Staff engineer - AI Builder

Tomorrow.io is a weather intelligence and climate resilience company that provides a comprehensive platform combining space-based sensing, artificial intelligence, and sector-specific analytics to help organizations make data-driven decisions in response to weather and climate conditions. The company operates its own first-of-its-kind commercial weather-sensing satellite constellation, enabling cloud-penetrating atmospheric observation on a continuous and global scale. Its platform delivers hyperlocal weather forecasts, real-time data, historical weather analysis, and AI-powered decision support across industries including aviation, insurance, energy, rail, trucking, manufacturing, and government defense. Tomorrow.io's mission centers on building weather resilience for both organizations and individuals by transforming raw atmospheric data into actionable intelligence. The company addresses climate-related operational risks by offering agentic AI tools such as its Shield Agent suite, which helps insurance carriers anticipate peril-driven losses, accelerate claims verification, and manage catastrophe response. By fusing proprietary satellite data with global datasets and adaptive modeling, Tomorrow.io aims to reduce the economic and human costs associated with extreme weather events, directly contributing to climate adaptation efforts. What distinguishes Tomorrow.io is its end-to-end, space-powered AI architecture — from owning and operating its own satellite constellation to delivering enterprise-grade weather APIs, mobile consumer applications, and embedded forecast widgets. The company also maintains a philanthropic arm, TomorrowNow.org, focused on climate resilience for vulnerable communities. Founded in the United States, Tomorrow.io has grown into a globally trusted platform used by leading organizations worldwide seeking to operationalize weather intelligence.

Tomorrow.io’s Saas department is focused on building software and products at scale, from infrastructure that handles massive amounts of data to outstanding customer centric user experiences in B2B, B2C and B2D products that change billions of lives worldwide.

We're seeking a Staff engineer - AI Builder to lead the design and implementation of AI-native technical frameworks that redefine how large-scale systems are built, extended, and evolved.

This role is deeply technical and architecture-driven, focused on designing modular, extensible, and AI-first system foundations that enable scalable development with AI as a core engineering collaborator.

You will work across the full stack, building infrastructure where AI actively generates, extends, and maintains software components as part of the native development flow.

This is not about incremental AI integration — this is about architecting the frameworks that let AI scale software engineering 10x faster and smarter.

Responsibilities

• Architect and lead the development of AI-native system frameworks that emphasize modularity, extensibility, and adaptive scalability.
• Build platform primitives that enable dynamic AI-driven module and extension generation.
• Design and implement developer workflows optimized for AI-assisted software development, embedding AI collaboration as a first-class design principle.
• Define and codify AI-native engineering practices, patterns, and guidelines to elevate Tomorrow.io’s software development lifecycle.
• Establish and champion best practices for AI-assisted engineering across system design, code quality, testing, observability, and operational scalability.
• Drive hands-on prototyping and iterative delivery across frontend, backend, and orchestration layers.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship, fostering an AI-first engineering culture across teams.
• Partner closely with Product, AI, and Engineering teams to align system evolution with AI-native goals.
  
  

Requirements

• Strong builder’s mindset — balancing deep system thinking with practical, hands-on delivery.
• 10+ years of full stack system architecture and complex platform engineering experience.
• Deep expertise designing distributed, composable, and extensible systems across frontend and backend environments.
• Strong hands-on skills with frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js) and backend systems (e.g., Node.js, Python, Go, microservices, event-driven architectures).
• Proven experience integrating and operationalizing AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) into engineering workflows.
• Experience building plugin frameworks, extension systems, or developer platforms that emphasize modularity and scalability.
• Track record of defining and promoting engineering best practices — especially in the context of AI-driven development.
• Demonstrated technical leadership — mentoring engineers, shaping architecture standards, and driving adoption of new paradigms.
  
  

   

  If you have reached this point and you are super excited but not sure you check all the boxes - we still want to speak with you! Your passion is priceless. Other things can be learned.
