• Build across the full stack, with particular care for clear and intuitive user experiences.
• Collaborate with leadership and users to surface problems, question assumptions and prioritize the roadmap using real usage and feedback.
• Design system architecture, data models and interfaces, and decide where standard application logic or AI-driven approaches fit best.
• Shape interface and interaction design, adapting proven patterns from well-regarded products.
• Write concise product requirement documents, prototype to validate technical feasibility, and follow through on rollout, bug fixes, usability and performance.
• Try out AI tools in day-to-day engineering and operations, and turn the effective ones into shared team habits.

What we're looking for

• Background as a full-stack engineer at an early-stage company, or as a founder.
• Track record as a design-minded engineer, or time spent at companies with a strong design reputation.
• Current, hands-on full-stack development skills, including JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Well-developed taste in interface and user experience design, demonstrated through a portfolio, personal site or shipped work.
• Ease engaging with users to understand their needs and shape the flows they use.
• Ability to be in the office in New York, NY, 4 to 5 days per week.

Bonus points

• Familiarity with business-to-business AI products or a specialized domain such as finance, insurance, legal or compliance.
