We are building the intelligence layer behind next-generation consumer and brand platforms--AI-driven systems that combine large language models, data, and real-world decision-making. As an

Early Career Product Engineer - AI Platforms

, you will help create core product capabilities and infrastructure from first principles.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you'll work directly with the founding team to design, build, and evolve production-grade AI products. You will influence not just how systems are built, but how the product and engineering culture take shape.

What You'll Build

AI-First Products:

Develop and ship production-ready, LLM-centric applications that solve real business problems.

End-to-End Systems:

Own features across the stack--from backend architecture and data flows to user-facing experiences.

Founder Collaboration:

Partner closely with founders on product discovery, technical trade-offs, and execution decisions.

Scalable Foundations:

Design backend systems that scale with usage while remaining fast, reliable, and maintainable.

Rapid Iteration:

Experiment, learn from real-world usage, and continuously improve product quality and impact.

Quality Ownership:

Take responsibility for performance, reliability, and engineering excellence across everything you ship.

Who This Role Is Designed For
Engineers early in their careers (1-3 years experience) with strong product instincts and builder mentality.
Developers who have worked on real products--startups, AI platforms, or technically ambitious projects.
Problem-solvers who thrive in ambiguity and enjoy turning loose ideas into shipped, usable systems.
Engineers who value ownership, accountability, and learning over rigid titles or processes.

Bonus Points
Experience building or deploying AI or LLM-powered systems.
Open-source contributions or participation in recognized technical programs (e.g., Google Summer of Code).
Personal side projects or previously shipped products with real users.
Genuine passion for engineering and building beyond day-to-day tasks.

Not the Right Fit If
You prefer highly structured environments with fixed playbooks and limited autonomy.
You avoid ownership or long-term responsibility for systems you build.
You are seeking a remote-only position.

Why You'll Love This Role
Work on live, production-scale AI products from day one.
Direct access to founders and real influence over product and technical decisions.
Opportunity to shape core systems and engineering culture early.
Steep learning curve in a small, high-trust, high-velocity team.
