About the Role

Join an early-stage AI software team as its founding product engineer, working directly with company leadership and backend engineers. You will shape the product experience from early ideas through production, building interfaces that help operators understand and work with AI agents.

What You'll Do

  • Own the experience from user flows and early sketches through frontend implementation and production.

  • Partner with backend engineers to bring product designs into production.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 4 years of experience designing and building products at fast-growing startups, or early-career work that demonstrates strong product judgment and shipping ability.

  • A portfolio featuring products you personally took from idea to production, including examples of adapting to changing priorities while balancing speed and craft.

  • Strong UI and UX judgment, with the ability to explain the reasoning behind design decisions.

  • Solid frontend fundamentals and the ability to independently ship production interfaces. A specific technology stack is not provided.

  • Systems thinking, initiative, and follow-through, including a willingness to share work early and learn directly from customers.

  • Interest in exploring AI products and software experiences where agents take action for users.
