Software Engineer, Product

About the role

Join our small (but powerful!) team working together 4 days/week in our SF Mission district office. Your Role As a Fullstack Engineer, you'll own the product surface that researchers actually touch.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build the product UI for exploring, querying, and curating multimodal datasets — including video playback, clip-level annotation, and visualizations over corpus composition.
• Design and build the APIs that drive the UI and that customers integrate against from their own training stacks and notebooks.
• Build analytics that help researchers understand their corpus: distributions over labeled axes, dataset composition over time, query result quality, training-job dataset provenance.
• Work closely with the Visual Understanding, Dataloading, and Storage teams so the product surface stays a thin, fast layer over a deep platform.
• Sit with researchers at design-partner labs, gather requirements directly, and turn them into shipped features in days — not quarters.
• Write high-quality, extensible, maintainable code. Take on tech debt deliberately for velocity, and pay it down deliberately when the product proves out.

What we look for

• Fullstack engineering experience across web applications, developer-facing products, or data products.
• Proven track record of shipping core product features with strong user obsession, including direct collaboration with users to gather requirements, manage feedback, and provide timely support.
• Comfort with the full stack: modern frontend frameworks, backend services, APIs, and the cloud infrastructure underneath (AWS S3, etc.).
• Experience taking a product from ground zero to production — and the judgment to know when to take on tech debt for velocity vs. when to invest in extensibility.
• Bias toward shipping. You'd rather get a flawed v1 in front of a researcher today than spec a perfect v2 for next month.

Nice to have

• Experience building UIs over data — analytics dashboards, query builders, notebook environments, data exploration tools.
• Experience with video, image, or other multimodal content in the browser.
• Background in developer-facing or technical products, especially for ML/AI or data engineering audiences.
• Comfort with Python on the backend (our platform is Python/Rust).
• Worked closely with research or technical end users before.

• In-person, tight-knit team — 4 days/week in our SF Mission office.
• Competitive comp and meaningful startup equity.
• Catered lunches and dinners for SF employees.
• Commuter benefit.
• Team-building events and poker nights.
