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 start-up speed. You will also have contact with mentors from leading AI companies (DeepMind, Anthropic, OpenAI) and Tech veterans (unicorn co-founders and CTOs), all while being exposed to frontier research (e.g., early-access partnerships).
You’ll Thrive 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.
