Product Engineer (AI Driven)

What You’ll Do

• Design and ship end-to-end applications from prototype to production across frontend, backend, and cloud.
• Build clean, scalable APIs and services and integrate AI models where they create real value.
• Create AI pipelines (data ingestion, preprocessing, embeddings, retrieval, orchestration) that are reliable and maintainable.
• Engineer prompting strategies and guardrails for real-world performance (latency, cost, accuracy), not just demo hype.
• Integrate AI features into full-stack apps with robust APIs, frontend UX, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with designers, PMs, and engineers to deliver polished product experiences.
• Continuously evaluate new AI tools/models for performance, cost, and fit.
• Write production-grade, testable, maintainable code in TypeScript/JavaScript and Python (and other languages as needed).

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Proven track record shipping production applications (links to live products welcome).
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), embeddings, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks.
• Strong command of modern web stacks (e.g., React/Next.js, Node.js/Nest/Fastify, Python/FastAPI) and cloud infrastructure.
• Solid grasp of architecture, scalability, performance, and security.
• A bias toward shipping with best practices (testing, code reviews, monitoring/observability).
• Clear communication, self-management, and comfort in a collaborative remote environment.
• Comfortable picking up new languages and frameworks, leveraging modern AI dev tools to move faster.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience fine-tuning models or training custom models on domain-specific data.
• Contributions to open-source AI or developer tooling.
• Mature approach to prompt engineering and evaluation (beyond trial-and-error).
• Background in data engineering or MLOps.
• Passion for AI alignment, agency-increasing technologies, and ethical AI development.
