    • Design and scale systems that process large volumes of structured and unstructured data
    • Build integrations with legacy systems through browser automation and APIs
    • Own product development from 01 MVP to scaling (110)
    • Collaborate closely with customers to understand workflows and incorporate feedback
    • Optimize performance, reliability, and scalability of production systems
    • Balance product, engineering, and business priorities in decision-making

    Ideal Candidate Background

    • Strong proficiency in TypeScript (Python is a plus)
    • Proven experience building and shipping user-facing products
    • Experience working at VC-backed startups (Seed to Series E)
    • Strong product mindset with ability to own features end-to-end
    • Experience building scalable systems and handling complex data workflows
    • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

    Preferred

    • Experience building AI-powered products or automation systems
    • Experience working with messy/unstructured data (PDFs, documents, etc.)
    • Background in fintech, insurtech, or vertical SaaS
    • Strong academic background (top CS programs)
    • Experience working in high-growth, product-driven environments
    • Experience with browser automation or integration-heavy systems

    Compensation and Benefits

    • Competitive base salary: $200,000 – $320,000
    • Equity: ~0.1% – 0.3%
    • High-growth startup with strong traction and product-market fit
    • Opportunity to work on real-world AI systems with immediate customer impact
    • High ownership and direct collaboration with founders
    • In-office collaboration with a small, high-performing team
    • Fast hiring process

    This is a high-impact role for product engineers who want to build AI systems that directly automate complex workflows in a massive, underserved industry.
