What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Engineer position at Imbue?
About Us
Imbue is a radically different AI company.
We believe that data should belong to you, humans should come before technology, and that everyone deserves to have their own personal team of AI agents. We’re building tools for you to create open agents—AI agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want.
Our first product is Sculptor, an interface for programmers to run coding agents in parallel and stay in flow. We're working to make Sculptor better and easier to use every day, with the hope of eventually making products that allow anyone to create custom agents and software (not just programmers).
We’re supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation.
If you’re excited about reimagining the future of personal computing and creating the future of AI agents, say hi!
Summary
In this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape our product and help build 0-1 — not just the technologies that we use, but the overall direction of our product as it evolves. You will be responsible for building across our entire stack, understanding customer needs, and contributing to our product roadmap.
This role is a particularly good fit for anyone who either has previously been, or would like to be, a founder of a software product company. We are looking primarily for good product intuition and judgment — someone who understands what actually matters and then makes that happen.
Example Projects
All submissions are reviewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us. If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it! We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas.
