By continuing to innovate and deliver for our customers, we have become a household name and the must-have mobile-based membership for families (and those friends who are basically family).

Life360 has more than 500 (and growing!) remote-first employees. For more information, please visit life360.com.

Life360 is a Remote-First company, which means a remote work environment will be the primary experience for all employees. All positions, unless otherwise specified, can be performed remotely (within the US) regardless of any specified location above.

We Are AI Native

We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.

Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy.

About the Team

The AI Native Platform team is a cross-functional engineering organization built to lay the infrastructure foundations for Life360's AI-native transformation. We are not exploring what might be possible, we are building the platform that makes it operational.

The team works across four interconnected areas: how Life360 safely accesses and governs the use of frontier AI models and external integrations; the agent deployment and workflow infrastructure that lets teams build, test, version, and operate autonomous agents with the same rigor applied to any production software; how we safely democratize data, information, and knowledge across the organization, making it queryable and usable by AI systems and humans reliably; and a multiplayer AI workbench that gives every employee a purpose-built environment tuned to their role, with relevant tools, knowledge, and workflows rather than a general-purpose chat interface.

The work is deliberate, high-velocity, and built to last. The bar is high: real use cases, production deployments, measurable outcomes.

Security is not a checkpoint on this team. It is part of how we build. We are looking for engineers who want to be in the room where the architecture is designed and in the codebase where it's being built.

About the Job

We are hiring a Principal AI Security Engineer to secure Life360's AI infrastructure as it takes shape. You will sit within the AI Native Platform team, reporting directly to the CISO, working alongside the engineers designing and building each layer of the platform.

This role requires both architectural depth and hands-on execution, often in the same week. You will define the security architecture other engineers build within; the trust model, authorization framework, data boundary topology, and threat model. Guide the coherence of these patterns across the teams building model access, agent infrastructure, the knowledge layer, and the end-user platform to interoperate securely and drift doesn't introduce systemic risk. The patterns we are securing are still being defined. Part of the work is figuring out which approaches hold up under real conditions, which ones don't, and scaling what works.You won't be doing this alone, you'll work alongside additional security engineers and the broader team building the platform, with the expectation that this function grows as the platform does.

The data at stake has real weight. Life360's systems carry real-time location data and family relationship graphs for tens of millions of people. These are crown jewels in the truest sense — irreplaceable to the families who trust us with them. Securing the AI systems that interact with this data is not a compliance exercise. It is a core obligation of the product.

The US-based salary range for this position is $239,500 to $351,500. We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary — therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

What You'll Do

• Own the security strategy for frontier model access and MCP governance. Define how we securely connect to frontier models and external tool integrations: the risk framework, the authorization architecture, and the escalation model before those patterns harden at scale. Set the direction that builders implement within
• Architect the identity and trust model for non-human agents. Define how agents authenticate, how trust is established and revoked across orchestration chains, and how the model evolves as agent capabilities expand, covering service identities, scoped credentials, and least-privilege access patterns across the platform.
• Set the adversarial defense posture for AI systems in production. Define our approach to prompt injection defense, adversarial input handling, and behavioral monitoring patterns and establish the detection philosophy, telemetry requirements, and response framework the team builds and operates within.
• Shape security architecture for the common AI end-user platform. Lead design reviews and build the access controls, data boundary enforcement, and abuse detection that keep a shared AI environment safe across an employee population with varying privilege levels.
• Secure the shared knowledge layer. Define access control and data governance for retrieval and reasoning, ensuring AI-powered tools don't inadvertently surface sensitive data to the wrong systems or users.
• Build AI supply chain integrity into the platform. Develop model provenance practices, service vetting, and dependency controls that keep the AI stack trustworthy as it grows.
• Partner with Privacy, Legal, and Data Platform to ensure the right controls are built into pipelines handling real-time location, family relationship data, and data involving minors.

What We're Looking For

• 15+ years in security engineering with depth in application security, cloud security, IAM, or detection. A track record of building controls that earn adoption, not just approval.
• Security architecture ownership you’ve defined at the platform level in terms of trust models, data boundary topologies, and long-term viability that produces security outcomes without grinding velocity. 
• Hands-on fluency with LLM and agentic systems. You've built with these tools, broken them, and shipped fixes for prompt pipelines , RAG architectures, and multi-agent orchestration from the inside. 
• Deep grounding in IAM for non-human systems: service identities, OAuth, secrets management, RBAC/ABAC, and least-privilege architecture at scale. You’ve designed and built identity systems, not just consumed them
• Experience with production telemetry and detection at an architectural level. You’ve defined security observability strategies, not just individual detections
• Comfort with ambiguity and in-flight builds. You're energized by figuring things out, writing first-draft standards, testing approaches, and scaling what works.
• Strategic judgement on when to build v. buy and ability to lead the organization to wise investments.
• Strong cross-functional communication across engineering, product, legal, privacy, and senior leadership. You carry risk, tradeoffs, and technical decisions without losing precision..
• You’ve contributed or ready to contribute to the security industry. We’re shaping these patterns together and you’re willing to represent Life360 in these conversations.
• Familiarity with NIST AI RMF, OWASP LLM Top 10, and adjacent compliance environments for consumer data at scale.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with frontier model API security, tool-use authorization patterns, or access governance for AI systems at scale.
• Hands-on experience with multi-agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar) and their trust, identity, and authorization challenges.
• Familiarity with knowledge graph architectures, vector stores, or RAG systems — and the access control and data boundary problems they introduce.
• Red teaming or adversarial testing against AI systems: prompt injection, jailbreaks, data extraction, model inversion, or supply chain attacks.
• Background in consumer technology or another domain where personal data sensitivity is a core product obligation — not just a legal requirement.
• Experience designing or reviewing security for internal enterprise AI platforms serving non-technical users.

Our Benefits

• Competitive pay and benefits
• Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
• 401(k) plan with company matching program
• Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental well-being
• Flexible PTO, 13 company-wide days off throughout the year
• Winter and Summer Weeklong Synchronized Company Shutdowns
• Learning & Development programs
• Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment
• Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle
• Free Tile Products

#LI-Remote

We're hiring a Principal Technologist to own one of our most important strategic initiatives end-to-end. This is a senior individual contributor role that spans product and engineering. You set the product direction, design the systems, ship the software, and own the outcome.

You won't write requirements and hand them to engineering. You won't architect systems and hand them to a PM. You will do both. You own the strategy, define the metrics, and build the systems. If you're an engineering leader looking to get back to building with the strategic scope and seniority you've earned, this is that role.

We are building a technology organization where empowered individuals own business outcomes, not tasks. Our Technologists are the single-threaded owners who make that model work. You operate with high autonomy and a direct line to executive leadership. You ship incremental progress in a fast cadence: define a goal, land it, demo it, measure it.

The work is technically demanding and strategically important. You'll operate in a data-rich, regulated environment where AI is reshaping what's possible, from agentic systems that reason over business data to AI-assisted workflows that compress build cycles from months to minutes. You should be excited by that shift, not intimidated by it.

As a Principal Technologist, you will:

• Be fully accountable for your initiative's outcomes. Own the product strategy, technical strategy, and delivery.
• Translate high-level goals into concrete work streams with clear milestones and metrics that connect operational progress to financial impact.
• Drive system design, technology selection, and architecture decisions, including AI-forward systems. Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed and durability, holding the line on engineering quality while keeping velocity high.
• Own delivery personally. You will pull in engineers, data analysts, and other specialists as needed, but you are the one building — not managing the building of — your initiative's systems.
• Become your initiative's subject matter expert. Go deep on the business domain, user needs, operational workflows, and data landscape. Influence across teams through clarity and the expertise you cultivate.
• Design experiments, define success criteria, and use data to guide product and technical tradeoffs. Make progress legible to leadership as a byproduct of your methodology.

Success in this role looks like:

• First 90 days:
  • Deeply understand the business model, technology landscape, and your initiative's strategic context. Build key relationships across engineering, data, operations, and executive leadership.
  • Own a clear 3–6 month product and technical plan aligned to business objectives. Establish a delivery cadence and ship your first measurable increment.
• First 6 months:
  • You have shipped multiple increments with measurable impact on your initiative's core metrics. Progress is visible, incremental, and consistent.
  • You have established yourself as the single-threaded owner of your initiative. Leadership and operations teams trust your judgment; stakeholders are aligned.
• First year:
  • Your initiative has delivered fundamental business value you can quantify and stand behind.
  • The systems and patterns you've built are durable and well-documented. You've raised the bar for what outcome-driven Principal Technologistership looks like at Clover.

You should get in touch if:

• You have proven engineering experience and product judgment, having operated as a tech lead, staff engineer, or senior PM with deep technical fluency.
• You have shipped complex programs or products end-to-end — not just advised on them or managed parts of them. You've owned outcomes, not just deliverables.
• You have recent, hands-on experience with AI/LLM systems: building, shipping, or operating AI-backed features, agentic workflows, or ML-driven products. You have opinions about where the field is going.
• You are technically strong: comfortable with system design, distributed systems, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. You can hold your own in architecture discussions and make sound technical tradeoffs.
• You are fluent in data and have used data and experimentation to make product and engineering decisions.
• You thrive in ambiguity. When no playbook exists, you build one. When priorities conflict, you force-rank them. When coordination breaks down, you fix it.
• You don't need positional authority to lead. You earn trust and create alignment through clarity, quality, and velocity.

Benefits Overview:

• Financial Well-Being: Our commitment to attracting and retaining top talent begins with a competitive base salary and equity opportunities. Additionally, we offer a performance-based bonus program, 401k matching, and regular compensation reviews to recognize and reward exceptional contributions.
• Physical Well-Being: We prioritize the health and well-being of our employees and their families by providing comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Your health matters to us, and we invest in ensuring you have access to quality healthcare.
• Mental Well-Being: We understand the importance of mental health in fostering productivity and maintaining work-life balance. To support this, we offer initiatives such as No-Meeting Fridays, monthly company holidays, access to mental health resources, and a generous flexible time-off policy. Additionally, we embrace a remote-first culture that supports collaboration and flexibility, allowing our team members to thrive from any location. 
• Professional Development: Developing internal talent is a priority for Clover. We offer learning programs, mentorship, professional development funding, and regular performance feedback and reviews.

Additional Perks:

• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) offering discounted equity opportunities
• Reimbursement for office setup expenses
• Monthly cell phone & internet stipend
• Remote-first culture, enabling collaboration with global teams
• Paid parental leave for all new parents
• And much more!

About Clover: We are reinventing health insurance by combining the power of data with human empathy to keep our members healthier. We believe the healthcare system is broken, so we've created custom software and analytics to empower our clinical staff to intervene and provide personalized care to the people who need it most.

We always put our members first, and our success as a team is measured by the quality of life of the people we serve. Those who work at Clover are passionate and mission-driven individuals with diverse areas of expertise, working together to solve the most complicated problem in the world: healthcare.

From Clover’s inception, Diversity & Inclusion have always been key to our success. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and our employees are people with different strengths, experiences, perspectives, opinions, and backgrounds, who share a passion for improving people's lives. Diversity not only includes race and gender identity, but also age, disability status, veteran status, sexual orientation, religion and many other parts of one’s identity. All of our employee’s points of view are key to our success, and inclusion is everyone's responsibility.

The Company

Sendbird is on a mission to build the AI workforce of tomorrow. For over a decade, we built the infrastructure behind conversations chat, voice, video, messaging APIs and became the #1 CPaaS platform for in-app communications. 4,000+ brands trust us. 7 billion messages flow through our platform every month. 300 million monthly active users.

We powered conversations for DoorDash, Match Group, Noom, Yahoo Sports, Rakuten, and thousands of others. We were good at what we did. Really good.

We also saw it early: AI would fundamentally reshape how businesses talk to customers. The infrastructure we'd spent a decade building would become commoditized. The value would move up the stack into intelligence, into experience, into outcomes.

We had a choice: protect what we built, or reinvent ourselves.

We chose reinvention.

In December 2024, we made the full strategic pivot to AI first customer experience. By February 2025, we'd launched our AI agent for enterprise CX built on a decade of conversation data, now with intelligence on top. And in November 2025, we rebranded to Delight.ai.

The name says it all. AI's real promise isn't efficiency or cost savings. It's giving customers back something they lost the feeling of being truly understood and cared for. Not satisfied. Delighted.

The Product

Delight.ai is the AI concierge for customer experience. Most AI agents forget you the moment the conversation ends. Ours doesn't. Delight.ai builds memory over time, learns preferences, and connects context across every channel chat, SMS, email, voice, WhatsApp without losing the thread. We're building AI that makes customers feel understood, seen, and remembered.

Why Sales Engineer

AI is reshaping how enterprises think about customer communication. Sophisticated buyers no longer just want to know if our platform works. They want to know if it works for them, at their scale, inside their architecture, with their team.

We're at an inflection point: a decade of conversation infrastructure, now with AI on top, and a pipeline of buyers who need a technical partner, not a pitch deck. The Sales Engineers who thrive here earn trust from a principal engineer and a VP of Product in the same meeting, and use AI natively to work faster, demo smarter, and operate at a scale a traditional SE simply couldn't.

The Role

You own the technical sales cycle, from discovery through solution design to close, turning complex customer problems into confident reasons to choose Sendbird. You thrive at the intersection of technical depth and business impact, know the difference between a demo that informs and one that inspires, and use AI natively to move faster and do more than a traditional SE could alone. This is a hybrid role based in our San Mateo office (3 days/week). This role reports to the Global Head of Technical Services, based in San Mateo, CA

You might be this person if:

• Mapping a customer's architecture is a puzzle to solve, not a box to check, and you've already spun up a Claude Project or n8n workflow to automate the research before the call ends.
• You read a room fast, shifting depth and language on the fly between a skeptical backend engineer and a time pressed CTO.
• Your demos tell a story. You don't walk through features, you show people a future they hadn't imagined, using AI powered prototypes and agentic tools to make it land.
• You build Claude Projects, custom GPTs, and agentic workflows for your team out of genuine curiosity, not because your job requires it.
• You treat every discovery call like a research project, backed by AI-assisted prep agents and follow-up automations in Make or n8n so the repetitive work runs without you.
• You figure out what the customer needs before they tell you, propose the architecture, and ship it. If a bespoke dashboard or Claude-powered automation would close the deal, you build it.
• You're energized by multiple complex deals at once, partly because AI agents and workflow automation have eliminated the parts that don't require you.

You need to have:

• 3+ years in Sales Engineering (pre-sales) at a developer-focused platform SaaS and/or CPaaS company
• Bachelor's degree (CS, EE) or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Hands-on fluency with RESTful APIs, mobile SDKs, and integration workflows, with a clear understanding of how modern customer engagement workflows are built and scaled
• Working knowledge of at least one development environment (JavaScript/React, iOS/Swift, Android/Kotlin, Unity, React Native, or Flutter)
• Practical experience with generative AI concepts including LLMs, AI agents, and agentic workflows. You've built with these tools, not just read about them
• Familiarity with AI tooling such as Claude or ChatGPT, and automation platforms such as Make, Zapier, or n8n. Experience stringing together APIs or building lightweight automations is a strong plus
• Confidence navigating security and compliance conversations (SOC 2, ISO-27001/42001, HIPAA, GDPR) with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong written and verbal communication in English
• Ability to travel for customer onsite visits

What you'll actually do:

• Own the technical narrative across the full deal cycle, from discovery calls and technical deep dives to executive presentations, alongside Account Executives at every stage.
• Run structured discovery with engineers, product managers, and architects to surface real pain points and map them to Sendbird's APIs, SDKs, and AI agent capabilities, using AI-assisted prep workflows to come in sharper every time.
• Design solution architectures tailored to each customer's stack and goals, whether they're building an AI-powered in-app chat experience, deploying an AI support agent, or scaling to millions of users.
• Build and deliver demos that go beyond feature walkthroughs, using agentic tools and custom prototypes to show customers what their product could actually become with Sendbird underneath it.
• Automate repeatable pre-sales work, including lead research, follow-up summaries, and demo environment setup, using tools like Claude, Make, or n8n, freeing you for the work AI can't do.
• Articulate Sendbird's security and compliance posture clearly and confidently, helping enterprise buyers navigate procurement.
• Work closely with Product and Engineering to feed pre-sales insights back into the roadmap, serving as a direct line between the market and the people building the product.
• Track emerging trends in AI agents, developer tooling, and communication infrastructure, and bring those insights into customer conversations.

What we offer:

We take care of the people who build the future. Here's some of what you can expect when you join Sendbird.

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, on us. Sendbird covers 100% of the premium for our employees and roughly 80% for their dependents.
• Generous time off. 20 days PTO, 13 company holidays, 7 sick days, 2 rest & rejuvenation days, 1 volunteer day, and your birthday off.

About the Role

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer with deep roots in adtech infrastructure and a genuine conviction about what AI-native engineering looks like in practice. This role is backend-focused at its core — you'll work on the systems that power our exchange, from bid request processing and traffic shaping to data pipelines and auction logic. But we're also at an inflection point in how we build software, and we want this person to help lead us through it.

From a generative/agentic AI capabilities standpoint, we already use LLMs and agentic tooling across our data stack and, we’re looking for is someone who can help us take that from general adoption to intentional practice — who has strong opinions about where AI creates real leverage in a high-throughput adtech environment, and who can bring the rest of the engineering organization along with them.

Languages/components/tools in our stack: Java, Kafka (Redpanda), AWS, Databricks, Datadog, ONYX.

What you'll be doing:

• Own the design and evolution of backend systems that operate at exchange scale — high throughput, low latency, always on
• Lead architectural decisions across auction infrastructure, bid processing, traffic shaping, and supply-side integrations
• Establish and champion AI engineering practices across the team — from prompt engineering and RAG patterns to agentic workflow design and LLM evaluation
• Identify high-leverage opportunities to apply AI in our adtech stack: traffic scoring and filtering, bid shading, yield optimization, anomaly detection, and automated decisioning
• Set standards for how we evaluate, trust, and operate AI-powered systems in production — including observability, fallback behavior, and model governance
• Drive technical standards, design reviews, and engineering best practices across a senior team
• Partner with product, data science, and platform teams to ship end-to-end
• Help the broader engineering team build fluency and confidence with AI tooling, not just tolerance of it
• Mentor and level up engineers through code review, design collaboration, and hands-on guidance

A successful candidate will have:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong backend track record
• 5+ years working specifically in adtech infrastructure — SSP, DSP, exchange, or ad server environments

• Experience building and operating systems at exchange scale — high QPS, strict latency budgets, fault tolerance
• Demonstrated experience leading AI or agentic engineering efforts in production environments — not just experimentation, but shipped, operated, and iterated on
• Hands-on experience with LLM integration patterns: RAG, tool use, multi-step agentic workflows, prompt engineering, and evaluation frameworks
• Strong distributed systems fundamentals: messaging, caching, service architecture, observability
• Comfort driving technical decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• A point of view on where AI is and isn't the right tool — and the credibility to make that case

About the role

The next generation of behavioral health will be built on agentic AI — systems that don't just predict or summarize, but act: scheduling, coordinating care, drafting clinical documentation, surfacing risk, and orchestrating the hundreds of micro-decisions that today consume clinician and operator time.

Charlie Health's ambition is to build the most advanced agentic systems in healthcare. We are investing in a multi-agent architecture grounded in a real-time clinical signal graph, governed by HIPAA-native infrastructure, and deployed against measurable patient outcomes in a national virtual IOP.

We are hiring a Senior Principal AI Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of these systems across our platform. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with deep cross-functional reach into Engineering, Product, Data, Clinical, and executive leadership.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical owner of agentic AI at Charlie Health, from architecture and model strategy through production deployment and ongoing reliability.
• Lead the development of clinical operations agents that handle scheduling, intake, insurance verification, referral triage, and care coordination, replacing brittle human handoffs with auditable, supervised AI workflows.
• Lead the development of clinician copilots for real-time documentation, risk surfacing, and treatment-plan support, integrated with our EHR and clinical data platform.
• Define and build the agentic substrate: eval frameworks, observability, guardrails, tool registries, prompt and policy versioning, PHI-safe logging, and simulation environments.
• Own the model strategy across frontier models, fine-tunes, distilled specialists, and classic ML, and articulate it clearly to executive and clinical leadership.
• Partner with Product, Clinical, and Data teams to identify high-leverage opportunities for AI across patient and operational experiences.
• Establish best practices around AI reliability, safety, evaluation, and explainability in a regulated clinical environment.
• Mentor engineers and data scientists across the organization and help foster a strong culture of technical excellence and responsible AI innovation.

What you'll work with

• An executive team that has committed to an AI-native operating model and is funding it.
• An AI Guild of senior engineers, data scientists, and clinical operators piloting AI across the company today.
• A modern data foundation including Snowflake, dbt, pgvector, and an emerging Intelligence Layer that exposes patient and operational signals as first-class events.
• Live workstreams in clinical documentation, referral-source conversion modeling, scheduling intelligence, and clinician productivity.
• A national virtual IOP serving patients across 41 states, with the regulated data and outcome signal needed to train, evaluate, and improve real systems.

Why this role is hard

Behavioral health is one of the most demanding applied-AI environments. Patients are often in acute distress. The regulatory surface spans HIPAA, state-by-state telehealth and licensure law, and rising FDA scrutiny of clinical decision support. AI systems in this environment must be observable, reversible, and defensible to clinicians, to regulators, and to internal review.

We are looking for an engineer who finds those constraints clarifying rather than limiting.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with several recent years focused on LLM- or ML-powered systems in production.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating agentic systems, including tool use, planning, multi-agent orchestration, eval design, and failure-mode analysis.
• Track record of owning a complex technical initiative end-to-end, including evaluation infrastructure, observability, on-call, and regulatory or compliance review.
• Strong communication skills and comfort operating across registers, from executive strategy conversations to engineering code review.
• Genuine interest in healthcare and in applying AI responsibly in a regulated, high-stakes domain.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Able to work a hybrid schedule of 4 days/week in our NYC office and located within 75 minutes' commuting distance of the office

Benefits

Charlie Health is pleased to offer comprehensive benefits to all full-time, exempt employees. Read more about our benefits here.

Additional Information

The total target base compensation for this role will be between $350,000 and $600,000 per year at the commencement of employment. Please note, pay will be determined on an individualized basis and will be impacted by location, experience, expertise, internal pay equity, and other relevant business considerations. Further, cash compensation is only part of the total compensation package, which, depending on the position, may include stock options and other Charlie Health-sponsored benefits.  #LI-HYBRID

About Counterpart

Counterpart is an insurtech platform reimagining management and professional liability for the modern workplace. We believe that when businesses lead with clarity and confidence, they become more resilient, more innovative, and better prepared for what's ahead. That's why we built the first Agentic Insurance™ system — where advanced AI and deep insurance expertise come together to proactively assess, mitigate, and manage risk. Backed by A-rated carriers and trusted by brokers nationwide, our platform helps small businesses grow with confidence. Join us in shaping a smarter future, helping businesses Do More With Less Risk®.

The Role

As a Product Engineer at Counterpart, you own problems and drive outcomes. You iron out requirements with stakeholders, partners, and customers. You leverage AI for implementation. You verify the end-to-end result. You iterate until you move the needle.

You run projects with other Product Engineers and AI agents. You know when to delegate to a human, when to delegate to an agent, and when to do it yourself. 

YOU WILL

Own the Problem

• Take accountability for the outcome. 
• Talk directly to your users, stakeholders, and peers to discover the problem. 
• Translate business intents into functional requirements that engineers and agents can build against. Determine where human judgment is non-negotiable and where AI can augment or act autonomously. 
• Own the non-functional technical requirements. Specify the quality bar: performance, scalability, reliability, security, maintainability.

Build with AI

• Write production-quality code across the stack: Python, Django, AWS, React, and PostgreSQL. You are not afraid of any layer.
• Direct agents and review their output with domain depth. Catch what they miss across the functional and non-functional bar: correctness, edge cases, performance, security, testability, readability.
• Evaluate and improve agent output regularly. Track failure modes. Refine the prompts and patterns that lift the quality ceiling over time.
• Run projects that span other Product Engineers and agents. Coordinate work, manage dependencies, and keep things moving without micromanaging.
• Contribute to architectural decisions. Bring options and alternatives, not objections. Know when the elegant solution is the wrong call for a startup moving fast.
• Contribute to and manage the context harness as you build and deliver.

Verify and Iterate

• Surface delivery risks early. Bring solutions, not just problems. Keep your stakeholders informed without turning every risk into a meeting.
• Verify the end-to-end result yourself. Confirm the system does what the requirements say, and that the requirements were right.
• Drive adoption of what you ship. Documentation, enablement, and usage monitoring are part of the job.
• Monitor your services in production. Own the signal. Debug and fix what breaks.
• Participate in support rotations. When users run into issues with what you shipped, you investigate and fix them.
• Iterate until you move the needle. Shipping is not the finish line. Outcome is.

Raise the Bar

• Mentor engineers around you. Give direct, useful feedback. Leave things better than you found them.
• Make deliberate calls on technical debt: when to accumulate it, when to pay it down, when to refactor. Translate trade-offs into language that business leaders can act on.
• Operate to the engineering standards for quality, reliability, and operational excellence.

YOU HAVE

• 10+ years building production web applications across the full stack. The years are the floor, not the bar. What matters is whether you have actually done this: owned a problem end-to-end, written the spec, built the thing, coordinated the work, and shipped it without someone else holding the thread.
• Demonstrated experience gathering requirements directly. You have interviewed users, customers, and partner teams, and turned ambiguous intent into specs that engineers and agents can build against.
• Demonstrated experience owning both functional and non-functional requirements. You have defined what a system must do and held the line on how well it must do it.
• A track record of owning a domain or initiative without close supervision. You have navigated ambiguity, made judgment calls, and been accountable for the outcome.
• Extreme ownership and a bias for action. You do not sit and wait. You chase stakeholders, customers, and answers when you need them.
• Experience coordinating across engineers and AI agents on a shared initiative. You have managed the work without holding a formal management title.
• Strong technical judgment and the depth to catch what AI-generated code gets wrong: not syntax, but correctness, architecture, intent.
• Proficiency with Python and Django. Working knowledge of TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL.
• Proficiency in developing with AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, similar) and the drive to stay ahead of how AI development practices are evolving.
• Domain curiosity. You learn the business context your work supports, not just the systems. You understand why the problem matters, not just how to solve it.
• The ability to communicate clearly across engineering, product, and business, translating technical complexity without losing meaning.
• Low ego and high Emotional Quotient (EQ). You influence without authority, take feedback well, and leave your ego out of technical decisions.
• Experience working with distributed, remote teams.

HOW THIS ROLE WORKS

Product Engineering exists to collapse the distance between a problem and a working solution. You own a problem or part of a vision. You shape it with stakeholders. You build it with AI. You verify it end-to-end. You iterate until the metric moves.

You work within the Context Architecture, a shared system of documentation, design patterns, and domain knowledge that gives you the technical context to make autonomous decisions at every step.

This is not a role for engineers who need to be told how. It is a role for engineers who can take a problem, fill in the gaps with good judgment, and ship something that works.

COUNTERPART'S VALUES

• Conjoin Expectations - it is the cornerstone of autonomy. Ensure you are aware of what is expected of you and clearly articulate what you expect of others.
• Speak Boldly & Honestly - the only failure is not learning from mistakes. Don't cheat yourself and your colleagues of the feedback needed when expectations aren't being met.
• Be Entrepreneurial - control your own destiny. Embrace action over perfection while navigating any obstacles that stand in the way of your ultimate goal. Leverage AI ruthlessly. We measure success by outcomes, not lines of code written. Use every available AI tool to ship faster and think more strategically.
• Practice Omotenashi ("selfless hospitality") - trust will follow. Consider every interaction with internal and external partners an opportunity to develop trust by going above and beyond what is expected.
• Hold Nothing As Sacred - create routines but modify them routinely. Take the time to reflect on where the business is today, where it needs to go, and what you have to change in order to get there.
• Prioritize Wellness - some things should never be sacrificed. We create an environment that stretches everyone to grow and improve, which is fulfilling, but is only one part of a meaningful life.
