About The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Engineer (Full-Stack) to own complex, user-facing systems end-to-end. This is not a single-layer role — you’ll work across frontend UX, backend systems, APIs, and data models, making pragmatic trade-offs between product velocity, scalability, and long-term maintainability. You’ll partner closely with the founders to design, build, and evolve core AI-powered workflows, acting as both a strong technical owner and a product thinker.

What You’ll Do

  • Own product features from concept and UX through backend systems and production launch
  • Design scalable backend architectures, APIs, async pipelines, and AI inference workflows
  • Lead system design with a focus on performance, reliability, and extensibility
  • Design clean, scalable data models across SQL and NoSQL systems
  • Build polished frontend experiences using React / Next.js
  • Make and clearly communicate technical trade-offs
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and GTM
  • Mentor engineers and raise the overall engineering bar
  • Influence architecture, tooling, and engineering best practices

What We’re Looking For

  • Core: Strong full-stack experience shipping production systems at scale
  • Able to independently design and ship end-to-end features
  • Strong system design and data modeling skills
  • Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, Redis, Firestore)
  • Backend experience with Node.js and/or Python
  • Frontend experience with React / Next.js
  • High product intuition and comfort operating in ambiguity

Nice to Have

  • Experience with AI-powered or data-heavy products
  • Cloud-native architecture experience (GCP, serverless, containers)
  • Startup experience or ownership of large product surfaces

Tech Stack

  • React / Next.js
  • Node.js / TypeScript
  • Python
  • GCP
  • Cloud Run
  • Modal
  • Firebase
  • Redis
  • Upstash

Compensation

~$300k total compensation (base salary, bonus, equity)

Meaningful equity ownership

High-autonomy, high-growth environment

Work Setup

  • Bay Area preferred (hybrid allowed)
  • North America remote considered
  • Visa sponsorship available

What Success Looks Like In 3–6 Months

  • Shipped multiple features users love
  • Lauched at least one AI-powered user flow end-to-end
  • Built tight feedback loops with founders, design, and real users
  • Proactively shaping product and engineering direction
