What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff AI Engineer // High Growth Startup // Fully Remote position at Motion Recruitment?
A fast-growing B2B SaaS company operating in the property management space is rethinking how software gets built from the ground up. This is a full-time, 100% remote opportunity for a Staff AI Engineer to join a small, high-velocity team that is using AI-native development workflows and agentic coding tools to transform the software development lifecycle. This role is open to candidates anywhere in the US.
This team heavily utilizes and builds with AI tools. If you are an engineer who has already made AI coding agents a core part of how you work every single day, this role was designed for you. You will own full experiment loops from hypothesis to shipped product, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and help define what the future of software engineering looks like in practice. This is a rare opportunity to be on the ground floor of something genuinely new, at a company that is growing fast and giving its engineers the space to do their best work.
