[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer @Wand Synthesis AI Inc

Role Description

Governance is one of Wand's core products: the AI and agentic engines that reason over messy, non-deterministic organizational data to catch policy violations, flag risk, and surface what humans actually need to see. As AI agents take on real work inside an organization, someone has to set the rules, run the checks, and make sure everything stays safe and compliant, and governance is how Wand makes that possible at scale. The systems underneath are deep in AI, agents, and knowledge graphs, but governance has almost no dedicated front-end depth right now, and that is the single biggest gap we need to close. All of that intelligence is only as valuable as the surfaces that let a human see it, trust it, and act on it.

We're hiring a frontend-focused full-stack engineer to own the governance product's front-end end to end:

• Turning non-deterministic agent output, risk signals, and complex organizational relationships into interfaces people can actually understand and act on.
• Deciding what's good and what needs rethinking, then building it.
• Getting real architectural ownership, not just execution, on a small, remote-first, high-trust, senior-heavy team.

Qualifications

• Strong front-end fundamentals: you know the basics cold and can make real architectural calls, not just implement someone else's design.
• Real product and UX sense: good taste, ideally built for real end users on a genuine product, with the judgment to make complex, information-dense workflows feel clear and trustworthy.
• A track record of turning complex or ambiguous data into clear, usable interfaces: dashboards, review and triage flows, visualizations, or similar.
• Comfortable across the stack: solid grasp of backend fundamentals (databases, data structures, APIs, general system design), even with front-end as your focus.
• Technology agnostic: you've worked across multiple stacks before and can pick up whatever this team needs.
• Genuine ownership: a history of starting things from zero and owning them end to end, not just delivering on initiatives someone else already scoped.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and the independence to thrive in a fast-moving, remote-first, senior-heavy team with very little process.
• Heavy, real fluency with AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code): you build with AI as a core part of your workflow, not an occasional assist.

Requirements

• Experience building for governance, risk, compliance, security, or other regulated or data-heavy domains, or any product where clarity and trust in the interface genuinely matter.
• Experience visualizing graphs, networks, or relationships (knowledge graphs, org structures, dependency maps, or similar).
• Experience at a startup where you had to build something from scratch with little existing structure to lean on.
• Backend build experience, even if it's not your primary focus. Go is our main backend language, with Python also in the mix.
• Comfortable working fully remote across time zones, ideally with solid overlap with EU hours, on a small, high-caliber team with little hand holding.
