About the company
Our client is a fast-growing technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take full ownership of a set of product features, from discovery with internal and external users through prototyping, release and iteration. Build user-facing applications and the intelligent capabilities behind them, and stay accountable for how your work performs in production.
What you'll do
- Build internal tools that let staff serve many more customers without a drop in service quality.
- Develop customer-facing portals where clients view their information and engage on their own terms.
- Design and ship AI-driven features, including the tools agents use and how they are embedded in the product.
- Work directly with internal users, observing real workflows to decide what to build and how to improve it.
- Build systems that handle uncertainty transparently, with attention to compliance, auditability and data freshness.
- Create data ingestion and migration pipelines that turn messy, inconsistent legacy data into clean, reliable inputs.
- Keep production reliable, fixing issues promptly and holding a high bar for quality.
What we're looking for
- Experience shipping software at a top startup or well-known technology company, rather than an agency, consultancy or legacy enterprise.
- Proven record of leading a feature area independently, running your own discovery with users and delivering without a product manager defining the specifications.
- Strong ability to understand users and distinguish what they ask for from what they actually need.
- Ability to move quickly without sacrificing reliability.
- Collaborative, direct and low-ego working style, with energy for a fully in-person team environment.
Bonus points
- Strength in frontend or backend engineering.
- Staff-level engineering experience.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
- Experience building generative or real-time dynamic user interfaces.
- Proficiency with retrieval systems or agent frameworks.
Compensation and benefits
- Base salary: USD 200,000 to 300,000 per year
- Equity
Location and work model
- New York, NY, United States
- On-site, 5 days per week in office
- Full-time
