Staff-Engineer, Software-Engineer, Backend-Engineer Jobs

About This Job

We're hiring a Staff Engineer at Dutchie — someone who works across teams to solve the hardest problems, spot them early, and steer the technical direction so we hit fewer of them down the road.

You'll work at the core of our platform: making it better, faster, and more reliable; and partner with teams across the org on the integrations and shared problems no single team owns. You'll shape how we build, including what good engineering looks like when AI is part of everyday work.

The world of cannabis changes constantly, and we optimize our process for meeting that need while maintaining a high quality bar. We push context down, concerns up, and lean on a strong bias for ownership. If that's your kind of place, let's talk.

What You'll Do…

• Make real improvements to enterprise-grade retail software at scale
• Set technical direction — make the architecture calls that shape how systems evolve, and align teams behind them
• Work with stakeholders to scope, sharpen, and stress-test customer-facing features
• Get in front of customers to learn how they work and where it hurts, then turn that into better products
• Partner across the org on unified solutions for problems that span teams
• Mentor other engineers — everyone had help to get here, reinforce your own skills by helping others grow theirs
• Help the team plan, estimate, and de-risk big work by breaking it down and sequencing it well
• Set the bar for engineering judgment, code quality, and craft

What You Bring...

• We're flexible on years of experience. The depth and influence we're after usually show up around 8+ years in, but it's about what you can do, not the number on your résumé.

Engineering depth (the foundation)

• A track record of building and running production systems at scale
• Deep, hands-on experience in at least one modern backend stack — across Dutchie you'll find .NET/C#, TypeScript, Ruby, and React on the frontend, backed by PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and MongoDB. We care more about how fast you ramp than a perfect stack match on day one
• Experience designing scalable data models across relational and non-relational stores
• Pride in your craft — code that's clean, tested, and easy for the next person to build on

AI-native ways of working (how you operate)

• You use LLMs routinely — researching unfamiliar systems, diagnosing issues, planning solutions to messy problems, writing and reviewing code, and watching what you ship
• You are comfortable and excited about an agentic first environment. You know how to utilize AI to ship better solutions faster and safer than you could by hand alone.
• You raise the team's baseline — turning one-off wins into repeatable practices

How you show up (the multipliers)

• You make the people around you better — your biggest impact isn't just your code, it's how you raise everyone else's output and judgment
• You're genuinely curious about customers, and you let their pain points steer where the team spends its effort
• When a problem spans multiple teams and no one owns the whole thing, you're the one who scopes it, breaks it into pieces teams can run with, and keeps them pointed the same way
• You can hold several threads at once — a few projects plus the broader technical direction — and reprioritize cleanly when things shift
• You know where process helps and where it's in the way
• You communicate well — you make hard trade-offs clear to engineers, product, and leadership alike
• You own outcomes, not tasks — from ambiguous to shipped, accountable for how it runs in production

It’s a Bonus if You…

• Have experience in the cannabis industry — building for it, working in it, or just knowing the space
• Have built POS, Ecommerce, Payments, or other retail and commerce technology
• Have built and monitored cloud-native infrastructure (AWS)
• Have deep experience with third-party integrations
• Have brought AI-assisted workflows, tooling, or agents to an engineering team

You’ll Get…

We are targeting a starting salary of $170,000 - $230,000 based on the intended level for this role.

In addition to cash compensation, our total rewards package includes:

• Full medical benefits including dental and vision plans to ensure you always have the best care.
• Equity packages in the form of stock options to all employees.
• Technology (hardware, software, reading materials, etc..) allowance
• Flexible vacation and sick days
