О компании и продукте

• Join a small, high-ownership product team at an early-stage AI and automation startup as a Backend-Leaning Product Engineer. This is a hands-on, end-to-end ownership role where you'll build real-world AI-driven products, navigate messy integrations, and make fast product and engineering trade-offs with strong judgment — without heavy PM support. You'll work closely with founders and customers in a hybrid in-office environment in San Francisco.
• This is a great fit if you thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving startup environments and have a track record of shipping, not just planning.

Задачи

• Own features end-to-end — from design through shipping and iteration
• Make independent product and engineering decisions with minimal oversight
• Build and maintain backend systems, APIs, data models, and automation pipelines
• Integrate with external tools, legacy systems, and third-party services
• Design workflows and orchestration layers for AI/automation-driven products
• Debug production issues and exercise strong engineering judgment under pressure
• Contribute full-stack when needed, with a clear emphasis on backend ownership
• Collaborate directly with founders, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders

Требования

• Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, and maintaining data models and automation pipelines for backend systems
• Proven ability to debug production issues and apply strong engineering judgment in troubleshooting
• Track record of shipping real customer-facing products, ideally in 0-to-1 or ambiguous/messy startup environments
• Experience with backend systems, APIs, data modeling, integrations, and automation
• Comfort working in a very small, fast-moving team with little structure
• Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate
• hybrid/in-office presence required

Будет плюсом

• Applied AI or workflow/orchestration experience — agentic workflows, RAG, or LLM-enabled features
• Python experience
• modern web/backend stacks are acceptable — engineering quality matters more than specific stack
• Background as an early/founding engineer, startup generalist, or product engineer from a scaling startup
• Close prior collaboration with founders or customers on customer-facing features
• Not a fit if: you are frontend-only, data/internal-tools-only, pure DevOps/SRE without product ownership, pure research/ML without shipping experience, or primarily motivated by corporate titles

Условия

• Base salary: up to $275,000 USD annually
• Equity: meaningful equity stake
• Visa sponsorship: not available
• LOCATION
• This role is on-site / hybrid in San Francisco, CA
• Candidates must be based in San Francisco or willing to relocate
• Remote work is not available for this position
