Product Engineer

Accountabilities:

• Own product features from initial idea through design, implementation, and release, taking initiative rather than relying on detailed specifications.
• Build polished, intuitive, and refined user interfaces using Next.js, representing approximately 60% of the role.
• Develop and maintain backend functionality using Django and PostgreSQL, representing approximately 40% of the role.
• Integrate third-party AI model APIs and help turn emerging AI capabilities into practical product experiences.
• Maintain and improve servers and platform reliability while handling significant volumes of user data.
• Maintain a consistently high standard of UX and UI quality, paying attention to details such as interactions, animations, visual polish, and overall usability.
• Learn and contribute to the product’s 3D workflows, including how models, formats, and pipelines work.
• Proactively identify opportunities for new features and improvements based on user needs and product potential.
• Use AI-powered coding tools as part of your daily workflow to increase productivity while maintaining engineering quality.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience building and shipping web products across frontend and backend.
• Strong hands-on experience with Next.js for frontend development and Django with PostgreSQL for backend development.
• Practical experience managing servers and working with Linux environments.
• Strong product sense, with an appreciation for clean UX/UI, usability, and the small details that create a polished product experience.
• Demonstrated ownership of products used by real customers, ideally gained in a startup, as a founder, or through meaningful personal or side projects.
• Ability to work independently, make product and technical decisions, and proactively drive initiatives from concept to completion.
• Strong AI literacy and a willingness to use AI tools to improve productivity, engineering quality, and day-to-day workflows.
• Curiosity about emerging technologies and the ability to identify practical opportunities to apply them.
• Experience with 3D models or the broader 3D ecosystem is a plus, including meshes, formats, Blender, or headless/pipeline workflows.
• Additional experience with product scaling, serverless GPU platforms such as Modal, Neon, Celery, or third-party AI model APIs is advantageous.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, with an interest in working within a supportive and highly autonomous environment.
• 3D experience is not required; strong product and engineering fundamentals are the priority, with opportunities to develop 3D expertise on the job.

Benefits:

• 100% remote work with the flexibility to work from wherever you are.
• High autonomy and a high-trust working environment where you can choose how to approach problems and solutions.
• Minimal bureaucracy, unnecessary meetings, and red tape, allowing the team to maintain momentum.
• Opportunity to work closely with the founder and have direct influence over product direction.
• Small, friendly, and collaborative team environment.
• Access to a broader entrepreneurial SaaS professional network for exchanging knowledge, ideas, and expertise.
• Opportunity to contribute to the growth of an AI-powered product with a large and expanding global user base.
• Location-adjusted compensation targeting local market medians for a remote-first environment; the salary range is shared in writing before the first interview.
• Commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity.
