We are seeking a Senior Product Engineer (L7/L8) to evolve and scale our AI platform to accelerate research and empower scientists and investors to do their best work. This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role for someone who deeply understands business needs, has strong product and design instincts, and can move seamlessly from concept to shipped code.
You will enhance our existing AI research platform by adding new components, expanding capabilities, and architecting systems that make research workflows faster, smarter, and more intuitive. We expect you to lead in use of agentic development tooling and design systems that enable our scientists and investors to best utilize those same agentic capabilities. This role requires an AI-first mindset, technical excellence, product thinking, and natural leadership.

• Enhance and extend the current AI platform to better support research and scientific workflows
• Translate business and scientific needs into technical architecture and product solutions
• Lead end-to-end capability development: concept, design, implementation, iteration, and deployment
• Architect scalable AI-native systems with a focus on integration with agentic development tooling
• Partner closely with scientists, investors, product leaders, and engineering teams
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and direction across teams
• Move quickly — prototype, validate, iterate — without sacrificing quality

Who You Are

• Deep understanding of modern AI systems (LLMs, agents, tool use, harnesses, orchestration, etc.)
• At the edge of agentic development practices and supporting tooling
• Understands how to design products around AI capabilities rather than bolting AI on

• Able to design and implement enterprise-grade systems
• Bias towards simplicity and quality
• Comfortable with experimentation and rapid iteration

• Understands business needs and can translate them into technical solutions
• Strong design sense — cares about usability, workflows, and user experience
• Thinks in terms of leverage, impact, and adoption

• Thrives in dynamic, high-velocity environments
• Bias toward action and shipping
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and shaping direction

• Sets technical direction, not just execution
• Raises the bar for engineering quality and product thinking
• Operates with ownership mindset and long-term thinking

Required Qualifications

• 7–12+ years of experience in engineering, AI systems, or product engineering roles
• Proven experience building AI-driven platforms or products
• Strong understanding of machine learning systems
• Experience working closely with domain experts (scientists, researchers, analysts)
• Track record of delivering comprehensive systems end-to-end

Physical Requirements

• The anticipated onsite requirement for this role is 4 days per week at our New York City office location.

Compensation Band

• The wage range for this role is $1M - $1.5M (with Upside) inclusive of base salary, discretionary target bonus and Long Term Incentive. The expected base salary for this role is between 40-60% of this wage range.
