Job Application for Staff Software Engineer, Restaurant Applications at SoundHound AI

New

Ready to be a part of something big? Join our team at SoundHound AI, where AI innovation and real-world impact come together. We unite voice AI, generative AI, and conversational AI to deliver powerful AI solutions that reimagine how people interact with the products and services they rely on. Whether it’s voice-enabling vehicles, streamlining patient journeys, or enhancing customer service, our multilingual, omnichannel AI technology touches the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world.

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Restaurant Applications team. You will own the design and implementation of rich, interactive user interfaces used by both consumers and brand operations / marketing teams. You’ll architect scalable front-end systems—from component libraries and data-driven dashboards to A/B testing frameworks—while partnering closely with UX designers, product managers, and back-end engineers to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions.

If you're passionate about building novel, scalable, high-impact and easy to use applications, we’d love to hear from you!

In this role, you will:

Drive end to end solutions to ambiguous and open-ended technical challenges.
Design and architect responsive, high performance web applications.
Influence key stakeholders within the organization to generate new products and adopt new processes and practices.
Continuously improve our brand onboarding and operational excellence capabilities.
Collaborate with product and design teams to build world-class applications.
Work on systems that handle millions of voice AI conversations per year.
Identify and eliminate sources of toil and inefficiency in systems and processes.
Proactively refine UX based on user feedback and usage analytics, driving measurable improvements in adoption, task completion time, and error rates.

We would love to hear from you if:

Have 12 years of software engineering experience.
Have expertise with React, including hooks, context, and modern patterns.
Have hands-on experience with state management libraries (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, Reframe) and data-fetching strategies (GraphQL or REST).
Have solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox/Grid) and CSS-in-JS or utility-first frameworks (e.g., Tailwind).
Have proficiency in implementing accessibility standards (WCAG) and responsive design.
Have strong UI/UX skills with an eye for pixel-perfect implementation.
Have familiarity with design tools (Figma, Sketch) and prototyping workflows, bring knowledge of real-time frameworks (WebSocket, GraphQL Subscriptions) and data visualization libraries (D3.js, Recharts).
Have experience working directly with customers to gather feedback and improve applications.
Are interested in learning Clojurescript, Reagent and Reframe.

We’d be especially excited if you:

Bring experience with ClojureScript, Reagent, and Reframe, have a background in restaurant technology, hospitality, or operations-focused SaaS products, demonstrate strong problem-solving skills and a growth mindset, and communicate effectively while collaborating across distributed teams.

This position is available for remote work across most of the United States.

The estimated salary for this position is $165,000 - $200,000 plus equity. In addition to salary and equity, you will receive comprehensive healthcare, paid time off, and other benefits. Our recruiting team will provide a specific salary range based on location and years of experience.
