The Staff Engineer/Tech Lead will design and build scalable backend systems and APIs for an AI coaching platform, mentor juniors, and enhance development processes.
ABOUT SIRO
Siro is a Series A company using AI to coach field sales professionals, i.e., anyone who conducts sales in person. Most sales professionals in the U.S. work in field sales, but get ZERO on-the-job coaching because they are alone in the field. Top-performing sales reps out-earn surgeons, but most do not.
We believe that with the right tooling, field sales can become the most accessible path to financial freedom.

As a Staff Engineer / Tech Lead at Siro, you'll be instrumental in designing and building the backbone of our AI-powered coaching platform. You'll create robust, scalable backend systems and APIs that power our product, directly impacting the success of field sales professionals across the country.
You'll work on cutting-edge data and AI infrastructure, building the intelligence nexus for the entire field sales tech stack. Your work will cultivate a marketplace of new tools leveraging data that has never been collected or available before Siro.
