The Role

As a Staff Software Engineer on our AI Scheduling team, you’ll help shape the future of workforce scheduling at Deputy. The team is bringing AI and automation into the daily decisions managers make, giving them useful insights and recommendations to create compliant, cost-effective schedules at scale. The goal is to give managers more time to support their teams and grow their businesses.

The work will have an impact across Deputy’s products, platforms, and the experiences we create for customers. You’ll lead key technical initiatives from early discovery and solution design through to delivery, tackling complex backend problems, making sound architectural decisions, and building reliable, scalable services. Strong judgment, clear direction, and a focus on quality will set the technical bar for the team.

There is plenty of room to shape both the product and the way the team works. You’ll help identify practical ways to use AI agents and emerging tools throughout the software development lifecycle, improving how we plan, build, test, and deliver software. The role brings ownership, space to try new approaches, and the opportunity to turn good ideas into meaningful improvements.

Working closely with engineers, product managers, designers, and leaders, you’ll solve important customer problems and turn ambitious ideas into practical features. Every day, your work will be visible in the user-facing experiences and backend services behind every one of those workplaces, supporting the livelihoods of millions of people around the world.
