We’re looking for a Staff AI Acceleration Engineer to define the technical foundation for how AI agents are built, connected to data, and safely deployed across Dave.
This is a highly influential individual contributor role focused on architecture, technical strategy, and platform design. You’ll establish the patterns, standards, and infrastructure that enable teams across the company to build trusted AI agents on governed data. Your work will shape Dave’s AI Agent Factory—the platform that makes AI development repeatable, secure, and scalable.
You’ll partner closely with Data Engineering, which owns the trusted data platform, while you design the AI infrastructure that connects large language models to that data through robust governance, semantic consistency, and reusable developer tooling.
Reports to: Director, Data Platform & AI Acceleration
Your work will become the foundation every engineering team builds on as Dave scales AI across the business. By creating trusted infrastructure instead of one-off solutions, you’ll help accelerate development while ensuring AI systems remain reliable, secure, and aligned with our data platform.
You enjoy solving platform problems that unlock leverage for the entire engineering organization. You think beyond individual features and design systems that remain scalable, understandable, and adaptable over time. You balance speed with long-term maintainability and make thoughtful architectural decisions that improve both developer experience and business outcomes.
You’re comfortable working in areas that are still evolving, helping shape technical direction through collaboration, experimentation, and sound engineering judgment. You build strong partnerships across teams, welcome feedback, and understand that durable platforms are created through shared ownership rather than individual heroics.
This role offers significant technical ownership and the opportunity to influence how AI is built across Dave. Priorities will evolve as AI capabilities mature, and you’ll help define the architecture that supports those changes. We value thoughtful decision-making, collaborative problem solving, and building systems that create lasting impact.
Don’t let imposter syndrome get in the way of an incredible opportunity. We’re looking for people who can help us achieve our mission and vision, not just check off the boxes. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.

Anywhere in the United States except Hawaii. Dave is a fully virtual company with flexible hours, so you choose where in the U.S. you are based rather than relocating to an office.
No. Dave does not differentiate pay based on work location, so you receive the same competitive pay wherever in the U.S. or Canada you are based, with Hawaii currently excluded. Its job postings publish salary bands, for example roughly $150K to $224K for senior full stack engineering roles and $201K to $231K for a lead product marketing manager, each with equity.
Dave lists flexible paid time off that includes Juneteenth and a winter break, a 401(k) with company match, free financial advising, generous parental and caregiver leave, comprehensive health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance, and a home office stipend.
Dave brings teams together one to two times per year and runs team offsites, so most collaboration happens virtually with periodic in-person gatherings rather than a regular office commute.
Hiring skews technical. Engineering is the largest function, followed by operations, with active openings across machine learning, software engineering, data analysis, product management, and IT systems. It is a strong fit for people who want ownership and visible impact at a growing fintech and are comfortable with shifting priorities.
Dave posts its open roles, each with its salary band, on the Dave careers page, and you apply directly through the listing.
