About this job
THE ROLE
You'll build the product experiences through which people work with Valkai's agents. You will turn complex AI capabilities into clear, dependable workflows across web and document-based surfaces. This is a full-stack product engineering role with a high bar for interaction design, technical quality, and ownership.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Build assistant experiences across web and document-based workflows.
Design product patterns for scheduled work, durable agent runs, approvals, progress, and recovery.
Build reusable workflow and prompt libraries that help users get consistent results.
Create clear controls, feedback loops, and explanations for complex agent behavior.
Connect product telemetry and evaluations so the team can measure and improve quality.
Work across the frontend and backend stack to ship complete, reliable features.
Partner closely with product, AI Strategy, and AI engineers from problem discovery through launch and iteration.
REQUIREMENTS
Product-minded engineers: You start with the user's problem and care about whether the experience is clear, useful, and trustworthy.
Strong craft: You have a high bar for interaction details, performance, accessibility, and the quality of the code behind the experience.
Full-stack ownership: You can move between frontend, backend, data, and AI systems to ship a complete product.
Pragmatic judgment: You simplify complex capabilities without hiding important controls or failure modes.
High agency: You can turn an unclear workflow into a concrete product direction and move it forward.
Close collaborators: You work well with product, design, AI Strategy, and AI engineers and communicate tradeoffs clearly.
NICE TO HAVE
You have shipped user-facing products from early concept through production.
You have built complex interactive applications with React and TypeScript.
You have experience designing interfaces for agents, AI systems, or other probabilistic software.
You have worked closely with enterprise users on workflow-heavy products.
You have worked in a high-growth early-stage company.
You are familiar with parts of our stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Python, Postgres, Azure, AWS.
BENEFITS
Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents.
Generous PTO policy.
Paid parental leave.
At Valkai, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
