Staff Software Engineer, Platform

📋 Job Overview

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help define the future of Lovable Enterprise. Some of the world's largest companies are already building with Lovable. Now we're building the platform that allows them to deploy Lovable securely, reliably, and on their own terms. You'll define the technical direction for the platform that powers Lovable Enterprise—from cloud architecture and sandboxing to networking, encryption, and identity.

🏢 About Lovable

Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software using natural language. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 companies, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products—fast. We're at the forefront of a fundamental shift in software creation. Our enterprise business is growing rapidly, giving you the opportunity to shape infrastructure that global organizations will rely on for years to come. We're a small, talent-dense team that values extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration.

🎯 The Role

You'll define the technical direction for the platform that enables enterprise customers to run Lovable securely and at scale. You'll spend your time building software, making architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and working directly with customers to solve problems that don't have established playbooks.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Define the architecture for enterprise deployments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Build cloud-agnostic systems that give customers flexibility in how they deploy Lovable.
• Design secure sandboxing and runtime environments.
• Set the technical bar for networking, encryption, identity, and enterprise infrastructure.
• Build the internal platform that enables engineering teams to ship faster.
• Mentor engineers and raise the engineering bar across the organization.
• Partner directly with enterprise customers and cloud providers on complex infrastructure challenges.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Experience architecting platform or infrastructure systems that have scaled in production.
• Experience building enterprise products and working with enterprise customers.
• Deep expertise across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Experience designing distributed systems used across multiple teams.
• Strong programming skills in Go, Rust, Java, C++, or similar.
• Experience building secure, reliable systems operating under demanding production workloads.
• Experience operating at Staff, Principal, founding engineer, or CTO-level scope.
• A product mindset—you care about the people using the systems you build, not just the systems themselves.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience building software that powers infrastructure rather than traditional DevOps backgrounds.

🎁 Benefits

We're always looking for better tools and better ways of building software. At this level, we're looking for someone with strong technical opinions who enjoys shaping how great engineering gets done.

🛂 Visa & Eligibility

Anyone excited by the role is encouraged to apply, even if your current title isn't \"Staff Software Engineer.\" What matters most is the scope you've owned and the impact you've had.
