They are seeking a Senior Product Engineer to lead the development of agentic, LLM-powered features, ensuring quality and continuous improvement in their product offerings.
Responsibilities
- Full-stack web application development using TypeScript/JavaScript on top of Zero
- Architect and implement customer-facing, LLM-based application layers
- Design APIs for human and agent consumption
- Evaluate and iterate on models, prompts, and eval pipelines to balance quality, latency, and cost
- Take turns as the on-call engineer
Skills
- 5+ years of professional experience building SaaS web applications, with hands-on experience incorporating agents and LLMs into production over the last 2+ years
- Professional experience building with TypeScript/JavaScript, Node, Postgres (or similar RDBMS), and AWS (or similar cloud platform)
- LLMs in production: You've built evals, observability, or safety guardrails for LLM systems
- Agent leverage: You use agentic coding tools daily, you know how to structure work so agents execute it well, and you rigorously verify what they produce
- Product taste: You dig into user problems, cut through ambiguity, and define clear outcomes before implementation begins
- Speed, in both senses: you'd rather ship and adjust course than wait for the perfect plan, and you keep pace with rapidly changing tools
- Production experience with Zero or a comparable state-synchronization framework
- You enjoy writing or speaking publicly about what you learn; we'll give you the platform if that's your thing
Benefits
- Equity, giving you real ownership in what we're building
