Original job description

CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize sales performance. We started by revolutionizing incentive compensation management, and now we're expanding our platform to solve broader sales planning challenges. Recognized by industry analysts like Forrester and G2 and backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, ICONIQ, Accel, and Sapphire Ventures, we empower high-growth companies like Netflix, Figma, and Stripe with the flexibility and insights needed to drive revenue performance.

About the Role

CaptivateIQ is building AI capabilities that will transform how enterprises manage sales performance. We're looking for a **Staff Software Engineer** to set the technical strategy for our Agentic SDK team, an internal developer platform that enables product teams across the company to build AI-powered features.

This is a strategic technical leadership role with multi-year, multi-team scope. You'll define the architecture and technical direction for AI at CaptivateIQ, making decisions that have no clear answer and partnering with senior Engineering, Product, and Design leadership to shape our long-term vision. You'll be responsible for technical choices that affect the entire organization, from platform design to engineering-wide quality standards.

As the technical anchor on a small, high-impact team, you'll lead by influence across organizational boundaries. You'll drive alignment between product teams consuming the Agentic SDK and the platform capabilities we build. You'll establish the bar for engineering excellence and invest deeply in coaching P4 engineers toward staff-level impact.

This is a rare greenfield opportunity to define how AI gets built at a growing enterprise software company. You'll shape not just the technology, but the culture and practices that scale with the organization.
