Employment Type: FULL_TIME

About the Role

We're looking for a Product Engineer who wants to operate like a founder.

Not someone who waits for specs and tickets. Someone who sees opportunities, talks to users, prototypes fast, ships relentlessly, and helps define what the product should become.

This is not a traditional engineering role. You'll work across product, engineering, customer workflows, AI systems, and business strategy. In many cases, you'll go from idea → prototype → shipped product in days, not quarters.

The best people for this role think in systems, move with urgency, and use AI as leverage.

Why This Role Is Different

The role of engineering is changing.

AI has dramatically expanded what a single engineer can design, build, and ship. The best product engineers today don't just implement requirements, they explore product directions, prototype workflows, talk to customers, and turn ambiguity into working systems quickly.

We believe the future belongs to engineers who:

Think like product leaders
Move with high agency and ownership
Use AI tools fluently
Care deeply about user outcomes
Prototype and iterate rapidly
Can operate across engineering, product, and business contexts

What You’ll Do

Own product surfaces end-to-end, from identifying opportunities to shipping and iterating on solutions
Work directly with customers, CSMs, and GTM teams to deeply understand workflows and pain points
Design and build fullstack features that drive user impact and business outcomes
Rapidly prototype and test new ideas, especially in ambiguous or zero-to-one spaces
Help define how AI agents behave, reason, and deliver value in real-world workflows
Collaborate closely with design, product, and engineering to shape roadmap and prioritization
Translate insights from user behavior, customer conversations, and data into product improvements
Think beyond individual features and help shape product architecture and long-term platform direction
Push ideas into reality quickly instead of over-optimizing in planning phases

Ideal Candidates Have

3+ years of experience as a software engineer, product engineer, or in a product-focused engineering role
Strong fullstack foundation, especially with Typescript, React, NextJS, and NodeJS
A track record of owning products or systems from concept through launch
High agency — you naturally move things forward without waiting for direction
Strong product intuition. You care deeply about user experience and business impact, not just technical correctness
Comfort operating in ambiguity and figuring things out in real time
Bias toward building and prototyping over endless planning
Strong communication across engineering, product, GTM, and leadership
Excitement about AI-native workflows and the future of product creation

Bonus:

Experience working closely with customers or in customer-facing roles
Background in startups or zero-to-one product development
Experience with AI/LLMs, prompt design, or building AI-powered products
You've used tools like Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, v0, or similar heavily in your workflow
You care deeply about product velocity and iteration speed

Compensation

Base salary range: $150,000 – $250,000
