About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own product engineering problems that call for both speed and correctness, carrying front-end and feature work from a rough first draft to production quality. Extend software that includes AI-driven behaviors and work directly with senior leadership in a flat engineering organization.
What you'll do
- Take on product engineering problems that demand accuracy and a fast pace, and see them through to a polished finish.
- Finish and harden front-end work that begins as AI-assisted drafts.
- Build new AI-driven behaviors and widen the set of tools that an automated assistant feature can use.
- Connect language models to user-facing product workflows.
- Ship reliably and quickly with a high degree of ownership.
- Work closely with design, front-end and engineering leadership colleagues.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- 1 to 4 years of experience shipping product engineering work, ideally at a startup.
- Strong front-end skills with real product engineering depth.
- Fluency with AI coding tools as a way to work faster, combined with careful review of every line of code.
- Comfort building with agent-style systems that rely on language models.
- Proven pace and high agency, with a track record of moving through hard problems without long lead times.
- Clear, genuine preference for startup work over large-company environments.
- Evidence of self-started projects such as side businesses, personal apps or hackathon builds.
- Low ego, collaborative working style and a sense of ownership when discussing past achievements.
- Ability to work on-site five days a week.
Bonus points
- Prior delivery of features powered by language models, from design through release.
- A front-end background paired with strong product instincts, noticing when the user experience is off rather than building strictly to spec.
- Experience at a high-growth startup through a rapid scaling phase.
- Public side projects or a visible GitHub footprint.
- Exposure to the travel industry.
