[Hiring] Principal Engineer, Agentic AI @Steer

Role Description

We're growing our world-class engineering team to usher our CRM platform into the next generation of software — and we're looking for a Principal Engineer, Agentic AI to join our Core Platform Team.

Most Lead roles at "Big Tech" companies involve maintaining a single microservice or acting as a small cog in a 100-person machine. At Steer, you aren't just a contributor; you are the architect of a platform aiming for 100% market dominance. This is a high-impact role for someone who doesn't just write great code, but who can see around corners, challenge conventions, and lead entire products from vision to launch.

We are actively refactoring our existing teams to be agentic-first — meaning our engineers don't just use AI as a tool, they architect systems around autonomous, AI-driven workflows. This is not a future initiative; it is how we build today.

We’re looking for builders who bring exceptional focus, ownership, and commitment to their work. At Steer, we want engineers who are “all in” on our mission, fully engaged with their work, and invested in our shared success. This means making Steer your primary professional focus and bringing the dedication and accountability needed to deliver exceptional results.

• Hands-on experience integrating AI tooling into CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency with both relational and NoSQL databases, including schema design and query optimization.
• Exceptional communication skills.

Requirements

• The “All-In” Mindset: Exceptional pride in work, high standards, and full ownership of projects.
• AI & LLM Integration: Experience using AI to bridge gaps and accelerate development.
• Database Expertise: Proficiency with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.

Benefits

• Equity Options: Own a piece of the company's success.
• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere in the US.
• 100% Employer-Paid Medical Insurance.
• Flexible PTO: With a 15-day minimum.
