The Opportunity

• Own product quality for shipped features.

• 0 to 3 years in product, technical program management, software engineering or a related technical role (internships count).
• CS, engineering or equivalent technical degree from a top program; can read a codebase and reason about architecture.
• Has written structured technical documents (specs, design docs, research papers).
• Has built something under real constraints: startup internship, research lab or side project with users.
• Fluent with AI tools such as Claude Code or Cursor.

Nice to Have

----------------

• AI-native projects: LLM integrations, structured extraction, agentic workflows or evaluation harnesses.
• Production code or a technical project shipped end to end; experience at a startup under 50 people.
