About the RoleUniversalAGI is hiring a Product Engineer to own and extend our customer-facing product across the stack. You will join a team of 25 researchers, engineers, and domain experts supporting early deployments in computational fluid dynamics and oil and gas reservoir engineering.
You will build the product experience through which engineers import CAD and 3D geometry, simulation and test data, and operating conditions; configure model workflows; monitor simulations and model jobs; compare predictions against trusted benchmarks; and deploy or export results.
This role owns the customer-facing product layer, including user workflows, interfaces, APIs, data models, visualization, and integrations. You will partner with platform engineering on the underlying ML execution infrastructure and with researchers who own model architectures and scientific methods.
You'll work directly with the CEO, founding team, and customers to turn advanced research into reliable, repeatable engineering workflows.
What You'll Do- Own Customer Workflows: Build the end-to-end product experience from geometry and engineering data through model configuration, benchmarked predictions, and deployed or exported results.
- Ship Across the Stack: Develop production features using React, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, databases, cloud services, and APIs.
- Design Clear Product Abstractions: Create intuitive interfaces, workflow templates, and APIs for simulations, datasets, model jobs, evaluations, uncertainty, and engineering outputs.
- Work Directly with Customers: Understand real engineering processes, identify recurring needs, and turn customer-specific lessons into scalable product capabilities.
- Own Production Quality: Improve observability, performance, versioning, migrations, compatibility, and incident diagnosis across the customer-facing product.
- Shape Product and Architecture: Partner with the founding team, Research, and Platform Engineering to define priorities, interfaces, and technical direction.
Qualifications- End-to-End Product Engineering: Experience shipping and operating customer-facing products across React/TypeScript frontends, Python backends, APIs, and data systems.
- Product Judgment: Ability to turn complex technical workflows into clear, effective experiences for expert users.
- Production Ownership: Comfortable designing maintainable systems, debugging production issues, and managing reliability, rollouts, and migrations.
- Customer Focus: Able to work directly with technical users, make sound tradeoffs, and own outcomes in an early-stage environment.
Bonus Qualifications- Experience building ML-backed products, developer tools, or complex B2B software.
- Experience with 3D or scientific visualization, WebGL, CAD, or CAE.
- Experience with enterprise authentication or customer-controlled deployments.
- Early-stage or zero-to-one product experience.
