Founding Product Engineer
Salary: $150,000 - $350,000 Highly Competitive Equity
Location: New York, NY (5 days onsite)
Job Title: Founding Product Engineer
About the role:
We're on the lookout for an exceptional Product Engineer to join one of New York's fastest-growing AI startups building autonomous AI agents that are transforming the finance industry.
This isn't a traditional software engineering role. As one of the early engineers, you'll own products end-to-end—from identifying customer problems and shaping product direction to designing, building and shipping features that directly impact users. You'll work at the intersection of engineering, product and AI, helping define how humans interact with intelligent software over the next decade.
You'll join a highly ambitious team building from 0→1, solving difficult technical challenges while creating AI-native experiences that go far beyond simple chat interfaces. If you're excited by ownership, speed, and building category-defining products, this is an opportunity to make an outsized impact.
Founding Product Engineer / React / TypeScript / Python / Postgres / AI
What we need from you:
- 3-10 years of experience building and shipping products from 0→1 in fast-moving startup environments.
- Design, build and launch full-stack features using React, TypeScript, Python and Postgres.
- Take ownership of products from idea through implementation, working directly with users to understand problems and iterate quickly.
- Collaborate closely with founders, Product and Design to shape the future of AI-native software experiences.
- Balance product thinking with strong engineering fundamentals, making thoughtful technical and product decisions.
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy solving complex, open-ended problems with a high degree of autonomy.
- Passion for AI, LLMs and building software that fundamentally changes how people work.
If you are an experienced Product Engineer who thrives in high-ownership environments and wants to help define the next generation of AI-powered software, please apply or send your CV directly to callum@acquiredtalent.co.uk.
