Job description

Full-Time & Fully Remote -- we prioritize US-based candidates whose working hours substantially overlap US Eastern or US Central time, e.g. for whom 11am-3pm ET would be reasonable times for video meetings.

We're looking for a Product Engineer with strong frontend development skills and good intuitions for product design. You will join our small core team and help build the face of the PX platform.

You'd own two surfaces that matter enormously to how developers experience PX:

• PX Dashboard: For real-time cluster debugging, cost-monitoring, and observability experience backend engineers (and their AI coding agents) rely on once code is running in the cloud. It's written in Python and Django in the middle tier, but we'd like to upgrade from htmx to Vue on the frontend.
• PX Website: Our public website and tech docs — often a developer's very first touchpoint with PX, and the place where our product and brand design gets prototyped before being vendored into the dashboard. This is built with Vue, PrimeVue, and VitePress. We have also already integrated the deployment of the PX Dashboard and Website so that they appear as a single surface to users even though the technology behind the website is simpler than that behind the dashboard (static site generator vs full Postgres-powered web application).

We come from a background (Parse.ly) where the product team built one of the best-looking analytics dashboards on the planet — bespoke D3.js visualizations, Tufte-inspired information design, real-time data rendered beautifully. We consider ourselves product-minded engineers .

We want that same obsession with users and sense of design/taste/craft applied to making cloud infrastructure joyful for backend developers.

Our stack

• PX Website
  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • Vue, PrimeVue
  • VitePress
• Python 3.13+
• Currently using htmx
• Plan to use Vue
• PX CLI
  • Python 3.13+
  • click, pydantic, FastAPI
  • Supports AWS and GCP
• Infrastructure
  • Our core team has deep expertise in Terraform, Ansible, and SkyPilot, so provisioning infra and deployment is a breeze.
  • You won't have to worry -- at all -- about going from code to staging or prod environments with our stack.
• AI tooling
  • Claude Code, used daily across all PX projects for boilerplate, migrations, PR review, tests, etc
  • Given that AI tooling is a moving target, you'll also be given a Mercury virtual credit card to buy whatever other AI/LLM tools you think might help you in your day-to-day work.

We acknowledge that skills and potential often extend beyond a checklist.

That said, what will give your job application a boost?

• Several years of experience building production web frontends, ideally with Vue -- strong transferable React/Svelte experience is fine too.
• An eye for design and data visualization — you're comfortable building dashboards, real-time UIs, and custom charts that make complex systems data legible to engineers.
• Experience with static-site generators or docs tooling (VitePress, or similar) is a plus, since our public site and docs are one and the same.
• Enough backend/Python literacy to collaborate naturally with our Django and FastAPI services — you don't need to own that code, but you shouldn't be afraid of it.
• Real, hands-on experience using AI coding assistants like Claude Code as part of your daily workflow.
• Strong written communication — critical for a small, fully distributed team.
• Genuine excitement for developer tools and infrastructure — bonus points if you've personally felt the pain of shipping code to the cloud.

What you'll help us do

• Build and evolve the dashboard: Turn cluster state, job execution, logs, and cost data into a dashboard developers rely on every day to code, ship, and debug with confidence.
• Grow the website footprint: Our public site and tech docs are important parts of our user experience, and the front door for every new PX user.
• Establish PX's design system: Evolve the shared design system across the website and dashboard, collaborating directly with our design advisor, Marguerite.
• Own entire feature areas end-to-end: From a rough idea to something shipped and in front of real users, you will work with a small, senior team as your sounding board.
• Shape how AI agents interact with the UI: Claude Code and similar tools become first-class users of what you build.

Why PX?

• High ownership, early equity: This is a ground-floor opportunity on a small team building a category-defining dev tool.
• Small, senior team: Former Parse.ly engineers who've shipped rock-solid systems at scale and want to do it again — but faster and better in this new AI coding era.
• AI as a thoughtful force multiplier: Every team member gets a Claude Max account to utilize Claude Code in their daily work, but every team member also has the engineering capability and wisdom to carefully read any AI/LLM output and thoughtfully steer its inputs. We use Claude Code as a serious daily tool, not a novelty — you'll help define what a great AI-augmented workflow looks like.
• Real fully distributed team culture: Our team already spans time zones, works asynchronously, and keeps conversations close to code; we honed our approach to fully distributed teams years ago and refined it over time.
• Massive scope: There are 25M–100M+ developers in the world, and nearly all of them eventually have to ship code to the cloud — we want to make that moment joyful instead of painful.
