Full-Stack Product Engineer (AI-Native)
Job Title: Full-Stack Product Engineer (AI-Native)
Location: Hybrid (must be able to come to office in Encino, CA 2-3 days per week)
Type: Full-time (40-hour workweek)
We’re hiring a product-minded full-stack engineer who can take a feature from a design/idea all the way to a shipped, monitored, iterated product. You’ll work across frontend + backend, make pragmatic product and technical tradeoffs, and use modern AI coding assistants (Claude Code/GitHub Copilot CLI/similar) to move faster — while staying fully accountable for correctness, security, and maintainability.
This is not a “just implement tickets” role. You’ll own outcomes.
What you’ll do:
Own features end-to-end
- Clarify the problem, ask the right questions, and define success metrics
- Propose solution options with tradeoffs (scope/speed/quality)
- Implement, ship, monitor, and iterate based on real usage
Partner tightly with Design/Product
- Turn designs into polished UI/UX; handle edge cases, loading/error states, and responsive behavior
- Translate ambiguous requirements into a clear plan and incremental milestones
Full-stack execution
- Build and maintain frontend + backend components: UI, APIs, data models, workflows, integrations
- Design clean, versionable API contracts (pagination, errors, auth, backwards compatibility)
Work effectively in an event-driven/CQRS architecture
- Respect boundaries, choose appropriate patterns, and keep systems evolvable
- Handle idempotency, retries, and failure modes cleanly
AI-assisted engineering (must be real, not buzzwords)
- Use Claude Code / Copilot CLI / similar tools to speed up implementation, debugging, and codebase navigation
- Stay in control: plan first, review diffs carefully, write tests, and verify behavior locally
Local-first engineering
- Run the stack locally end-to-end
- Seed data, reproduce issues deterministically, and debug effectively
- Improve developer experience (scripts, docs, environment reliability)
Quality bar ownership
- Write the right tests (unit/integration/e2e as appropriate)
- Add logging/telemetry that makes production understandable
- Prevent regressions and keep performance/reliability strong
Code review excellence
- Review PRs for correctness, security, performance, readability, and long-term maintainability
- Give clear feedback and raise the bar without slowing the team down
Pragmatic security mindset
- Apply best practices for secrets handling, authn/authz, input validation, dependency hygiene, rate limiting, and secure defaults
What we’re looking for (must-haves):
- Proven end-to-end feature ownership in a real product (ship → monitor → iterate)
- Strong product intuition: understands workflows, edge cases, success metrics, and tradeoffs; can make sensible product decisions when requirements are ambiguous
- Full-stack capability: comfortable building both UI and backend services; experience designing APIs and evolving data models safely
- Solid system design fundamentals: can reason about boundaries, modularity, maintainability, and operational impact
- Real experience with AI coding assistants in daily development: hands-on with Claude Code or GitHub Copilot CLI or equivalent (Cursor, Codex, etc.); can explain your workflow (when you trust AI output, how you verify, and how you avoid regressions/security issues)
- Ability to run and debug complex systems locally (not “works on my machine”)
- Strong communication: breaks work into slices, documents decisions briefly, surfaces risk early, and keeps stakeholders updated
Nice-to-haves:
- Angular experience (or deep experience in another modern frontend framework + willingness to ramp fast)
- .NET / C# experience (or strong backend experience + willingness to ramp fast)
- Hands-on experience with event-driven systems / CQRS patterns
- Experience working closely with QA in a structured handoff and feedback loop
- Familiarity with observability tooling (structured logs, metrics, tracing)
- Comfort experimenting quickly (“vibe coding”) paired with discipline (tests, reviews, safe rollouts)
Compensation and Benefits:
- $160K - $220K base salary
- Bonus: Up to 10% of base (determined annually in December)
- Healthcare: Medical, Dental, and Vision plan options
- Retirement: 401(k) with up to 4% company match
Perks:
- High-impact role in a rapidly scaling AI company
- Collaborative, product-focused team environment
- Unlimited snacks, coffee, and more (if based in Los Angeles, CA)
- Weekly team happy hours (if based in Los Angeles, CA)
- Business trips and team-building events
