Job Description
Founding Product Engineer
Company: Confidential — AI-native commerce platform
Location: San Francisco, CA (on-site)
Compensation: $150,000 - $350,000 + 0.2% - 0.6% equity
Employment Type: Full-time
Visa Sponsorship: Not available (US citizens and green card holders)
The client is an AI-native commerce platform that bundles every merchant tool natively, with an AI agent as the primary interface. It is building a direct alternative to Shopify and the legacy commerce stack, with a real product, 30,000 users and a substantial codebase already in place.
Founded in 2025, the client has raised a $7M seed and has a team of about 10 in San Francisco.
The RoleThis seat is for a product engineer who is tired of waiting on specs and wants the whole loop. You will own product surfaces end to end, design sensibility included: take a rough problem, decide what to build, build it, ship it, and talk to the merchants who use it, then do it again the next week.
What You Will Do- Own features from problem to production across frontend and backend.
- Work directly with customers: join calls, watch session replays and feel their pain firsthand.
- Make product calls, not just implementation calls.
- Hold a high bar on craft so the UI feels considered.
- Keep the codebase something the next five engineers want to work in.
- Strong full-stack product engineering in TypeScript, React and Node.js
- Design sensibility and product judgment
- Comfort working directly with customers
- Ability to work on-site in San Francisco
- US work authorization without sponsorship
TypeScript, React, Node.js
