Full Job Description


About the role

We're looking for a Product Engineer to help build and scale the core product experiences of Phylo's AI agent platform. This is a highly versatile, full-stack role with a frontend lean, focused on turning cutting-edge agentic research into fast, reliable, and delightful products used by real scientists.

You'll own product features end-to-end - from UI and interaction design to backend APIs, billing, authentication, and integrations - and work closely with AI researchers, scientists, and infrastructure engineers to ship production-grade systems quickly without sacrificing quality.

This role is deeply interdisciplinary. You'll spend a lot of time listening, asking questions, and translating between scientists, product, engineering, and AI research. We are an AI-native engineering team: we use coding agents heavily, move fast, and hold a very high bar for engineering excellence.
What You'll Work On
  • Build and own full-stack product features across the Phylo platform, from user-facing UI to backend services.
  • Design and implement frontend-heavy experiences for interacting with AI agents, workflows, and scientific tools.
  • Own critical product surfaces such as billing, usage tracking, authentication, permissions, and account management.
  • Collaborate closely with scientists, AI researchers, and engineers to translate capabilities into intuitive, production-ready product features.
  • Ship quickly, iterate based on feedback, and continuously raise the bar on product quality, reliability, and performance.
Requirements
  • 2+ years of industry experience as a product, full-stack, or frontend-leaning software engineer.
  • Strong experience building modern web applications (e.g. React, TypeScript, or similar frameworks).
  • Comfort working across the stack (frontend, backend, and infrastructure) and strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across biologists, product, engineering, and AI teams.
  • Strong product instincts - you care deeply about UX, polish, and how real users experience the system.
  • Ability to move fast, own features end-to-end, and operate with high autonomy.
  • High standards for code quality, maintainability, and engineering excellence.
Nice to Have
  • Experience building AI-powered products, agent interfaces, or developer tools.
  • Familiarity with sandboxed or isolated execution environments for agents or user code.
  • Experience with billing systems, metering, or enterprise SaaS features.
  • Experience working in AI-native teams that use coding agents or automation extensively.
  • Interest in scientific, biomedical, or research-focused products.

Why Join Us?
  • Competitive salary and equity - share in building the future of biomedical discovery
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, including free therapy sessions and eyewear stipend
  • 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security (US only)
  • Unlimited PTO to recharge when you need it (US only)
  • Lunch and snacks when you're in the office
  • Regular team offsites and company events
  • A culture of excellence and speed - we move fast, think big, and support each other every step of the way
  • Your work will directly impact our mission to 100X biomedical discoveries through AI
