Member of Technical Staff - Product Engineer

Qualifications

• Experience designing and building production-quality web applications.
• Strong frontend engineering skills, especially with React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and component-based architecture.
• Strong UX and visual design judgment, with the ability to create clear flows, polished interfaces, and usable interaction patterns.
• Experience working closely with product and engineering teams in fast-moving environments.
• Ability to operate independently, make reasonable tradeoffs, and ship without waiting for perfect specifications.
• Strong communication skills, especially around design rationale, product tradeoffs, and implementation decisions.
• Willingness to work on sensitive, defense-adjacent, and bio-related products with seriousness and discretion.

Qualifications (preferred)

• Strong product taste and the ability to simplify complex workflows without oversimplifying the underlying domain.
• A bias towards action. You can move from rough idea to working prototype to production implementation quickly.
• Comfort with ambiguity, especially in an early-stage company where product direction, customer needs, and technical constraints are still evolving.
• Respect for users operating in serious, mission-driven environments where clarity, reliability, and trust matter.
• Systems thinking across both design and engineering: you care about reusable patterns, maintainable components, and coherent product structure.
• High autonomy: willingness to take a problem and build an end-to-end solution.
• An understanding of how to make software feel polished, modern, and credible without unnecessary ornamentation.
