About Algo1: algo1 is a VC-backed stealth-mode company building behavioural AI solutions for the retail industry.
Our platform is designed from the ground up, no legacy, no patchwork systems, just a clean slate and a clear vision.
Our mission is to bring the intelligence of modern machine learning directly to the in-store shopping experience.
The Role
As a
Staff Engineer , you’ll work at the intersection of Product, ML, and Engineering to design and build the retail stack of the future. You'll be building user experiences on top of a platform that combines AI‑driven content delivery on autonomous edge devices on an Io T network, combined with the backend infrastructure of a cutting‑edge ad Tech platform.
This isn't a staff role where you "work across the stack," you'll be an integral part of defining the stack.
- What You Will Own
- Full‑Stack Application Architecture: Design, build, and scale high‑performance, full‑stack systems—combining modern backend services with responsive, high‑performance frontends.
- Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Help define overall engineering standards, particularly as they relate to web front‑ends.
Lead deep design reviews, mentor mid‑level engineers, and establish high technical standards across the organization.
Essential Qualifications
- Track Record: 8+ years of experience, with recent years spent in a Staff, Lead, or Principal capacity at a high‑growth startup or a sophisticated scale‑up.
- Full‑Stack Mastery: Expert‑level proficiency in modern backends (Python, Go, or Java) and high‑performance frontends (React/Type Script).
- Real‑time Web: Mastery of async, bi‑directional communication protocols and patterns (e. g., Web Sockets, SSE) to power real‑time user‑experiences.
- "AI‑First" Mindset: You have optimised your entire workflow around agentic AI workflows and can teach others to do the same.
- Nice to Have
- Distributed Systems: Experience designing and operating event‑driven architectures at scale (e. g., Kafka, Pulsar, or MQTT).
- Domain Expertise: Prior exposure to the complexities of large‑scale retail Tech, ad Tech, or mar Tech platforms.
If you’re excited by the idea of shaping the future of retail and eager to make a real impact from day one, we’d love to hear from you.
