Product Engineer

What you’ll do

• You'll build the core of what makes item work and define how companies will run in an agent-first world.

• Day to day, that looks like:

• Inventing new patterns for how humans and agents work together

• Architecting systems for AI to run real business processes at scale

• Experimenting fast with new models, tools, and approaches as the space evolves

• Talking directly to customers, to translate their problems into features

• The problems are genuinely unsolved: how should agents operate in the workplace? How do you make them reliable, trustworthy, useful? How do they interface with humans in a way that feels natural? What does agent to agent collaboration look like across businesses? We're running 100k+ agentic tasks per month and figuring this out every day.

• Who this role is for

• This role is for engineers who want to set the engineering foundation, not just inherit one.

• You're independent . You don't wait around for specs or permission. You see what needs to happen and you make it happen.

• You care about craft . The details matter to you across the whole stack, from data models to how a button feels when you click it. You ship work you're actually proud of and have a track record of doing so.

• You have a high bar . You hold yourself to a standard higher than what's asked. You're comfortable making calls with incomplete information, and you'd rather ask forgiveness than wait for buy-in.

• You're AI-forward . Not just curious - already building with it. You're a power user of Cursor or Claude Code, constantly exploring new tools, and you're genuinely excited about how AI changes the way you work.

• Technically, you've been deep in Next.js / TypeScript for years. If you’ve built agents or multi-agent systems before, you’d be a great fit.

• Founding experience, at any level, is a strong plus.

• Why this role

• This role gives you the rare chance to ship AI agents into production that are used by top startups to actually run their business.

• We're building the system that businesses run on: a platform that defines how humans and agents collaborate . You'll be one of the first engineers shaping it.

• This is a front-row seat to a high-growth startup at the bleeding edge of AI. You'll explore new models, tools, and approaches as they emerge - and actually ship them to production, not just prototypes.

• You'll shape the engineering culture, the technical decisions, and the standards that define item for years to come. The kind of experience that sets you up to become a technical leader or start something of your own.

• Design is in our DNA. Our co-founder Andres is a second-time founder with a design background. Craft is a core advantage here, not a nice-to-have. You'll learn from people who've built companies before, not just worked at them.

• We have real traction, funding from top VCs, and a team that moves fast without burning out.

• Low ego, high trust.

• Tech Stack

• Next.js / TypeScript

• PostgreSQL

• Vercel AI SDK

• AI-native tooling: we build with Cursor and Claude Code daily
