Full Job Description

We9re looking for product-minded builders to create essential, customer-facing features. You should have a notable technical 2 spike,2 whether that9s crafting sophisticated React interfaces or architecting robust backend infrastructure.

As a Product Engineer, you9ll build polished experiences that solve real customer problems. You9ll collaborate across design and engineering, contribute to product and technical decisions, and take features from development through launch.

What you9ll work on here
  • Building the full lifecycle: Partnering with design and engineering to architect and ship customer-facing functionality from the ground up
  • Solving complex technical challenges: You9ll tackle difficult problems, from optimizing virtualized rendering to architecting reliable content management system
  • Driving user experience: Contributing to a frictionless UX, handling the last-mile refinements that transform working code into a great product
  • Performance and scale: Enhancing application speed through profiling and build scalable solutions that evolve with our growing user base
  • Shaping product direction and engineering approaches across the stack
What you bring to the table
  • A technical 2 spike2: You have strong experience in either:
    • Frontend: React, Next.js, and TypeScript, including component architecture, state management, and rendering performance
    • Backend: Systems design, API architecture, and database optimization
  • You have strong product intuition and care about the 2 why2 as much as the 2 how2 when building user-facing software
  • You are adaptable and willing to jump into new territory across the stack to ship a feature
  • You appreciate a high degree of ownership and thrive when defining solutions rather than following a spec
  • You9re eager to talk directly with customers and use those insights to shape what we build
Why you should join our engineering team
  • You9ll solve technically ambitious product problems alongside a team that values craft, speed, and thoughtful execution. Here9s a taste of what the team has built:
    • How we built a virtual filesystem for our Assistant
    • Introducing the collaborative editor built for teams and agents
    • Docs URL Benchmark: Markdown & llms.txt > HTML
  • Engineers here are product builders with high agency; you9ll drive change and have a voice in strategic decisions
  • You9ll have plenty of heads-down builder time on a small-but-mighty team where the best ideas win
  • We9ll find the intersection between what excites you and business priorities. You9ll own projects, ship, and see immediate impact
Company Benefits:
  • Competitive compensation and equity
  • 20 days paid time off every year
  • 401k
  • $420/month wellness stipend
  • 100% coverage for Health, dental, vision
  • Free Ubers to and from work
  • Free lunch and dinners
  • Annual team offsite (previously went to Alaska, Hawaii)
