• Well-funded AI startup tackling complex, real-world problems
• Small engineering team working directly with experienced technical leadership
• New York or San Francisco | 5 days onsite
• $175,000–$220,000 base + equity

I’m working with a well‑funded, early-stage AI company building software for complex operational environments.

You’ll join a small engineering team, learn from experienced technical leaders and take real ownership from day one.

There’s no traditional product management layer. You’ll work directly with users, decide what needs building and turn those problems into shipped software.

What you’ll work on:

• Own problems from first customer conversation through to shipped software
• Build full-stack product features used by real customers
• Translate ambiguous user problems into practical product solutions
• Make technical trade-offs and take ownership of how solutions are built
• Help shape product direction through customer insight and engineering judgement

Tech:

TypeScript, React, Node.js and Python.

You’ll need:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• Experience building and shipping software that people actually use
• Product instinct and curiosity about users
• Evidence you’ve taken ownership beyond a narrowly defined task

Experience in startups, open-source, hackathons or substantial side projects is a plus.
