Datasite is the essential infrastructure for M&A. Also comprising Grata, Blueflame AI, and Sherpany, we help deal breakers find opportunities, manage transactions, and make key decisions.

Whatever your talents, you can find a place for them here. Get involved in some of the biggest business ventures today. Work with other gifted people around the world. Follow your ambitions, or discover a whole new path.

Can you help us simplify the complex, create great experiences, and deliver better outcomes? Then let's talk.

Datasite's engineering organization builds the software the world's deal makers depend on to find, evaluate, negotiate, and close transactions: secure virtual data rooms and AI-assisted diligence, AI-native deal sourcing and relationship intelligence, and private-company search and market data.

Our engineers play a critical role in producing high-quality software solutions to support the Datasite product lines. This position requires close collaboration with our Professional Services teams, Product teams, and other members of our Engineering team to develop and implement software components and ensure the reliability and performance of the platform.

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer with strong product-engineering judgment and a solid foundation in backend, platform, distributed systems, or full-stack development. You'll turn ambiguous problems into secure, reliable production software, make pragmatic architecture calls, and use AI-assisted and agentic development tools to create real leverage, without losing ownership of what ships.

• Define how the organization adopts AI-assisted and agentic development - setting guardrails for verification, security, and human ownership of production decisions - and measure the leverage they actually create.

• Mentor and grow senior engineers, influence technical direction across the organization, lead architecture reviews, and stay hands-on in the highest-impact work.

• Seasoned software engineer with experience building, scaling, and operating production systems, and a track record of leading technical initiatives across multiple teams.

• Deep expertise in backend, platform, distributed systems, or full-stack product engineering, with a demonstrated ability to design systems that scale with product and organizational growth.
