> Product Engineer owning customer-facing areas end-to-end at an AI government contracting platform. Ship daily from whiteboard to production using TypeScript, SvelteKit, Postgres; aggressively leverage AI coding tools; 5+ years full-stack experience required.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Take ownership of high-impact product areas and ship customer-facing improvements daily — from whiteboard to production.
- Rapidly iterate on UI, UX, and core application logic based on real user feedback and production data.
- Decompose ambiguous product goals into clear engineering plans, execute them, and measure outcomes.
- Use AI pair-programming tools to 5–10x your productivity, and push the team to do the same.
- Monitor production metrics, troubleshoot issues in real time, own the reliability of what you ship, and contribute to the platform architecture decisions that define how the product scales.
- Work closely with design, the founding team, customers, and CS to understand pain points, translate feedback into product decisions, and close the loop.

## Requirements
- 5+ years of full-stack engineering with a proven record of shipping customer-facing features end-to-end — real products to real users, not just features inside someone else's architecture.
- Strong frontend TypeScript skills with modern frameworks (Svelte/SvelteKit strongly preferred; React/Next.js acceptable).
- Hands-on Postgres and backend TypeScript experience — you've designed schemas, written migrations, and optimized queries.
- Daily, fluent use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf) as a genuine multiplier, not a novelty.
- Ability to decompose ambiguous problems into shippable increments and communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where priorities shift and you own the outcome, plus experience with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and production monitoring.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with the AI SDK (Vercel AI SDK or similar), AI-first UX patterns, RAG pipelines, or AI agent architectures.
- A background in government contracting, the military, or the intelligence community.
- Experience in FedRAMP, IL, HIPAA, or other regulated environments.
- Open-source work.

## Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $180,000 – $250,000
- Equity: Meaningful stake in a well-funded, fast-growing startup
- Benefits: medical, vision, and dental, unlimited PTO
- Brooklyn Navy Yard office, 3+ days a week in person.
