AI-Native Product Engineer

About the role

We're looking for a Principal AI-Native Product Engineer who combines deep software engineering expertise with modern AI-assisted development practices to build production-ready software faster—without compromising architectural integrity. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives on solving complex technical problems, owns delivery from concept to production, and sees AI as a force multiplier rather than a replacement for engineering judgment. You'll help shape the architecture, standards, and engineering practices behind one of the world's leading retail commerce platforms.

Responsibilities

• Own products from idea through production, including architecture, implementation, testing, observability, deployment, and continuous improvement
• Design scalable, AI-friendly software architectures using SOLID principles and clean architecture
• Build enterprise applications across frontend, backend, APIs, integrations, and cloud services
• Leverage AI-native development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Codex to accelerate delivery
• Define contract-first APIs using OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, and strongly typed schemas
• Ensure software is testable, observable, secure, and production-ready from day one
• Review and validate AI-generated code to ensure maintainability, security, and architectural quality
• Build reusable engineering assets including prompts, AI skills, automation, and developer tooling
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to rapidly deliver customer value
• Work with multiple AI agents simultaneously to accelerate implementation, generate tests, improve documentation, automate code reviews, streamline releases, and increase engineering throughput
• Ensure AI accelerates development without sacrificing software quality, architecture, or long-term maintainability

What Success Looks Like

• Deliver production-ready features in days rather than months
• Build architectures that become stronger over time
• Ship multiple concurrent initiatives without increasing technical debt
• Create reusable engineering assets that improve team productivity
• Produce software that is secure, observable, testable, and scalable
• Improve engineering velocity while maintaining high quality standards

Requirements

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Deep expertise in clean architecture and SOLID design principles
• Strong full-stack engineering experience
• Experience designing distributed enterprise applications
• Experience with contract-first API development
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, or similar)
• Experience building automated testing and CI/CD pipelines
• Strong understanding of observability, telemetry, and production operations
• Excellent communication and technical leadership skills
• Demonstrated ownership of software from design through production support

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with:

• AI agent orchestration
• MCP servers
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Prompt engineering
• OpenAPI / AsyncAPI
• Cloud-native architectures
• Microservices
• Event-driven systems
• Retail commerce, POS, payments, or edge computing platforms
• Staff or Principal engineering leadership
