Job summary

Mecka AI in New York is looking for a Senior Product Engineer to own end-to-end product development, tackling 0→1 problems with a full-stack, design-oriented, and data-driven approach. You will ship quickly, define quality in production, and own product quality from concept to deployment.

You will collaborate with internal users and designers to define what to build, iterate rapidly, and maintain durable workflows for large-scale data operations in a fast-moving startup environment.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of software engineering experience or equivalent impact.
• Proven track record shipping products 0→1 and scaling them in production.
• Strong product chops: you can reason about UX, workflows, and trade-offs.
• High agency: you move without waiting for perfect specs.

Responsibilities

• Turn ambiguous problems into shipped product: concept prototype production.
• Own scope, trade-offs, and delivery — not just implementation.
• Build end-to-end workflows across frontend + backend.
• Create product primitives that are durable, simple, and fast to iterate on.
• Sweat UX details: interaction quality, edge cases, and reliability.
• Partner closely with design — and bring strong product taste yourself.
• Define success metrics and instrumentation.
• Use data to drive prioritization, quality, and performance decisions.

Job description

About Mecka AI

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.
We design and operate global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
We work closely with frontier robotics teams to bridge real-world data, simulation, learning-based systems, and deployed hardware.

The Role

We are hiring a Senior Product Engineer to take products 0 1 scale.

This is a true senior, high-agency role for someone who is full-stack, design-oriented, and data-driven — with strong startup/founder-type instincts. You will work directly with internal users, define what to build, ship quickly, and own quality in production.

What You’ll Work On

0 1 Product Building

• Turn ambiguous problems into shipped product: concept prototype production.

• Own scope, trade-offs, and delivery — not just implementation.

Full-Stack Execution

• Build end-to-end workflows across frontend + backend.

• Create product primitives that are durable, simple, and fast to iterate on.

Design + Product Craft

• Sweat UX details: interaction quality, edge cases, and reliability.

• Partner closely with design — and bring strong product taste yourself.

Data-Driven Iteration

• Define success metrics and instrumentation.

• Use data to drive prioritization, quality, and performance decisions.

Required Background

• 7+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent impact), with meaningful full-stack ownership.

• Proven track record shipping products 0 1 and scaling them in production.

• Strong product chops: you can reason about UX, workflows, and trade-offs.

• High agency: you move without waiting for perfect specs.

Strong Signals

• Early-stage startup or founder experience with end-to-end product ownership.

• You can write clean systems and also care deeply about UX.

• You ship, measure, and iterate relentlessly.

Why This Role

• Build the product layer that turns complex operations and petabyte-scale data into simple, reliable workflows.

• High ownership, fast iteration, and direct impact across the company.

We strive to create an inclusive work environment for all; we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, we will partner with you to meet your needs.
