Product Engineer - AI-Powered Developer Tools

Job Title:

Location

Work Arrangement

Role Snapshot

Join our core engineering squad building air-gapped, AI-powered developer tooling that enterprises can run entirely behind their firewalls. Youll turn ideas and prototypes into polished features, work shoulder-to-shoulder with architects, and ship code that delights developers the product mainly build to work within customer firewalls, customised LLM models and on-prem systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Feature Ownership (End-to-End)

  design, code, test, and merge user-facing features in our AI-driven IDE extensions and backend services.

• Self-Hosted AI Wiring

  integrate local LLMs, embeddings, and static-analysis models (e.g., Llama-3, Mistral) for completion, refactor, search, and chatno external endpoints.

• CI/CD & DevOps Contribution

  keep pipelines green, Dockerise new services, update Helm/Ansible scripts, and ensure on-prem deploys are one-click.

• Quality First

  – write unit, integration, and Playwright/Cypress tests; monitor performance budgets and chase latency until it feels instant.

• Collaborative Engineering

  – pair-program, review PRs, and share knowledge to unblock teammates; work closely with an 8-10-person dev pod and the Product Architect. Must-Have

Experience:

• 2–5 years building production-grade software (SaaS tools, IDE plugins, or backend services).
• Solid in Java, API, microservices, TypeScript/JavaScript plus Python or Go (Rust/C++ welcome).
• Comfortable with Git workflows, Docker, and at least one on-prem K8s/OpenShift environment.
• Exposure to LLM frameworks (e.g., Ollama, HF Transformers) or traditional ML pipelines.
• Familiar with IaC (Helm/Ansible/Terraform) and basic Linux ops.

You'll be a good fit if you:

• Were a cracked builder before the Al wave.
• Have Al fully embedded in your workflow but didn't need it to be great.
• Know how to use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Google CLI, Windsurf, Replit, and Lovable — and push them to the limit.
• Can build entirely functional prototypes within 1-2 hours using AI tools.
• Have built products people use (and love).
• Care more about who you work with than what you work on.
• Ship fast, iterate faster, and value momentum over perfection.
• See coding as craft — performance, polish, and UX matter to you.
• Are allergic to bureaucracy and energized by ownership.
