Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Member of Technical Staff (AI Products, Early Career, Industry)
  • This is a full stack role in the truest sense
  • There are no frontend or backend lanes here, and no one waits for a ticket before starting
  • It suits people who love to build and want the room to do it
  • What you have shipped and how quickly you learn tell us far more than years on a resume or where you went to school
  • Own a user-facing surface end to end, from the interaction, design, and frontend through the application logic, APIs, data models, and the search or model calls behind them
  • Ship to production continuously. New engineers typically have code in front of users in their first week
  • Build with AI as a primary tool, not a novelty. We expect you to use agents and coding models aggressively to move faster, and to have sound judgment about when their output is wrong
  • Turn ambiguous product ideas into working prototypes, then use real usage data and evals to decide what survives
  • Raise the quality bar on reliability, latency, and craft for the surfaces you own
  • Work directly with designers, PMs, and research engineers, without unnecessary process in between

This role is for industry candidates already working in software engineering for the past 1+ years

Comfort with ambiguity and an instinct to start building incrementally rather than wait for a spec Strong in at least one backend language, such as Python or Go, with real experience across services, APIs, and relational data modeling. Comfortable working in React and Type Script on the frontend

Real evidence of building: production work you understand in depth, shipped side projects with actual users, meaningful open-source contributions, hackathon wins, or research you turned into working software

Hands-on experience with AI products, with opinions about their rough edges and what that means for the product you are building1+ years of professional software engineering experience, or a track record of strong internships where you shipped production code at scale

Experience with our stack:
React or Next.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, AWS. You will not be expected to know all of it on day one Product taste. You can tell a good interface from a bad one and explain how to improve it Experience building on top of LLMs: AI orchestration, RAG, evals, agents, tool useA public track record we can read, such as Git Hub, a technical blog, or a demo we can try
