OfficeNew York, New York, United StatesMI

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take full ownership of a product area from planning through release, working across frontend and backend code on conversational automation features. Shape what gets built by working directly with users alongside a small, co-located team.

What you'll do

- Own a core product domain from roadmap through production delivery.

- Decide what to build by speaking with users, distilling their feedback and releasing features without a dedicated product manager.

- Build and tune conversational automation across voice, text and email channels, with attention to low latency and persistent conversation context.

- Set the architecture and quality standards for non-deterministic systems, including evaluation, versioning, safeguards and monitoring for drift.

- Work across web frontends, backend services and Python-based real-time services, releasing to production frequently.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 3 to 8 years of engineering experience, including launching a brand-new product from scratch in an early-stage company, as a founder, or inside an innovation group at a large technology firm.

- Ability to make sound product calls independently and comfort talking with users.

- Depth in at least one area: production conversational agents, long-running agent state or memory, multi-sided or marketplace products, or agent evaluation and safeguards.

- Proficiency in TypeScript, including Node.js and React.

- Hands-on experience building real products with large language model APIs or agent SDKs, beyond tutorials or thin wrappers.

- Python experience for real-time audio pipelines or evaluation tooling.

- Strong product sense and comfort with ambiguity.

Bonus points

- Prior experience founding a company that gained real traction.

- Computer science degree from a strong program, especially for candidates with 3 to 4 years of experience.
