Product Engineer
This role is for someone who wants to feel like a founder while staying an IC: building, designing, and shaping a product with massive ambition.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Product Engineer — someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves taking products from zero to one, and blends product management instincts, design taste, and engineering craft into one.
This isn’t a conventional IC role. You’ll be hands-on in defining, designing, and building the future of our AI-driven HR & Legal Bot, working directly with founders and a small team that moves fast. You’ll ship early and often, and you’ll take pride in solving problems against the odds.
What You’ll Do
Drive 0→1 product development — from raw idea to prototype to shipped product.
Own discovery & execution — talk to users, frame problems, define MVPs, and iterate.
Design with taste — wireframe, prototype, and craft thoughtful user flows (Figma or similar).
Build full stack applications — end-to-end features (frontend, backend, integrations) that bring ideas to life.
Lead without a title — rally teammates, push projects forward, and step into leadership moments when momentum requires it.
Bias for action — validate by building, not just talking.
What We’re Looking For
Startup DNA — experience in fast-moving, scrappy environments (or having built your own).
Strong across product management, design, and full stack engineering — you’re not just an engineer who codes, you think in terms of users and products.
Excellent design sense — ability to wireframe and prototype independently.
Full stack engineering skills — comfortable across frontend and backend (React/Next.js, Node/Go/Python, etc.).
Bold communicator — outspoken, opinionated, and willing to challenge assumptions.
Thrives in hustle culture — thrives in ambiguity, speed, and pressure to deliver.
Bonus: experience working on AI products (LLMs, agents, or chatbots).
Interview Process
⚠️ Note: Our interview process is intentionally hard by design. We want people who embrace pressure, love solving against the odds, and are hungry to build at startup speed. However, we do not require a homework assignment - that’s not fair to either of us. Expect:
Recruiter Introduction and Role/Fit Check (30 min)
Hiring Manager Screening Call (30 min) – alignment on vision, hustle fit, and communication style. Question: Pick 2 of three challenge
Microdesign challengeMicroproduct challengeMicroengineering challengePick two of three

Leadership SignOff - Behavioral /Cultural
Why Join Us
Impact: Build and shape an AI company from the ground up.
Ownership: Direct influence on product direction, design, and engineering.
Team: Join a small, ambitious group that values boldness, autonomy, and execution.
Momentum: We’re moving fast — your work will ship to real users quickly.
We will consider for employment all qualified applicants who meet the inherent requirements for the position. Please note that background checks are required, and this may include criminal record checks.
