Software Engineer (Member of Technical Staff, Integrations)

• As an engineer on the Integrations team at Perplexity, you’ll define the technical direction of products that connect Perplexity to workflows across multiple verticals and work full-stack to build these applied AI systems
• You’ll move quickly, owning outcomes end-to-end, and building useful products people reach for every day
• Tech Stack: TypeScript | Next.js | React | Python | PostgreSQL | Eppo | AWS
• Build agentic apps, features, and workflows that make Perplexity a daily driver for users
• Lead vertical-specific products and AI-powered experiences like a Personal CFO and Email Assistant, turning connected data into reliable, high-impact tools people want to use every day
• Own the data backbone of pipelines, infrastructure, and connectors that bring user and enterprise data to agents and products at a 99.9% reliability bar
• Drive end-to-end projects across the full stack, running experiments in parallel and hill-climbing on adoption, retention, and revenue
• Set technical direction, mentor engineers, and partner with AI, Design, Data Science, and Infra to ship products that don’t exist anywhere else

Preferred experience

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of rapidly shipping complex products end-to-end
• Experience mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar of a team
• Strong execution: you ship many products and experiments in parallel and drive each to a measurable result
• An “extra zero” mindset: you aim for outcomes that are 10x, not 10%, and own the result end-to-end
• Strong product judgment; you translate user behavior and product opportunities into simple, effective technical solutions
• Genuine interest in and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly
• Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose ideas, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission
• Demonstrated technical leadership: you’ve owned large, ambiguous projects, set direction, and driven them to clear outcomes
• Experience building agentic product surfaces
• Domain expertise in verticals such as finance, healthcare, legal, or operations
• Time at a fast-growing startup or high-ownership engineering team
