Position Overview

We are seeking a rare hybrid profile: a senior, product-minded, AI-native engineer who can own a product area end-to-end, from a vague business objective through thoughtful product definition, technical design, implementation, testing, and iteration. This person should operate less like a ticket-based contractor and more like a founding engineer assigned to a product area.

The ideal candidate can understand user needs, define effective workflows, make sound SaaS architecture decisions, use AI tools to accelerate high-quality development, validate and test generated code, communicate clearly, and move work forward independently in ambiguous environments.

Responsibilities

* Own product areas from broad business goals through discovery, design, implementation, testing, and iteration. * Translate ambiguous objectives into clear user workflows, product requirements, technical plans, and implementation steps. * Question unclear requirements, identify missing pieces, surface risks and edge cases, and propose better product or technical approaches when appropriate. * Design and build polished, intuitive SaaS workflows, including dashboards, tables, filters, forms, detail views, configuration experiences, empty states, loading states, and error states. * Make thoughtful architecture decisions across data models, APIs, frontend architecture, backend architecture, permissions, integrations, state management, scalability, security, and maintainability. * Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, refactoring, debugging, test creation, documentation, and architectural exploration. * Critically review, validate, debug, and test AI-generated code to ensure production-quality implementation. * Communicate clearly and proactively about requireme
