Product Engineer

San Francisco, CA, US Full-time. Will sponsor any. New grads ok.

We’re a small, in‑person team in San Francisco building the first AI orchestrator.

Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents on your Mac. We launched a few months ago, and are now used by engineers at leading companies like Linear, Vercel, Notion, Stripe, and Y Co. One user told me: "A huge amount of my work now is wildly parallelized, in a way I’ve never had to worry about before. It’s been a while since a dev tool has changed my life."

We’re on a mission to build the human interface to AI organizations. Our team is small but growing. Come join the co‑founders and jump into an exciting space where you can do the best work of your life. No AI experience needed, just enthusiasm for the power of LLMs.

• Charlie and Jackson met eight years ago t year, they quit jobs at Point
  72 and Netflix to start Conductor.
• Our team is small, so there is a lot of room to grow.
• We ship unusually fast.
• We’re backed by some of the best investors in the valley.
• We work in person in our beautiful San Francisco office.

We’re looking for a scrappy jack of all trades: an idea generator, an explorer, someone who can talk with users, design, prototype, and then actually build a beautiful product.

You’re probably a good fit if some or all of these are true:

• You like to move fast.
• You have strong opinions about software.
• You have deep technical expertise.
• You use AI tools conscientiously.
• You feel like your work reflects part of who you are.
• You have startup experience.

A few things we don’t care about:

• Experience with our tech stack (Type Script, Tauri, React). We trust you can pick it up.
• Experience developing AI or ML products. We’re looking for strong software engineers.

Pay

Compared to similar companies at our stage, we aim to pay roughly median salary and 90th percentile equity. We give out more stock than other companies because we hire less, and each employee can make an unusually large impact. For exceptional talent, we’re happy to pay exceptional amounts, in cash and especially equity. If that’s you, please reach out.

Health care

• Health:
  Aetna PPO $500
• Dental:
  Guardian PPO 2000
• Vision:
  Guardian VSP Vision (Choice)

… and, most importantly, real health care: sleep, nutrition, exercise, social support. We try to make Conductor a strongly positive influence on all those fronts.

Other

Whatever you need to be productive, we’ll help you get it. We trust our team with an extremely broad expense policy.

Send us a short message answering one of these questions:

• What’s your favorite piece of software, and what do you like about it?
• If you’ve used Conductor before:
  What was confusing? What would you like to change about it?

No need to write more than a few sentences. If you’re a human, we recommend you do not use AI—nearly always, we’d rather read human writing than AI writing. (Yes, we can tell the difference.)
