🚀 About the role

We’re looking for an exceptional early-career Product Engineer — someone who combines strong coding foundations with deep curiosity, high ambition, and the drive to grow fast in a high-performance environment.

You’ll work directly with the founding team to build and ship real products that integrate LLMs into production systems — building software that helps make democracy more efficient. This isn’t a typical “junior” role. You’ll take ownership early, work on technically challenging problems, and learn at startup speed. You will also have contact with mentors from leading AI companies (DeepMind, Anthropic, OpenAI) and Tech veterans (Unicorn Co CTOs) all while being exposed to frontier research (e.g. early-access partnerships).

💡 You’ll be a great fit if

• You’re a high-agency, full-stack problem solver. You can get to the core of any problem fast — flexing seamlessly from backend to frontend, from architecture discussions to product polish. You don’t need a playbook; you find a way to make things work, fast and well. You believe that a high velocity is the core to success.
• You’re an ambitious overachiever. You have a track record of excellence — whether through top-tier academic results, open-source impact, hackathon wins, or building impressive side projects. You hold yourself to a very high standard and thrive in elite, high-expectation environments.
• You’re a low-ego team player. You communicate clearly, take feedback well, and raise the bar for those around you. We believe a small team of A-players is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.
• You’re deeply curious about AI systems and product engineering. You’re excited by the challenge of building real products with LLMs, and you learn and adapt quickly.

🧩 What you’ll do

• Build and ship features end-to-end using our stack:
  • Frontend: Vite, TypeScript, React, Tailwind
  • Backend: Python (FastAPI, SQLAlchemy)
  • Infra: AWS
• Collaborate closely with founders and users to translate real-world problems into elegant, reliable systems.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and gradually take ownership of well-scoped components.
• Iterate fast — improve functionality, refactor for performance, and maintain quality in a fast-moving environment.
• Leverage AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and others to supercharge your development workflow.

🧱 This role isn’t for you if

• You want a predictable 9-to-5. We’re building ambitiously and fast. The work is intense and deeply rewarding — but not for those seeking comfort or routine.
• You need a highly structured environment. This is 0-to-1. You’ll be creating the structure, not following one.
