## About the Role

You'll work in a TypeScript + Node.js + React stack, but we value strong engineering fundamentals over specific frameworks. You should be comfortable navigating the full stack, even if you lean more frontend or backend., * 3+ years of professional software engineering experience

 * A track record of building and shipping real product-not just models or papers
 * Experience working with LLMs and modern techniques (RAG, CoT, few-shot, embeddings, etc.)
 * An eye for product: you care how features work and how they feel
 * Familiarity with vector databases, prompt orchestration tools, and evaluation techniques
 * A pragmatic mindset about what's scalable and maintainable in production
 * Strong opinions, weakly held-you move quickly but bring others along
 * Bonus: experience building AI features for developer tools or productivity software, * Experience in JavaScript / TypeScript
 * Experience with PostgreSQL
 * Exposure to MLOps techniques (e.g., fine-tuning pipelines, model hosting)
 * Experience mentoring other engineers or working closely with design

READY TO BUILD THE FUTURE OF SOFTWARE?

If you're excited to shape how developers build with AI-from prompts to production-we'd love to meet you.

## Description

challenge of enabling this larger community to build production-grade software safely. That means AI that understands real business data, enforces enterprise policies automatically, and empowers teams to create once and reuse everywhere with shared, trusted components. Over 100 million hours of work has been automated by developers and domain experts using our platform, freeing them to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic initiatives that drive real business value. The people closest to knowing what needs to be built can now safely create custom solutions within enterprise guardrails. And that's a mission worth striving for. Let's build the future together!, As an AI Product Engineer, you'll work across product and infrastructure layers to ship developer-facing AI features that feel like magic-intelligent, fast, and deeply embedded into the act of building software. You might:

 * Build generative UIs that let users create real apps from natural language
 * Improve the performance, observability, and safety of our internal model architecture
 * Extend our AI evaluation systems to support smarter ranking, feedback loops, and product metrics
 * Develop patterns for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), few-shot prompting, and agentic architecture.
 * Contribute to building internal tools that help us accelerate iteration on AI features and workflows
