Full Job Description

We're hiring a full-time Software Engineer, Product to join our team. You will own product features end to end, from idea to production, working closely with the founders and AI engineers to turn user needs into features people use in production.   This is a generalist role at an early-stage company. You'll write specs, build prototypes, code features across the stack, talk to users, and shape the roadmap. Product work that cuts across engineering, AI, design, and customer feedback tends to land here, and you'll be the person who makes sure it gets done well.   Because we're an early-stage company moving fast, we're looking for someone who can move the product forward without heavy process. This is an in-person role, 5 days a week in our office. The ability to think on your feet, collaborate tightly with a small team, and pair in person on hard problems is essential.   KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Ship product features: Develop product features end to end, across frontend and backend, from initial user problem to shipped feature. - Own the user-facing surface: Take responsibility for quality, polish, and the details that make the product feel good to use. - Translate needs into specs: Turn user feedback and business goals into clear, prioritized work for yourself and others. - Partner with AI engineers: Scope, ship, and refine AI-powered features alongside the AI team. - Run experiments: Define the learning goal, measure the result, and use it to decide what ships next. - Talk to users: Bring user feedback into the roadmap on a regular cadence. - Cover the seams: Pick up the product work that cuts across engineering, AI, design, and customer feedback and doesn't sit cleanly in any one team's scope.   WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - Strong full-stack engineering experience shipping production software in TypeScript/Node and React - Hands-on experience with NestJS or a similar opinionated Node framework (Express, Fastify) - Frontend fluency in React, TypeScript, and modern toolin
