About the Role
This is a full-stack product engineering role at a well-funded AI/ML company focused on building intelligent tools that help people think, reason, and create. You'll work at the 0-to-1 stage — owning product direction, shipping across the entire stack, and bridging deep customer empathy with hands-on engineering.
What You'll Do
Shape product direction and drive 0-to-1 development across the full stack.
Conduct user interviews and shadow users to surface real, unspoken needs.
Build and tear down rough prototypes rapidly to validate product ideas.
Collect and synthesize feedback from internal and external users to guide iteration.
Assemble clean code abstractions that enable fast iteration, and remove code that doesn't serve product-market fit.
Ship backend and frontend features across multiple interfaces — web, CLI, IDE, and more.
Partner with product design to transform promising ideas into polished features.
What We're Looking For
3+ years of experience in full-stack product engineering roles.
Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript; hands-on experience with React/TypeScript is a strong plus.
Demonstrated ability to build 0-to-1 software products from scratch.
Strong computer science fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving — ideally backed by a CS, Math, or related degree.
Experience talking to users, understanding customer needs, and translating them into product decisions.
Comfort navigating ambiguity and delivering independently without heavy direction.
Background as a founding engineer or former founder is a significant plus.
Experience at companies with strong or highly technical engineering cultures (e.g., in areas like fintech, AI research, or quantitative finance).
Contributions to open-source projects, developer tooling, or products built for engineers is a bonus.
Strong communication skills — able to explain complex ideas clearly and ask sharp questions.
Ability to write high-quality, well-tested production code.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: $170,000 – $350,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location
Hybrid role based in Los Angeles, CA. On-site presence required 3 days per week (5 days per week for the first 3 months).
