Phyllo is now building AI-native products, including Phyllo V2 and Clayface.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer (SDE 3) to work as a hands-on backend engineer (60–80% individual contributor) who also mentors engineers and leads a pod (10–20%).

- Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or equivalent) in day-to-day development and verify their output.

Must-Have Requirements

- 7–10 years of experience, with production backend engineering in Python, Go or Java. Side projects and coursework do not count.
- Has designed, built and operated distributed backend services and APIs in production, including systems that integrate with third-party platforms.

- Production experience on AWS or GCP, and confidence working on GCP.
- Current or last employer is a product company.
- B.Tech, B.E. or B.S. in Computer Science or another Engineering discipline.
