Full Job Description
About the Role

This is a full-stack Product Engineer role at a small, fast-moving AI-powered recruiting platform in San Francisco. You will work directly alongside founders, product, and design to build user-facing features end-to-end, shaping both technical direction and product outcomes at an early stage of growth.
What You'll Do
  • Own product features from requirements through to production deployment.
  • Design APIs and data models, then implement both frontend and backend code.
  • Ship and iterate on user-facing experiences, balancing usability, performance, and feedback-driven improvements.
  • Integrate LLM and AI capabilities into core product flows in a reliable, production-grade way.
  • Build and maintain scalable backend services, data schemas, and operational tooling including CI/CD, monitoring, and testing.
  • Collaborate with founders, product, and design to prioritize work and define success metrics.
  • Contribute to architecture and roadmap discussions, making pragmatic tradeoffs suited to early-stage growth.
What We're Looking For
  • 2 to 8 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing products.
  • Strong full-stack skills: TypeScript and React/Next.js on the frontend, plus Python or Node.js on the backend.
  • Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.
  • Practical, production experience integrating LLMs or other AI services (engineering focus, not research).
  • Clear product sense: the ability to translate user problems into practical, measurable solutions.
  • Comfort operating in small teams with limited process, high ambiguity, and context-switching across frontend, backend, and DevOps.
  • Experience with multi-tenant or enterprise-ready systems, API design, real-time systems, or high-throughput applications is a plus.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows and background in regulated industries such as healthcare, fintech, or legal is a bonus.
Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: $150,000 to $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location

On-site in San Francisco, California, United States. This is not a remote role.
