Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Rilla sits at an increasingly important intersection in SaaS: applying AI to frontline, offline selling and turning real world conversations into usable product data. With a sizable customer base already in place, the engineering work is anchored in production realities rather than prototypes, and the domain demands a blend of product thinking, reliability, and practical ML adjacent systems work.
For a Senior Software Engineer building a long-term SaaS career, this kind of environment tends to compound skills that transfer across modern B2B platforms. Shipping end to end workflows, owning deployment outcomes, and working across the stack builds fluency in how SaaS products evolve once customers depend on them. Exposure to tooling like CI, infrastructure as code, and data storage patterns also maps cleanly to roles in platform engineering, product engineering, or technical leadership within subscription businesses.
This role is likely to suit engineers who prefer broad ownership over narrow specialization and who enjoy turning ambiguous customer problems into shippable software. It also aligns with professionals comfortable operating in an in office setup and motivated by work that connects software decisions to measurable field outcomes.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
Job Description
About Rilla
Rilla is on a mission to index the offline world.
Today, we’ve built the leading sales coaching software for organizations doing sales offline. We have over 1000 customers, including The Home Depot, KKR, Neighborly, and PulteGroup, using our product to enable AI sales coaching across their organization.
We are backed by Google Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, Crew Capital, and Broom Ventures, along with others.
We’re an in office team in NYC with builders who operate like high speed reinforcement learners. We obsess over our customers, move at a high velocity, are not afraid of failure, and look to maximize our real-world impact.
If you want to build the products and systems for how billions of conversations in the real world are captured and indexed, Rilla is the place to do it.
The Role
Rilla engineers architect and ship features across the stack at lightning speed. On a daily basis, you will build end-to-end workflows, take them to production, and solve real world problems across an out-sized scale.
As an early technical steward, you will raise the bar for code quality and decision‑making, setting patterns that cement a world‑class engineering culture as we scale. While the company 10×’s, your scope and ownership will grow just as fast—building the tools, mental models, and platforms that let both you and Rilla accelerate exponentially.
Do you describe yourself as "obsessive"? Do you aspire to be a founder or a leader in applying AI to the physical world? We believe Rilla is the best place — with the best peers — to learn how.
Technologies We Use
Different languages and frameworks, including React, React Native, Typescript and Python
Open-source technologies like Node.js, PostgreSQL, Turborepo, Lodash, and Zod
Industry-standard build tooling, including GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Spacelift
What We Value
An infinite learner. Someone who is relentless in their curiosity.
A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply care about delighting customers and solving real pains, not vanity metrics.
A winning attitude. You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.
Extreme empathy. Our customers are not tech companies. They live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.
Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail, because it means you got a new opportunity to learn more.
What We Require
Strong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages, such as Javascript, C++, Python, Rust, or similar languages.
Strong engineering prowess, ideally developed at start-ups.
Familiarity with storage and data processing systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical tools.
Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to iterate quickly with teammates, incorporating feedback and holding a high bar for quality.
