Staff Engineer

We’re big believers in the power of IRL, so for most roles we ask Campers to work from their local Culture Amp office an average of 2 days a week to unlock connection, pace and culture together.

Join us on our mission to make a better world of work.

Culture Amp is backed by leading venture capital funds and has offices in the US, UK, Germany and Australia. Culture Amp has been recognized as one of the world’s top private cloud companies by Forbes and most innovative companies by Fast Company.

Strong backend engineering skills (ideally in TypeScript and/or Python), including APIs, testing, service design, and building production systems or integrations end to end.
Hands-on experience delivering and operating cloud-native solutions in AWS, with a strong understanding of security, identity, permissions, secrets, and reliability in production.
Practical experience with AI agents, Claude or similar tooling, MCP or comparable integration patterns, and orchestration across single-agent, multi-agent, workflow, and human-in-the-loop systems.
Working knowledge of agent platforms and runtime concerns such as tool permissions, identity propagation, session state, token and time budgets, retries, evaluation, tracing, cost attribution, and auditability.
Experience designing knowledge or memory architectures, including vector or graph-based retrieval, and the judgment to choose between build, buy, configure, workflow, and agentic approaches.
A track record of taking ambiguous, unscoped problems from discovery through to a shipped and governed solution, earning stakeholder influence through delivery.
The ability to define platform boundaries and self-service patterns so other teams can move independently without compromising security or operational quality.
Energised by building something from zero — you’d rather define the pattern than inherit one.
Comfortable holding ambiguity, making decisions with incomplete information, and iterating in the open rather than waiting for a perfect plan.
A systems thinker who can move between architecture, implementation, operations, and the human behaviours needed for adoption.
Pragmatic about hype: excited by autonomous agents, MCP, and knowledge graphs, but focused on what creates measurable value and can be operated safely at scale.
A generous, team-first collaborator who shares context freely, lifts the people around you, and treats the Hub’s success as more important than individual credit.
