Staff Full Stack Engineer

About Us:

At Bolo AI, our mission is to use AI to make daily work faster, safer, and better for the heavy industry worker. We are building the next-generation agentic platform for heavy industries, starting with the Energy sector—enabling intelligent systems that reason, retrieve, and act across complex workflows spanning the field, office, and control center.

Role Overview:

We’re looking for a Staff Full Stack Engineer to join our fast-moving team in Palo Alto and help build the next generation of Agentic AI applications—reimagining daily work for the heavy industry workforce that powers nearly 20% of global GDP.

In this high-ownership role, you’ll work closely with our Head of Engineering and company leadership to design and ship full-stack systems that combine LLM-powered agents, real-time data, and multimodal interfaces. This is a rare opportunity to define foundational architecture, shape engineering culture, and accelerate your career by delivering applied AI that supports the workers driving the real-world economy.

Note: This role is expected to be based in the Bay Area, with at least 3 days per week in our Palo Alto office.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop full-stack features that integrate real-time data, LLM reasoning, and rich user interfaces.
• Collaborate directly with engineering leadership and product stakeholders to turn customer needs into scalable software.
• Build APIs, backend services, and frontend interfaces that support agentic workflows and multimodal search (voice, image, document).
• Ensure applications are production-ready for deployment in customer VPCs (AWS & Azure), with an emphasis on security, observability, and resilience.
• Write robust, clean, and testable code across the stack using Python (FastAPI), React (TypeScript), and cloud-native technologies.
• Contribute to DevSecOps pipelines, container orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD automation to drive release velocity.
• Play a key role in shaping the engineering culture and mentoring teammates as the team grows.

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in full-stack development.
• Proven track record building cloud-native applications for enterprise use cases.
• Deep experience with Python (FastAPI or equivalent), React/Next.js, TypeScript, and API design.
• Hands-on experience deploying and operating applications on AWS and/or Azure, including to customer-managed VPCs.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, service orchestration, and backend scalability.
• Startup experience and shipping product, ideally 0 to 1.
• Ability to move fast, make trade-offs, and deliver features with high product impact and technical excellence.
• Bonus: Familiarity with GenAI/LLM tooling (e.g., OpenAI, LangGraph), retrieval systems, or multimodal data.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

What We Offer:

Bolo AI is a technology startup headquartered in Palo Alto, backed by True Ventures, Benchstrength, Accomplice, J Ventures, and Beat Ventures.  We offer competitive compensation, generous PTO, flexible working hours, an office in Palo Alto for in-person collaboration, and the following:

• Competitive Compensation: A strong base salary
• Ownership & Impact: Equity options so you can share in our success as we grow and shape the future together.
• Hybrid Work Environment: Enjoy a flexible hybrid schedule—collaborate in person and work from home.
• Growth & Opportunity: Join us at a pivotal stage where your contributions will have a direct impact on our journey. As we grow, so will your opportunities.
• Culture of Respect & Collaboration: We live by humility, respect, and low ego. You’ll be part of a team that values your ideas and celebrates wins together.
