Agora Intelligence, doing business as Tilt, is building an audited methodology layer and open platform for rules-based investment strategies used by humans and AI agents. The Principal Product Engineer will own major product areas, build across the stack, shape technical direction, and help define AI-native investing through reliable, scalable software.
Responsibilities
- Own major product areas from architecture through production, shipping features that customers use every day
- Build across the stack—from AI orchestration and backend services to APIs and frontend experiences
- Work closely with designers and AI/ML researchers to turn ambitious product ideas into fast, reliable software
- Design systems that scale while remaining simple enough to evolve as the product changes
- Make thoughtful engineering tradeoffs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
- Identify technical bottlenecks before they become organizational bottlenecks
- Raise the engineering bar through technical leadership, code reviews, mentoring, and a bias toward pragmatic execution
- Continuously improve how we build by leveraging AI throughout development, testing, debugging, and deployment
Skills
- You've spent years building products, not just software, and understand the difference
- You naturally think about customer outcomes alongside technical implementation
- You have strong engineering fundamentals and are comfortable working anywhere in the stack when the product requires it
- You're able to decompose messy, ambiguous problems into simple, maintainable systems
- You know when to invest in architecture and when to optimize for shipping
- You communicate technical ideas clearly and enjoy working closely with designers, researchers, and founders
- You're comfortable taking ownership without waiting for direction and enjoy building from first principles
- You believe AI should fundamentally change how software is built and actively use it as part of your engineering workflow
- Experience building AI-native products, agentic systems, or developer platforms
- Experience designing and operating production systems with high reliability and observability
- Strong intuition for product—you enjoy shaping what gets built, not just implementing requirements
- Experience at an early-stage startup where you've owned significant technical decisions
- A track record of simplifying complex systems rather than adding unnecessary complexity
- You're energized by difficult technical problems and continuously seek better ways to build software
