Associate Product Engineer

About This Role

This is where you start building the AI-native way for real. You've shipped something with Claude Code, Cursor, or a comparable tool, a side project, a hackathon, a scrappy internal thing, and you want to go deeper than your current role allows. We care more about how fast you learn than how long your resume is. You'll work next to senior builders who'll show you how we ship, and own well-scoped pieces end-to-end early.

How We Work

We're an AI-native product team. Nearly 100% of the code in our product is AI-generated, and every IC (engineer, PM, designer) ships features end-to-end with agentic tooling. The lines between disciplines are intentionally blurred: PMs ship code, engineers make product calls, designers prototype in production. We hire for fluency in agentic development, not time in any one stack. If you've been building this way on nights and weekends because your day job won't let you (rigid stack, no token budget, "that's not how we do things here"), this is the place where it's the actual job.

What You'll Do

  • Ship well-scoped features end-to-end with agentic tooling and senior review
  • Learn the codebase and our agent workflows fast
  • Push on specs that don't make sense
  • Stay close to how customers actually use what you build

Who You Are

  • You've shipped something real with agentic tools, at work, at school, or on your own time
  • 0–2 years in
  • You learn fast and want to be great, not comfortable
  • You'd rather ship and iterate than wait for perfect instructions

What We Give You

  • Top-tier AI tooling with unlimited token budgets
  • Day-one access to the latest models as they ship
  • A mature, multi-tenant production codebase with real users and real stakes
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) match, unlimited PTO, and paid parental leave

Our Values

  • ACTION — Take initiative, be accountable, share what you know.
  • DETERMINATION — Simplify and improve, get past obstacles with creativity and persistence.
  • HUMANITY — Empathy and kindness in every interaction.
  • IMPROVEMENT — Grow daily, add value to clients and teammates.

Workspace

Hybrid, based in our West Loop / Fulton Market office in Chicago, roughly three days a week.
