Work Truck Solutions is the operating system for the commercial vehicle industry. While the retail auto market is saturated with software, the $130B+ commercial truck market was operating in the dark - until we turned on the lights.

We are the only platform that connects the entire ecosystem: OEMs, upfitters, dealerships, and fleet buyers. By digitizing complex inventory data (chassis + upfits) and streamlining the supply chain, we don’t just help dealers sell trucks; we ensure American businesses get the mission-critical vehicles they need to work. We are a team of innovators, disruptors, and problem-solvers dedicated to one mission: removing the friction from the commercial vehicle industry.

We are profitable, growing, and aggressively scaling our technology to remain the undisputed authority in this space.

This is a remote Staff Software Engineer role, our senior individual-contributor track, and the bar is high. A senior engineer is measured by the work they ship; a staff engineer is measured by what the team ships because of them. You are the person others look to when the problem is hard, the requirements are unclear, or the stakes are real.

You set technical direction that reaches beyond a single team, choose the patterns others build on, and take the ambiguous, high-impact work that has no obvious owner and drive it to done.

Our engineering team is moving to an agentic way of working, where much of our code is written by AI agents under human review. You will help lead that shift. You know how to build and maintain the skills, agents and context that make AI agents useful on a real codebase, and you set the standards that keep what they produce correct, secure and maintainable.

You define how the team builds with AI, not just which tools it uses.

This role is backend focused. You will spend most of your time in .NET and SQL Server, and you will know the frontend well enough to own a feature end to end. You will work day to day inside a software development team of 4-5 engineers, but your influence extends across teams. You make the engineers around you better through the standards you set, the reviews you give, and the way you teach.

You have a bias toward action: you would rather ship something real, learn, and correct than debate an abstraction for a week.

• Technical leadership across teams. Own the technical direction for your domain and influence it across teams. Make architecture decisions end-to-end, advocate for the better way to do things, and mentor engineers well beyond your own squad.
• Lead AI-driven development. Build and maintain the skills, agents, rules and context (such as MCP servers and the documentation agents read) that let the team build with AI. Use AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code or similar) to speed up delivery and to refactor and migrate code at scale.
• Set the standard for AI-generated code. Define how agent-written pull requests are reviewed and tested, including agentic testing, so that speed does not cost correctness, security or maintainability.
• Raise the team’s AI fluency. Teach engineers to work this way through pairing, code review and shared tooling. Evaluate new tools and measure whether they actually help.
• Drive the hard, ambiguous work. Take the projects that lack a clear owner or a clean…
