We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join Procore’s Developer Studio. In this role, you’ll lead the architectural hardening and scaling of Procore’s next-generation extensibility platform. Your primary goal is to build a dynamic platform enabling customers to define custom data schemas and automate complex workflows at an enterprise scale.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll partner with Architects, Product Managers, and a high-performing full-stack squad to transform high-impact Proof of Concepts (POCs) into production-hardened platform services. Use your expertise in high-concurrency backend design, SQL/ NoSQL performance tuning, and NestJS to build a foundation that supports billions of custom records with good latency.This position reports to the Senior Engineering Manager and will be based in our Bangalore office.

• Lead the architectural rewrite and scaling of the Developer Studio Metadata Engine using NestJS and SQL / NoSQL DB

• Design and implement hierarchical DB partitioning and dedicated storage promotion logic to handle enterprise-level data volumes.

• Collaborate with cross-functional architects to integrate custom objects with core Procore entities and complex permission systems.
