Product Engineer (Mid-Level)

Department: Engineering

Location: San Francisco

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is a full-stack Product Engineer role at a small, fast-moving AI-powered recruiting platform in the HR tech space. You will work directly alongside founders, product, and design to build and ship user-facing features end-to-end. The role carries real ownership and has a direct impact on the core product during an exciting phase of early-stage growth.

What You'll Do

• Own features from requirements scoping through to production deployment.

• Design APIs and data models, and implement both frontend and backend code.

• Ship user-facing experiences that balance usability and performance, iterating based on feedback and metrics.

• Integrate LLM and AI capabilities into product flows to make intelligent features reliable for end users.

• Design and implement scalable backend services, data schemas, and operational tooling including CI/CD, monitoring, and testing.

• Collaborate with founders, product, and design to prioritize work and define success metrics.

• Participate in architecture and roadmap discussions, making pragmatic tradeoffs suited to early-stage growth.

What We're Looking For

• 2 to 8 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing products.

• Strong full-stack skills: TypeScript and React/Next.js on the frontend, plus backend experience in Python or Node.js.

• Experience with PostgreSQL and cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.

• Practical, production-grade experience integrating LLMs or AI services into applications (engineering focus, not research).

• Clear product sense and the ability to translate user problems into measurable solutions.

• Comfort operating in small teams with limited process, high ambiguity, and a broad scope of work across frontend, backend, and DevOps.

• Experience with multi-tenant or enterprise-ready systems, API design, real-time systems, or high-throughput applications is a plus.

• Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows and experience in regulated industries such as healthcare, fintech, or legal is a plus.
