About the Role We're growing our world-class engineering team to usher our CRM platform into the next generation of software — and we're looking for a visionary Principal Full Stack Engineer to join our Core Platform Team Most Lead roles at "Big Tech" companies involve maintaining a single microservice or acting as a small cog in a 100-person machine. At Steer, you aren't just a contributor; you are the architect of a platform aiming for 100% market dominance. This is a high-impact role for someone who doesn't just write great code, but who can see around corners, challenge conventions, and lead entire products from vision to launch. We are actively refactoring our existing teams to be agentic-first — meaning our engineers don't just use AI as a tool, they architect systems around autonomous, AI-driven workflows. This is not a future initiative; it is how we build today. We’re looking for builders who bring exceptional focus, ownership, and commitment to their work. At Steer, we want engineers who are “all in” on our mission, fully engaged with their work, and invested in our shared success. This means making Steer your primary professional focus and bringing the dedication and accountability needed to deliver exceptional results. Why Steer?

We provide the autonomy and the platform to experiment with and implement the latest tech directly into our core product. AI-First & Agentic Culture: We are refactoring our teams to be agentic-first. We prioritize high-level problem-solving and AI/LLM expertise, and we actively encourage the use of AI tools to accelerate coding across any language and to power autonomous production workflows.

What You Have Must Have: 7+ years of professional experience building complex, web-based SaaS products. The “All-In” Mindset: A deep commitment to Steer’s mission and success. We look for engineers who take exceptional pride in their work, hold themselves to high standards, and demonstrate full ownership and accountability for their projects. They approach complex, seemingly impossible challenges with determination, proactively drive solutions, and are committed to delivering exceptional results in a fast-paced environment. AI & LLM Integration: Hands-on experience working with LLMs and prompt engineering. You use AI to bridge gaps and accelerate development. AI in Production: Proven experience deploying AI-powered features and autonomous (agentic) workflows in production-grade infrastructure. AI-Driven CI/CD: Hands-on experience integrating AI tooling into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., automated code review agents, AI-assisted testing, or agentic workflow orchestration). Database Expertise: Proficiency with both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) databases, including schema design and query optimization.
