, VP of Product


This role may be listed at other companies as:

- Lead Full Stack Engineer

- Staff Software Engineer

- Principal Software Engineer


Why are we hiring for this role now?

Flatfile is a post-product market fit startup with rapidly accelerating growth, tons of runway, a lean, hungry, and sharp team playing for a huge outcome. We’re closing massive enterprise deals and evolving our platform quickly to scale with the growing demand. We have an ambitious roadmap ahead of us and need someone excited to lead the charge on many of these customer-impacting projects.


We want you to be a part of this.


In this role, you can expect to:
  • Own feature delivery from solution design to production scale
  • Design and build backend services that power new features.
  • Work with the team to reimagine manual data transformations as code-first AI-powered product experiences.
  • Improve usability through refined micro-interactions and interface design, as well as developing AI-powered features to assist users in managing, analyzing, and resolving data issues.
  • Develop product to handle increasingly complex data structures found across various enterprise use cases.
  • Work with the design team to refine the user experience to achieve world-class fit and finish.
  • Implement strategies to minimize data mapping errors, improve data accuracy, and establish performance benchmarks to ensure exceptional system performance 
  • Share responsibility for responding to critical incidents as needed. Like all other teams, we are responsible for the reliability of the systems we build.
  • Contribute to, enable, and implement new AI models and features in partnership with our Applied AI team.

If this sounds like a fun challenge, let’s define the Data Exchange category together!


Consider applying if:
  • 7+ years experience in a production environment, with significant contributions to the design, architecture, and optimization of distributed systems.
  • Expertise in frontend and backend technologies, specifically React, Node, Postgres, and Redis (or confidence you could scale to proficiency quickly)
  • Demonstrated capability to innovate and optimize at the system level.
  • Led all phases of software development, including ideation, product specification, prototyping, designing, and implementation. This role has a mix of both hands-on development as well as lead/architecture work.
  • A proven track record of raising the bar for technical standards, performance, reliability, and operational excellence.


While a lot of Engineering roles are similar, Flatfile’s Engineering roles are unique. With that in mind, you should pass on applying if:
  • You don’t want to decide on the best-paved road to build for Flatfile and expect a lead or manager to make the final call on what that is. Our leads (and managers) give plenty of commentary and feedback on decisions and how they’re made, but you ship what you want to build and are accountable for it.
  • You refrain from engaging in or find it challenging to handle debates about the future state of products; we need someone who can have an opinion yet remain open-minded.
  • You would prefer to avoid challenging the status quo or pushing the boundaries of technical possibilities, as this role demands continuous learning and adaptation to new technologies.
  • You’ve never worked in a fast-paced environment. We move quickly. And a lot of places say that, but trust us, we really do. If you’re one who gets frustrated when priorities change rapidly, we’re not the place for you.


In accordance with applicable law, the following represents Flatfile's reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation for this role if hired in Colorado.


Salary: $190,000 - $220,000 annually

Equity: this role is eligible to participate in Flatfile's equity plan
