Staff Engineer
Tomorrow.io’s Saas department is focused on building software and products at scale, from infrastructure that handles massive amounts of data to outstanding customer centric user experiences in B2B, B2C and B2D products that change billions of lives worldwide.
We're looking for a hands-on builder to join Tomorrow.io's Backend Core Team as a Staff Backend Engineer- a role where you'll actively code and deploy the critical systems, APIs, and infrastructure that process vast weather datasets, execute complex algorithms, and handle extreme loads to power our resilience platform. This isn't for those who just direct from afar; we want someone who walks the walk, diving into implementation while embracing an AI-first mindset to make everything more efficient, higher quality, and faster through AI integration.
What You’ll Do
Hands-on design and build scalable, fault-tolerant backend services and APIs for real-time, high-volume demands, leveraging AI to automate and optimize where possible.
Optimize data pipelines and algorithms for low-latency weather processing, using AI to enhance accuracy, speed, and self-improvement.
Lead architectural decisions with direct contributions, from microservices to event-driven systems, always questioning how AI can accelerate development.
Ensure end-to-end reliability with AI-powered monitoring and chaos engineering for mission-critical uptime.
Collaborate across teams to refine APIs, identifying AI opportunities to streamline workflows and boost product velocity.
Mentor through active participation—code reviews, pair sessions, and prototypes—to instill a builder's ethos and AI-first culture.
Iterate on AI-enhanced solutions, like intelligent data ingestion, to drive quality improvements and faster iterations.
Uphold best practices with a focus on AI for efficiency in security, performance, and compliance.
What You Bring
10+ years of backend experience with hands-on impact on production systems at scale—building, not just planning.
Expertise in distributed systems, microservices, and tools like Kafka or gRPC, paired with AI integration for optimization.
Proficiency in data-heavy tech (Spark, streaming) and languages (Go/Python/Java), with algorithmic prowess.
Cloud and container skills (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes), using AI for automated management.
AI-first experience: Operationalizing AI in dev workflows to improve efficiency, quality, and speed.
Builder mindset: Proactive implementation, problem-solving, and shipping in dynamic settings.
Leadership via action: Mentoring while promoting AI adoption.
BSc/MSc in CS or related; interest in weather/AI a plus.
