About The Position

If you've been doing product work whether your job description said so or not - pushing back on specs that don't make sense, proposing better solutions in standups, shipping things you decided needed to exist - this role names what you've been doing. We're hiring engineers who own outcomes, not tickets. AI-assisted development has changed the leverage one good engineer can bring, and we're staffing for that reality. This is an individual contributor role on a small product team. You'll work directly with peers in engineering, with product partners on the same team, and report to the CTO.

Requirements

• You've shipped production software using Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable agentic tools. Not "experimented with" - shipped.
• You're comfortable in unfamiliar codebases.
• 3+ years working as an engineer in production environments
• Strong opinions about what "good" looks like - both product decisions and craft
• You'd rather ship one thing that matters than push three tickets across a board
• Comfortable presenting ideas in front of customers, executives, and peers

Nice To Haves

• Our stack is .NET 8 / Angular / SQL Server, but you don't need to know it - you need to trust your tooling to take you into any stack

Responsibilities

• Ship complex, high-value features end-to-end across our products.
• Drive the technical decisions for the systems you own - architecture, data model, performance.
• Work directly in our codebase using agentic tooling as your primary development interface.
• Engineers will review your code; you'll review theirs.
• Push back when something shouldn't ship.
• Propose better solutions when the scoped one is wrong.
• Stay close to customers - the best product engineers we've seen are the ones who actually talk to users.

Benefits

• Top-of-market AI tooling: Claude Max, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and whatever ships next - your call, our budget
• Unlimited token budgets.
• Direct line to the latest models the day they release
• A mature, multi-tenant production codebase - real users, real stakes, real environments to ship in to
• Health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave
