Responsibilities
You will not be writing tickets for minor features. You will be architecting the strategic engines of the company
You will lead the launch of our next-generation commerce infrastructure
You will design the protocols and interfaces that allow external intelligences (OpenAI, Anthropic) to query our proprietary knowledge graph for verified shopping data, positioning us as the standard commerce protocol for the AI era
You will reinvent our browser extension strategy
You will architect a 'High-Fidelity Data Sensor'—a companion that acts as an active intelligence layer, harvesting real-time cart telemetry and delivering verified price and quality data directly into the user's flow
You will pioneer a 'Greenfield' strategy for mobile identity
You will build the strategy for geo-fenced, wallet-native commerce assets that bridge the digital and physical worlds, creating a new engagement vector that no competitor has touched
You will integrate two distinct product lines into a single 'Unified Platform.' You must align the Utility Engine (SimplyCodes) with the Reasoning Engine (Product.ai), ensuring that data flows losslessly between the Transaction Layer that executes the purchase and the Intelligence Layer that judges the product
Qualification
Required
You are a First-Principles Architect. You do not rely on playbooks or 'best practices' from the previous cycle. You deconstruct problems to their core constraints—technical, economic, and psychological—and build novel solutions from the ground up
You are a System Builder. You do not just ship features; you build engines. You understand that a product is a complex adaptive system. You optimize for second-order effects, feedback loops, and unit economics
You are AI-Native. You do not just 'use' AI; you understand the underlying mechanics of LLMs, RAG, and Agentic workflows. You know the difference between a probabilistic guess and a deterministic axiom, and you know how to build products that leverage both
You are a Deep Generalist. You are as comfortable discussing API schema design with engineers as you are debating GTM strategy with marketers. You refuse to stay in a silo
You are a Player-Coach. You reject the 'Clipboard Manager' archetype. You lead by doing. You are capable of writing the spec, designing the wireframe, and defining the logic when the team needs a breakthrough
Benefits
100% premium coverage for you and your family
Daily catered lunches
Unlimited PTO that we actually expect you to use to recharge
