About the Role
Product engineers own features end-to-end, not just the code. You'll work directly with customers and our operations team to identify product gaps, find the clearest path through ambiguous problems, and ship new features from 0 to 1. There is no PM in the middle. You own outcomes, not just code. You will move across the stack to deliver features, touching frontend, backend, databases, APIs, and more.
Key Responsibilities
- Own features end-to-end, from identification of product gaps to shipping new features.
- Work directly with customers and the operations team.
- Navigate complexity and keep things simple where it counts.
- Develop your own sense of what matters and act on it.
- Question defaults and reason through tradeoffs independently.
- Ship, learn, and iterate.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Smart > Experienced: We don't care what languages or frameworks you've used before. If you're smart, you'll figure it out. We use Typescript, Svelte, and Nest, but what matters to us is that you can build things that work.
- AI-native: You are on the cutting edge of AI tools. You use Cursor, Codex, Claude, or your favorite CLI. Not as a novelty, but as a core part of how you generate code and think through problems.
- Full-stack: You can build and ship a feature end-to-end. Frontend, backend, database, deploy. No hand-offs, no waiting around.
Qualifications
- Complexity wrangler: Ability to navigate complex systems and keep things simple.
- Thrives in chaos: Comfortable with ambiguity and does not let it slow you down.

- AI-excited: Energized by the prospect of software engineering with AI.
