The posting

Staff Product Engineer

Company: Confidential — venture-backed technology company

Location: New York, NY (Flatiron office, in person 5 days per week)

Compensation: $280,000 - $380,000 + significant early-stage equity

Employment Type: Full-time

Visa Sponsorship: Visa transfers only (no new visas)

About the Company

The client started by making CI workloads run much faster: its first product runs GitHub Actions substantially faster and cheaper on its own global fleet of bare-metal machines instead of rented cloud VMs. It now orchestrates tens of millions of Firecracker VMs a month for 3,000+ companies, schedules 100k+ vCPUs concurrently, and runs a petabyte-scale Ceph cluster it manages itself.

The client reached about $10M ARR in under two years, has grown revenue more than 5x since the start of 2026, and has raised $58.5M through its Series B.

The Role

The client is hiring a Staff Product Engineer to set the technical direction for new products: AI-native developer tooling that does not yet exist anywhere in the industry. The role operates at the organization level, owning architecture, solving complex product problems and driving 0-to-1 initiatives. You will be a key technical authority and force multiplier: raising engineering standards, mentoring senior engineers and owning production outcomes as a hands-on technical leader.

What You Will Do

  • Own and drive the architecture of new products, designing and building the next generation of AI-native developer tooling.
  • Translate business and product strategy into long-term technical roadmaps and execution plans.
  • Drive new products from 0 to 1.
  • Own production outcomes, including reliability, performance and operational excellence.
  • Mentor senior engineers and act as a force multiplier.
  • Operate in ambiguous spaces where both the problem and the solution need defining.

What You Bring

  • 7+ years as a full-stack engineer owning 0-to-1 product builds end to end
  • Designed, built and shipped exceptional products in high-growth environments with recognized engineering teams
  • Strong technical fundamentals across the stack, particularly TypeScript and React
  • Set and led the technical direction of a product from an early stage to one known for exceptional customer experience
  • Power user of coding agents and agentic tooling, with compelling examples
  • Track record of leading through influence as an individual contributor
  • Clear thinking and communication across engineers, leadership and non-technical stakeholders
  • Ability to work in person in New York 5 days a week

Nice to Have

  • Experience at a developer tools or infrastructure startup building for engineers

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
