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 The Modeling Platform team is the backbone of every product in CaptivateIQ's modeling suite and sits at the core of CaptivateIQ's multi-year product strategy. This team is a force multiplier — the components, interfaces, and infrastructure it builds are what let every product engineering team ship modeling experiences fast, without re-solving foundational problems each time. The team's surface area spans service-layer APIs, a modeling SDK, and extensible frontend components — and our goal is to evolve this into a self-service framework: simple enough to ship new modeling products at a fraction of today's build time, reliable enough that product teams don't think about the plumbing, and opinionated enough that they aren't re-solving the same problems every iteration. We're also building this as an AI-native platform, with first-class access and support for AI agents to build alongside human engineers. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to own the technical direction of that evolution — a technical leader with strong engineering chops who embodies CaptivateIQ's values of ownership, bias toward action, and delivering real impact. You'll set the architectural direction for how the platform evolves, drive the multi-year technical strategy (with your EM and senior EPD leadership as partners, not gatekeepers), and make the tradeoffs that determine how product teams build on top of it. It's a highly collaborative role — you'll work daily with cross-functional partners (Product, Design, EM) and with the product engineering teams building on the platform. You'll also partner closely with the SmartGrid team — CaptivateIQ's proprietary DAG-based computation engine that powers the framework underneath — helping shape architectural direction for the Modeling Platform Pillar as a whole. You'll drive technical alignment across teams, and invest deeply in coaching and developing engineers toward senior and staff-level impact. Job Location Remote - US
