We work inperson out of our San Francisco office and were big believers in facetoface collaboration.
About the role
Were looking for a strong Sr. Product Engineer New Products to independently own the buildout of learning activities as part of Ellos nextgeneration AI tutoring apps.

You have experience with or a demonstrated curiosity for GenAI pipelines. On the backend youre able to write performant Python code and deal with complex I/O pipelines. On the frontend youre able to take an existing component library and build a rough UI from scratch (Flutter & React) without a designer or implement pixelperfect layouts in collaboration with a designer.
We welcome candidates from all backgrounds mobile engineering machine learning or design & product but we prioritize strong technical foundations and demonstrated speed in shipping.
