Job Summary

Drata is reimagining compliance as an intelligent, always-on experience — and AI is at the center of that vision. We are seeking a Senior AI Product Engineer to own the full-stack development of customer-facing AI features, embedded directly within our product teams. This is not a platform or infrastructure role. You will translate the capabilities of LLMs, agents, and RAG pipelines into intuitive, polished product experiences, including streaming chat interfaces, agentic workflows, intelligent summaries, and guided automation that makes compliance feel effortless. You will partner with AI Engineers who own the backend intelligence and with Product and Design to shape the vision, acting as the engineer who closes the loop between AI capability and customer experience.

Responsibilities

• Build AI-powered product features end-to-end — React/TypeScript UI through Node.js/Python backend — with real-time streaming, graceful degradation, and human-in-the-loop interaction patterns
• Translate AI capabilities — RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, structured reasoning — into interactions that feel natural to compliance practitioners
• Define API contracts and output schemas with AI Engineers; translate RAG pipelines and agentic workflows into user-facing interactions
• Advocate for the user’s perspective in technical decisions; identify where model outputs break down and iterate the product layer accordingly
• Build user-facing feedback loops that capture signal on AI output quality for the broader AI team
• Instrument AI features with product-level observability — latency, engagement, task completion, drop-off — and establish tests that validate behavior across the full stack
• Establish reusable patterns (streaming hooks, feedback components, AI state management) to accelerate future AI feature development
• Mentor engineers newer to AI product development; participate in design reviews with engineering depth and product instinct

Qualifications

• Experience: 7+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping full-stack features in production; 2+ years working on AI-powered product features
• Frontend: Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript; experience building responsive, interactive UIs that handle async, streaming, and real-time data gracefully
• Backend: Solid Python, Node.js, and TypeScript skills; experience designing and consuming APIs that integrate with LLM providers, orchestration frameworks, or AI services
• AI Fluency: Hands-on experience building with LLM APIs; practical understanding of prompt engineering, context management, RAG, quality/evals, and structured outputs
• Familiarity with agent frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, custom runtimes) and building product surfaces on top of multi-step agentic workflows
• Streaming & Real-Time UI: Experience implementing streaming response patterns and UIs that handle progressive, partial, and uncertain outputs
• Product Sense: Strong user experience intuition; balance technical feasibility with user value
• Collaboration: Track record of working with AI/ML engineers, product managers, and designers in cross-functional teams

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in compliance, security, GRC, or other document-heavy enterprise domains
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar tool-use interfaces for AI agents
• Exposure to RAG system design and debugging retrieval quality from the product layer
• Experience building feedback and annotation tooling that captures user signal on AI output quality

Impact

This role is the bridge between Drata's AI ambitions and the customers who will benefit from them. Your work will:

• Define the standard for how AI features look, feel, and behave across Drata’s product
• Make compliance practitioners more capable and confident by turning AI intelligence into trusted product interactions
• Accelerate the velocity of AI product development by establishing reusable patterns, components, and interfaces
• Influence the roadmap through close proximity to customer experience and AI capability, spotting gaps and opportunities early
