About the role

We are hiring a Full-stack Product Engineer to help build and evolve the core product experiences of Wardens AI assurance platform. The role spans frontend product development and backend services turning complex analytical and audit workflows into clear reliable software that customers can trust.

You will join an existing engineering team and report to the CTO working closely with product data and customer-facing teams. A strong candidate will bring a solid background in TypeScript and React helping strengthen the teams full-stack product development capabilities particularly across TypeScript React and while contributing to backend systems in Python. Your work will have visible impact on product quality usability and reliability across the platform.

As one of our early product engineering hires you will help shape how this role grows over time and take on more responsibility across product development as we scale.

What youll do

Here are a few examples of things you might be working on:

• Build end-to-end product features e.g. design and implement new dashboards workflows and UI components that help customers understand and act on AI audit results.
• Lead on frontend experiences e.g. develop polished accessible interfaces working closely with product and design to get details right.
• Contribute to backend services e.g. extend services that power audits reports and internal tooling and wire them cleanly into the frontend.
• Translate product requirements into working software e.g. break down loosely defined problems propose pragmatic solutions and iterate quickly based on feedback.
• Improve product quality and reliability e.g. fix bugs reduce edge cases improve performance and strengthen type safety and test coverage.
• Collaborate cross-functionally e.g. work closely with data scientists solutions engineers and founders to ship features that solve real customer problems.
• Continuously improve the codebase e.g. refactor areas you touch improve developer ergonomics and contribute to shared patterns and conventions.

What you should bring

• A self-starting get-it-done attitude. Youre comfortable with ambiguity take ownership and move from idea to working software without needing constant direction.
• Strong TypeScript and React experience. Youve shipped real user-facing features and care about code quality usability and maintainability. Experience with is a plus.
• Full-stack mindset. Youre happy working across the stack and dont see frontend and backend as rigid silos.
• Experience shipping production software. Youve worked on systems that real users depend on and understand the importance of reliability performance and maintainable code.
• Pragmatic trade-off decision making. You know when good enough is the right choice to move fast and when to slow down to build something more robust.
• Product-oriented thinking. You care about usability clarity and customer impact not just getting something to work.
• Startup mindset.You thrive in fast-paced early-stage environments are excited to wear multiple hats navigate ambiguity and bring structure where needed.

This role isnt for you if

• Youre looking for a frontend or UI engineering role. This is a product engineering role that involves reasoning about systems data and trade-offs across the stack.
• You have limited frontend product experience. Attention to detail and a strong focus on usability and customer experience are core parts of this role not optional extras.
• Youre primarily interested in backend or infrastructure work. This role requires leading product experiences end-to-end from backend logic and data flows through to the customer-facing UI.
• You need very detailed specifications before starting work. Youll often help shape solutions rather than just implement them.
• You dont enjoy collaborating closely with non-engineers. Product data and customer context are core to the role.
• You prefer highly mature processes and tooling. Were still building many of these and youll be helping shape them as we grow.
• You want a narrow fixed remit. Priorities shift and we focus on the highest-impact work even when its not squarely within a defined role.
