About Us

At South Geeks, we engage top-performing Software Engineers, Security Experts, and Data Analysts from Latin America to join our clients' teams worldwide. For over 8 years, we've been helping future-shaping companies scale faster by curating world-class tech talent and building long-lasting, strategic partnerships. We pride ourselves on a people-centered culture that powers innovation, collaboration, and excellence.

About the Client

Our client is a fast-growing US-based edtech company whose platform powers school-family communication for over 22 million students across the country. Their engineering team is navigating an exciting architectural transition, while continuing to ship fast. This is a high-visibility role with regular interaction with the CEO and co-founders.

About the Role

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who operates with urgency and a "multiplier" mindset. This is an AI-native role: you should have fundamentally evolved your development workflow using LLMs and AI agents. The ideal candidate uses AI to bypass manual boilerplate, accelerate debugging, and ship clean, simple functionality at a pace traditional methods can't match. You'll be one level below Principal, but the expectations for technical leadership and architectural influence are high.

Key Responsibilities

Partner with product, exec leadership, design, sales, and marketing to build the right things, as simply as possible
Champion AI development practices and mentor the engineering org on using AI to increase sprint velocity and code quality
Build and run systems that operate robustly at scale with the highest level of security
Work with leadership to build a unified technical direction and a culture of excellence and speed
Review PRs and design the future architecture of systems, including the evolution of legacy monolithic architecture toward a modern stack

What You Need to Succeed in This Role

Mastery of large-scale services using Ruby, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript and PHP
Deep knowledge of distributed systems, relational databases (MySQL/Postgres), and AWS infrastructure (Aurora, RDS, SQS)
AI-native workflow: you treat AI (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) as your primary partner in the development lifecycle — using it to bypass boilerplate and focus on deep architectural work
Ability to represent the engineering team in high-stakes discussions with non-technical stakeholders
Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field

Our Team

We strive to create an inspiring and growth-oriented environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered. We promote both personal and professional development, with individualized support for your needs and concerns. We aim to build a space where everyone can thrive.

100% remote work
Competitive payment in USD
