About the job
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage AI recruiting technology startup as a full-stack Product Engineer. You will build reliable, user-focused products that bring AI capabilities into practical workflows, working closely with product and design to deliver measurable outcomes and help shape technical direction.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own product features end to end, from scoping requirements through production deployment.
- Design APIs and data models, and build frontend and backend functionality.
- Ship and improve user-facing experiences using customer feedback and product metrics.
- Integrate AI and LLM capabilities into product workflows with a focus on reliability.
- Build scalable backend services, data schemas, and operational tooling for testing, monitoring, and deployment.
- Collaborate with product and design on priorities and success measures, and contribute to architecture and roadmap discussions.
- Make pragmatic technical tradeoffs suited to a growing startup.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 2 to 8 years of software engineering experience, including delivery of user-facing products.
- Production full-stack experience with TypeScript and React or Next.js, plus backend development in Python or Node.js.
- Practical experience integrating LLMs or other AI services into production applications.
- Experience with PostgreSQL and AWS or GCP.
- Strong product judgment and end-to-end ownership, with comfort working in a small team and navigating ambiguity across frontend, backend, and infrastructure work.
- Experience with multi-tenant or enterprise-ready systems, APIs, real-time systems, or high-throughput applications is valuable.
- Background in regulated industries or complex internal tools is a plus.

Base salary: $150,000 to $300,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
