AI Product Engineer

Abnormal AI · Vertical AI · United States · Remote · R&D AI Transformation

AI Product Engineer responsible for building and extending agent platform capabilities, shipping GTM tooling, and owning reliability and observability for AI agent systems in an enterprise context. The role involves working at the intersection of platform engineering and direct product delivery, enabling non-technical users to set up LLM workflows and collaborating with AI Product Managers.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build and extend agent platform capabilities — new tools, APIs, data connectors, and integrations that expand what AI agents can do without manual intervention
  2. Ship self-serviceable GTM tooling that enables non-technical users to set up their own AI-initiated LLM workflows.
  3. Partner with AI Product Managers on platform requirements — translate their roadmap blockers into well-scoped engineering deliverables with reliable timelines
  4. Identify and build reusable infrastructure — proactively design horizontal capabilities that accelerate multiple product workstreams at once
  5. Own reliability and observability for the systems you build — you're not handing off to an ops team

Skills

Required

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience
  • Demonstrated experience building with LLMs, agents, or AI APIs in a real product context
  • Proficiency in Python
  • Experience integrating external APIs
  • Experience building data pipelines
  • Strong written communication
  • Ability to work with high autonomy, minimal oversight, and surface blockers proactively

Nice to have

  • Frontend or full-stack experience (React/Next.js)
  • Familiarity with agentic frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, Autogen)
  • production-scale prompt engineering
  • Prior experience in a startup or high-velocity small team
  • Open source contributions or a public portfolio of AI projects

What the JD emphasized

  • shipping real products on a weekly cadence
  • built LLMs and agents in production — not as a side experiment, but as the core of what you were delivering
  • Demonstrated experience building with LLMs, agents, or AI APIs in a real product context — show us something that shipped
  • Ability to work with high autonomy, minimal oversight, and surface blockers proactively
