About The Role

Andercore runs global trade end to end, from sourcing and pricing to sales, logistics and financing, and AI agents do a growing share of that work. Order values are high and prices and stock change daily, so the systems underneath have to be fast, correct and reliable at all times.

As a Staff Engineer, you own our hardest technical problems and set the architecture across teams. You focus on what a fast-growing trading business cannot afford to get wrong: speed, reliability, security and observability. You report to our VP Engineering and work closely with our Senior Product Engineers, QA and product managers. You stay hands-on: you write code, review designs and raise the bar for everyone around you

Tech stack

Java 21 and Spring Boot 3, Python, LangGraph and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), PostgreSQL, Kinesis, AWS with Terraform, GitHub Actions, and TypeScript with Node.js, Next.js and React. Including Salesforce, which we are moving our transaction core out of.

What You Will Do

• Set the technical direction across teams: define the target architecture, write the RFCs behind big decisions, and make sure teams build towards the same picture.
• Lead the hardest technical work yourself, from design to production, instead of only advising on it.
• Shape the carve-out of our transaction core from Salesforce into a modern, modular core system, with a migration path that never disrupts daily trading.
• Make reliability, security and observability part of how we build: monitoring, alerting, incident response and postmortems that lead to real changes.
• Design how our AI agents act safely on money-touching paths, with evaluations, guardrails, audit trails and human review where it matters.
• Set standards for correctness and data integrity, including idempotency, validation and testing, together with QA.
• Mentor engineers through design reviews, pairing and direct feedback, and help us hire by defining what great engineering looks like at Andercore.
