AI Pod: Fullstack Product Engineer

✨ TLDR ✨ Join Knoetic ($50MM+ raised from Tier 1 VCs like Accel + Menlo + 100s of angels) as we launch an incredible series of new AI products. 1. You’ll join a newly-formed, high-intensity AI product pod. You’re not joining a well-oiled machine; rather, you’re going to help us build the machine in this small, elite AI pod. 2. You'll own features end-to-end as an IC, ship at incredible velocity, and have direct impact on a product used by 1000s of C-level executives from Box, Brex, Notion, OpenAI, Figma, and more. 3. You must be an AI-native engineer who’s customer-centric. That means (1) you’re easily a top 10% user of tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and more, and (2) you love creating delightful moments for our customers, whatever it takes. ❤️ KNOETIC AI + OUR CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER NETWORK ❤️ Our mission is to build the “Second Brain” for every Chief People Officer & their HR team. We're backed by $50MM from Accel, EQT, Menlo, and 100s of legendary angels (Adam Grant, Shreyas Doshi, etc). We're a beautiful blend of consumer + enterprise product that serves 1000s of C-level execs from companies like Box, Figma, dbt labs, Lyft, Notion, and OpenAI. You can learn more about our “right brain” (CPOHQ) https://www.cpohq.com/ and ”left brain” (AI & People Analytics) https://www.knoetic.com/people-analytics here. ✨ OVERVIEW ✨ We're looking for a Fullstack Product Engineer who wants to: - Own features end-to-end, from deeply understanding the customer problem to shipping the feature and driving its usage & adoption. - Work across the entire stack (React, TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL). - Ship fast & high quality; you believe speed vs. quality is a false choice https://www.rippling.com/blog/what-it-takes-to-build-an-11b-startup-an-interview-with-parker-conrad-ceo-of-rippling, and in fact you can increase both in lockstep. - Work directly with customers: from hopping on calls, to debugging their problems, and then iterating based on real feedback - Craft positive-sum engineering practices that increase velocity. - Become one of the first 3 engineers in our AI & Analytics pod This is only an in-person role (4-5 days/week) in NYC. We have a beautiful office in a 1,000+ ft skyscraper in the heart of Hudson Yards, New York. ✨ ABOUT YOU & THE ROLE ✨ - You have over-the-top ownership mindset. When something is your responsibility, it's truly yours. You understand it deeply, you're accountable for it in production, and you don't wait to be told what to do next. When something breaks, you're already investigating far before anyone asks. - You enjoy working with customers. Beyond just writing code, you’re deeply energized by understanding who you're building for. You love customer calls, and seeing how people actually buy & use what you build. - You are an AI-native engineer who’s far more productive because of AI. You live in Cursor, Claude Code, or similar tools. You can trade notes with us on prompting strategies, context management, and when to trust vs. verify AI output. You're 2-3x more productive because of how you use AI, and you have concrete proof points to back it up. - You’re driven to make things better, not just point at what's broken. You notice problems, but in a productive, positive way that includes "here's how I'd fix it." You'd rather propose an imperfect solution than complain or wait for someone else. - You can disagree and then commit… happily. You push back when you see a better way. But once the decision is made, you execute like it was your idea. No sulking, no relitigating, no behind-the-back undermining. You’re a team player in the end & you embrace the decision as if it were your own (because one day, you’ll be on the other side of the table too!) - You believe quality enables speed. You've seen what happens when teams skip tests and cut corners. The slowdown comes later, and it's worse. You write tests not because someone told you to, but because you want to deploy with confidence, and believe in quality & cr
