AI Native Founding Product and Platform Engineer

Team: IT

Location: US

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: remote

Accountabilities:

• Lead architecture and delivery for high-impact digital product initiatives, using hands-on development to establish strong technical direction and engineering standards.
• Design and build full-stack solutions spanning frontend applications, backend services, cloud infrastructure, and deployment pipelines.
• Develop and evolve the engineering platform, including CI/CD workflows, Kubernetes infrastructure, infrastructure as code, observability, and developer tooling.
• Establish scalable and reusable technical foundations that enable engineers to build, deploy, and operate software more quickly and independently.
• Identify successful technical patterns and transform them into shared services, frameworks, libraries, tooling, and architectural standards.
• Continuously remove friction from the development lifecycle through automation, standardization, and thoughtful platform design.
• Design systems that are scalable, resilient, observable, maintainable, and aligned with real customer and business needs.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and engineering teams to translate user needs into valuable, technically sound solutions.
• Mentor engineers, influence technical direction, and promote a pragmatic culture centered on high-quality delivery, autonomy, and continuous improvement.
• Establish operational practices around monitoring, tracing, testing, reliability, and overall engineering excellence.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with substantial experience across both product engineering and platform or SRE environments.
• Expert-level experience with React and TypeScript for frontend development.
• Deep experience building distributed backend systems using Go, Python, or TypeScript.
• Architectural and hands-on experience with major cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP and infrastructure as code using Terraform.
• Strong knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines, including experience building workflows with tools such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
• Proven ability to design scalable, resilient, and observable distributed systems.
• Practical expertise in monitoring, tracing, testing, and operational excellence, with familiarity with technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger.
• Strong product mindset and experience working closely with Product and Design teams to create solutions that deliver meaningful value to users.
• Builder-oriented approach, with a preference for solving architectural challenges through practical implementation rather than process-heavy governance.
• Strong systems thinking, technical judgment, and ability to balance simplicity, scalability, reliability, and delivery speed.
• Excellent collaboration, communication, and mentoring skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions across teams.
• Comfortable working in a greenfield, ambiguous, and rapidly evolving environment where ownership and initiative are highly valued.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunity to work on greenfield products and establish foundational engineering architecture from the beginning.
• Significant technical ownership and influence over product architecture, platform capabilities, tooling, and engineering practices.
• Collaborative and inclusive environment with opportunities to work closely across engineering, Product, and Design.
• Professional growth and development opportunities.
• Opportunity to build reusable technology foundations that can accelerate engineering delivery across a growing organization.
• Fully remote work environment within the United States.
