Product Engineer

About the Role

Join a small product engineering team building software for a startup accelerator's application pipeline, events, and internal operations. You will own work end to end, turning complex workflows into clear, useful products for both internal teams and founders.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and ship full-stack applications for admissions, events, and internal workflows.

• Develop event tools for registration, coordination, and media handling across a range of programs and gatherings.

• Integrate systems such as calendars, messaging, email, and data pipelines to coordinate teams and external participants.

• Build semantic search and AI features using embeddings, language models, and natural language interfaces.

• Automate admissions tasks such as scheduling, notifications, application routing, status tracking, and email triage.

• Work with operations teams to understand their needs, improve processes, and create dashboards for pipeline and operational metrics.

• Make pragmatic product and engineering decisions in a fast-moving environment, from problem discovery and UI design through deployment.

What We're Looking For

• One to twelve years of experience building and shipping full-stack products and real-world systems.

• Experience owning product decisions end to end, including problem definition, interface design, and deployment.

• Strong frontend and UI skills alongside backend engineering experience, with polished user-facing work.

• Experience building and shipping AI or LLM projects or features, including recent production work or substantial projects.

• Familiarity with Rails, React, PostgreSQL, Python, semantic search, embeddings, and integrations such as Slack and Google Calendar, or equivalent technologies.

• Startup or early-stage company experience, with the ability to work autonomously in ambiguous environments without detailed roadmaps.

• Strong computer science fundamentals, demonstrated through education or exceptional projects.

• Experience with internal tools, workflow systems, or admissions and CRM-style software is useful.
