Responsibilities

  • Own a customer-facing product area end to end, from understanding user needs and deciding what to build through shipping, measurement, and iteration.
  • Build frontend and backend systems and determine how products run on GPUs at scale.
  • Design systems for AI-character memory, including writing, ranking, and retrieval across billions of messages within context limits.
  • Own feed retrieval, ranking, cold-start strategy, experimentation, and engagement and retention measurement.
  • Evaluate and deploy newly released models while balancing quality, serving cost, and performance.
  • Build real-time chat, voice, image, and video experiences while managing quality, latency, cost, reliability, and scale.
  • Remain accountable for the reliability, cost, and operational performance of shipped products, including on-call responsibilities.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated ability to build an impressive technically complex product at meaningful scale or solve a difficult technical problem deeply.
  • Strong product judgment, including talking to users, identifying valuable problems, and using evidence to guide product decisions.

  • Rigorous and pragmatic approach to experimentation, impact, cost, and implementation choices.
  • Clear, concise, data-informed communication and constructive collaboration.

  • High standards, ambition, and willingness to take responsibility for important product areas.
  • Experience may align with Staff, Principal, or Distinguished Engineer, technical leadership, former engineering leadership, or founder backgrounds; the company emphasizes demonstrated work over years of experience or a fixed technology checklist.

Benefits

  • Compensation reviews every six months, with raises and bonuses tied to delivered impact.
  • Opportunity for continued scope, influence, and compensation growth without moving into management.
