Software Engineer, Product

What You'll Do

• Build and ship high quality customer-facing products and features.
• Own products from concept to production, ensuring they are performant, reliable, and delightful for users.
• Make good product and design decisions, and be open to feedback and collaborative creation.
• Bring a strong product instinct — push back when something doesn't make sense, and propose your own ideas to help make our product even better.
• Partner with product and design teams to shape what we build, not just how we build it.
• Identify bottlenecks, build great monitoring, propose solutions, and optimize performance across both frontend and backend systems.
• Help raise the bar for product quality, design polish, and craft as the team grows.

About You

• 4+ years of experience shipping external-facing products as a full-stack or product engineer with strong product taste and judgment.
• Proficient in React, TypeScript, Next.js, and JS runtimes.
• High agency and a bias toward action; you talk to users, you iterate, you ship.
• AI-forward in your workflow. You use coding agents often, found interesting ways to automate your work, and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t.
• Comfortable in a small, fast-moving environment where boundaries between teams are intentionally fluid.
• Strong written communication and a collaborative working style with PMs and designers.

Bonus Points

• Prior experience at fast growing applied AI or product led companies.
• Experience building product in fast-moving, ambiguous industries.
• Existing user of OpenRouter or active side projects in AI tooling.
