About OrbitShift
At OrbitShift, we are building the world's first AI-native Sales Operating System, trusted by enterprise teams to accelerate their GTM motion. Our multi-agent AI system enables actionable account insights, RFP response generation, targeted nudges, and sales content. Backed by Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital), Stellaris Venture Partners, and other marquee investors, we are a quick-growing, 3-year-old startup with a team from Amazon, McKinsey, IIT, and Stanford.

We are looking for a Staff AI Engineer to be our internal authority on applied AI, the person who sets technical direction on what we build with AI, not just how. This is a senior individual-contributor role for someone with staff-level impact in applied AI, backed by solid backend engineering depth.

Role Overview
You will be our go-to person for everything AI, effectively a Tech Fellow for AI within the org. You'll own the AI technical strategy, translate business problems into AI system designs, decide which models and approaches fit each use case,



and own the judgment calls that make GenAI systems reliable and cost-effective in production. Just as importantly, you'll know and argue, when not to use AI.

This is a hands-on staff-level IC role with real influence over the AI roadmap and how the whole team builds with AI. You'll pair deep GenAI application experience with solid backend engineering, so your designs hold up in production and not just in a notebook. We care more about depth in fundamentals, scope of impact, and judgment than familiarity with any specific tool.
