Job description

Our client is a well-funded, early-stage AI research startup building advanced systems capable of accelerating scientific discovery at scale. The company combines frontier artificial intelligence research with deep scientific expertise to develop tools that support complex physics research and technical problem-solving.

The team includes experienced researchers and engineers from leading global academic institutions, research organisations, and technology companies.

About the Role

We are looking for a Member of Technical Staff specialising in Product Engineering to own the customer-facing product experience from end to end.

This includes web applications, dashboards, and workflow interfaces used by physicists, researchers, and engineering teams. As a founding Product Engineering hire, you will combine significant product ownership with hands‑on engineering execution.

The role has a strong emphasis on real‑time and streaming user experiences, translating highly complex technical capabilities into intuitive and reliable products.

Key Responsibilities

Design and build customer-facing web applications, dashboards, and workflow interfaces.

Develop interfaces that support real‑time updates, streaming results, comparisons, and graceful handling of partial failures.

Build scalable frontend architecture with performance, accessibility, observability, and component design as core priorities.

Partner with platform engineers, physicists, researchers, and future product managers to shape product direction and user experience.

Take ownership of product features from initial concept through design, development, deployment, and iteration.

Contribute to the technical direction and engineering standards of an early‑stage product organisation.

Required Experience and Skills

4–6 years of experience building production‑grade, user‑facing products at companies recognised for engineering and product excellence.

Experience delivering polished customer‑facing products rather than internal‑only tools.

Deep expertise in TypeScript and React or comparable modern frontend frameworks.

Strong knowledge of frontend architecture, state management, and performance optimisation.

Strong product and design instincts, with the ability to work independently.

Experience working across APIs, backend integrations, real‑time systems, and streaming data.

Experience building resilient user experiences that handle failures and incomplete results effectively.

Strong communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills.

Bonus Skills

Experience with Figma, prototyping, and design systems.

Background in scientific computing, developer tools, research platforms, or other highly technical products.

Experience as an early Product Engineering hire within a startup.

Open‑source contributions to frontend frameworks, component libraries, or design systems.

Core Competencies

Strong product ownership and independent decision‑making.

Excellent frontend and product engineering capability.

The ability to simplify complex technical concepts through intuitive product experiences.

High attention to performance, reliability, accessibility, and design quality.

Comfort working within a fast‑moving, research‑driven startup environment.

Strong collaboration with technical and scientific stakeholders.

Curiosity and enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and scientific discovery.

Why Join?

Join as a founding Product Engineering hire with significant ownership.

Build advanced AI products used by physicists, researchers, and engineering teams.

Work at the intersection of frontier AI research and scientific discovery.

Collaborate with a highly experienced team of researchers, scientists, and engineers.

Shape the company’s customer‑facing product experience and product engineering direction.

Receive a highly competitive compensation package with meaningful equity.

Connecting you with world‑class talent to scale, innovate, and lead.
