Software Engineer, Product

Metaview • San Francisco, CA

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Metaview is an applied AI lab building AI coworkers for some of the world’s most ambitious recruiting teams. The challenge is not another chatbot. It is software that can pursue a hiring objective, act across real workflows, ask for judgment at the right moment, and earn a customer’s trust. Founded by Siadhal Magos and Shahriar Tajbakhsh, who scaled Uber and Palantir, we have raised more than $50M and are growing 5x year over year. AI coding agents are part of the job, not a perk. Engineers routinely run several in parallel for exploration, implementation, and review. We assess both sides of the craft: how well you direct agents and how well you reason, code, and debug on your own. One interview exercise is completed without AI. Our operating value is velocity. Velocity means reducing the time from customer evidence to a reliable product change. It does not mean trading away quality. We ship small changes daily, including Fridays, because the engineer who ships owns production behavior, recovery, and the next revision. Process stays light because customer context and ownership are direct. You will not wait for a complete specification or a handoff between disciplines. You will get close to the customer, choose a direction, build the consequential layers, and use production behavior to decide what happens next. AI agents help our small team ship roughly 8x more product changes than a year ago. The engineer remains accountable for architecture, review, implementation quality, and production behavior.

Requirements

• You are a software engineer first and want that craft pointed at a customer outcome.
• You have personally shipped software for external users and owned a meaningful outcome from problem definition through production.
• You have real depth in at least one technical area and can cross product, frontend, and backend boundaries when the outcome requires it.
• You use AI coding agents heavily and can still design, implement, review, and debug independently.
• You want direct customer contact, hands-on implementation, and responsibility after launch.
• You care deeply about architecture, correctness, and technical craft, but judge them by the product they enable.
• You want product judgment to be part of software engineering, not something delivered through a roadmap.
• Experience with React, TypeScript, Python, AWS, Postgres, and S3 is not required.

Nice To Haves

• Formal title may have been Software Engineer or Senior Software Engineer.
• Product ownership at Metaview raises the technical bar.
• This opening spans mid-level and staff+ scope under the same hands-on operating model.
• At mid-level, you will independently own a bounded customer outcome across product and implementation.
• At staff+, you will still write code while setting direction for a broader area, making hard architectural tradeoffs, and raising the quality of decisions around you.
• We level on demonstrated scope, not years served.
• This is a hands-on product IC role. It is not a people-management or model-research role.

Responsibilities

• Make architectural tradeoffs, build consequential parts, and operate what you ship.
• Talk directly to customers and decide what should exist, rather than receive those decisions through a roadmap.
• Build agents that can pursue recruiting objectives over days, know when to ask for judgment, and recover safely when a model or tool fails.
• Turn interview and hiring-team conversations into actions, with interfaces that let recruiters understand, correct, and trust the result.
• Make architectural tradeoffs across the interface, APIs, data model, permissions, and production behavior of the same workflow.
• Design controls and recovery paths for agents acting in customer systems.
• Turn repeated product patterns into simple primitives that support many recruiting workflows.
• Independently own and ship a bounded customer outcome from problem definition through rollout and iteration.
• Make product and technical decisions, contribute the consequential code, and own the production result.
• Write code while setting direction for a broader area, making hard architectural tradeoffs, and raising the quality of decisions around you.

Benefits

• Competitive option grants so we are all owners.
• Sponsor work visas and support the immigration process from start to finish.
• Cover 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents.
• Unlimited time off. Take the time you need.
