Product Engineering Management, Senior (Remote)

Our mission is to ensure software development teams can do their best work. Shortcut is the project management platform that teams actually want to use: fast, intuitive, and lightweight enough to stay out of the way while keeping everything moving.

We’re deliberately focused on what software teams actually need. Where other tools accumulate configuration sprawl, admin overhead, and features built to check enterprise boxes, we keep Shortcut simple, opinionated, and fast. We bring issue tracking, sprints, and roadmaps together in one place, built for the way modern engineering teams actually operate. With Korey, our agentic AI layer, we're going further, automatically surfacing context, structuring work across tools, and keeping teams in the loop on what matters, whether the work is done by people or agents.

We believe the future of software development is people and agents working together, and we’re building Shortcut and Korey to be the place where that work happens: one platform where humans and agents plan, track, and ship side-by-side.

We’re a remote-first company with a lean, experienced team. We care about the craft of what we build, and we think software that’s genuinely enjoyable to use is worth the effort it takes to get there.

We're a product development team where everyone ships. You should be excited to work as a full-stack Product Engineer,

not just a software developer. for every project we ship, with support from fellow engineers and the Product and Design teams.

You’ve designed scalable architectures for these systems: retrieval, agents and their lifecycles, models, tool calls, and state management across contexts.

We’re building the project management platform for software teams and their agents, and we work that way ourselves. Agentic tools are part of everyday engineering at Shortcut: we expect you to use them alongside your expertise and experience as an engineer to plan, build and ship.

The craft here is moving up the stack: less mechanical execution, more architecture, product thinking, and judgment about what to build.

Full-stack web application development using TypeScript/JavaScript on top of Zero

Architect and implement customer-facing, LLM-based application layers

Evaluate and iterate on models, prompts, and eval pipelines to balance quality, latency, and cost

TypeScript / JavaScript and Node

AWS

5+ years of professional experience building SaaS web applications, with hands-on experience incorporating agents and LLMs into production over the last 2+ years

Professional experience building with TypeScript/JavaScript, Node, Postgres (or similar RDBMS), and AWS (or similar cloud platform)

You use agentic coding tools daily, you know how to structure work so agents execute it well, and you rigorously verify what they produce

You dig into user problems, cut through ambiguity, and define clear outcomes before implementation begins

Speed, in both senses: you’d rather ship and adjust course than wait for the perfect plan, and you keep pace with rapidly changing tools.

You enjoy writing or speaking publicly about what you learn; we’ll give you the platform if that’s your thing

Equity, giving you real ownership in what we're building

Flexible, open vacation policy — take the time you need

Company holidays, plus paid safe & sick days and volunteer PTO days

Remote & Equipment

Fully remote — we ship you the equipment you need to do your best work

Generous home-office stipend to set up a workspace that works for you
