JD — the work
About the role
You would own whole product areas at a young, seed-funded AI startup, led by an experienced repeat founder, that is reshaping procurement for the enormous consumer packaged goods market. As one of about six engineers shipping customer-facing work every week, you would build AI tools that convert chaotic supplier correspondence and files into structured, usable records. The product is already in paid use by customers, and the team works together in the Bay Area office five days a week.
What you'll do
- Run entire product areas, like comparing suppliers, tracking certifications, and handling quotes, across backend and UI
- Ship model-powered features that extract, compare, retrieve, and draft, with evals and fallback paths built in
- Release every week, favoring working software over polish
- Sit in on customer calls to learn needs directly and shape them into features
- Keep systems healthy by fixing root causes rather than symptoms
What they're looking for
- 5+ years shipping production systems, with genuine full-stack depth
- At least 2 years at a seed through Series B startup; experience only at large companies will not fit
- Real care for UX and clear opinions about how the interface should work
- AI-fluent: agentic coding tools are part of your workflow, and your LLM features are dependable enough to sell
- Committed to five days a week in the office and comfortable without detailed specs
