What you will do
- Build and maintain end-to-end features using a Rails 7.2 monolith, Tailwind CSS, Stimulus.js, and AWS, integrating with OpenAI, Twilio, and Stripe.
- Identify core business problems through data and customer feedback, then design and execute technical solutions that move the needle on company ARR.
- Leverage AI-powered development tools to accelerate shipping speed while maintaining high standards for code quality, polish, and business logic accountability.
Who this is a fit for
- 7+ years of experience as a product engineer, with a proven track record of shipping high-quality consumer or B2B products from concept to production.
- Deep expertise in Ruby on Rails and server-rendered architecture (Stimulus/Tailwind), with an ability to stay accountable for complex business logic.
- Enthusiastic adoption of AI coding workflows (Cursor, Claude Code) and a strong sense of product “taste” when building tools for real-world enterprise users.
Why this role is remarkable
- Absolute product ownership: You decide what to build, design it, and measure its impact on revenue without being slowed down by traditional sprint planning or ticket-passing.
- High-leverage environment: Use agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor to ship in days what used to take weeks, focusing your effort on business logic and judgment.
- Mission-critical impact: You are building the infrastructure that solves the primary bottleneck for America’s most vital data center, energy, and infrastructure projects.
