[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer, AI Tools @Tigerdata

Role Description

This role is for a hands-on generalist who’s equally excited to:

• Build for our internal teams
• Create tools that help other developers build better agents and AI-native apps
• Be a builder from day one — no waiting for specs, no hiding behind process
• Work across internal and open-source projects
• Shape our approach to agent tooling
• Directly influence how modern dev teams build with AI

You’ll be responsible for:

• Building, maintaining, and improving internal AI tools that support teams across the company — from sales to support to engineering
• Creating and contributing to open-source tools that help AI developers build agents with PostgreSQL and TigerData
• Working closely with product, design, and other engineers to get from 0→1 fast — then ship improvements as we learn
• Making decisions quickly (and pivoting when needed)
• Bringing a product-minded lens to internal tools — your users might sit in the next Slack channel, but they deserve real UX

Qualifications

• Generalist engineer with 5+ years of experience
• Care about helping other developers build faster — you know a good DX is a force multiplier
• Have used AI in production — to build agents, automate workflows, or prototype fast
• Solid backend skills (Go, Python, Postgres, etc.), but can jump into frontend if needed
• Like to move quickly, take ownership, and figure things out without a 20-page brief
• Curious, humble, and default to action

Requirements

• Need heavy structure and long timelines to do your best work
• Avoid ambiguous problems or early-stage codebases
• Prefer specializing deeply over shipping broadly
• Don’t feel comfortable learning and adapting on the fly — especially with AI workflows
• Prefer to build alone vs. collaborate with product, internal teams, or external devs

Benefits

• Flexible PTO and comprehensive family leave
• Fridays off in August
• Fully remote opportunities globally
• Stock options for long-term growth
• Monthly WiFi stipend
• Professional development and educational resources
• Premium insurance options for you and your family (US-based employees)
