Product Engineer

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own engineering work from early scoping through release and ongoing refinement, spanning client-side and server-side code and replacing routine manual steps with automation. The position suits someone comfortable across interfaces and services who enjoys collaborating closely with colleagues on a small, flat team.

What you'll do

• Replace hand-run steps in a live application with automated processes.
• Build autonomous AI components that review complex data and surface potential exposures.
• Ship both user-facing screens and internal utilities across the client and server layers.
• Investigate applicable rules and standards, and feed user input back into product changes.
• Work with teams across the company, since much of what you build is used internally.

What we're looking for

• 3 or more years of experience as an engineer.
• Experience at a company with a live product used by real customers, at any size.
• Full-stack experience, with features shipped across both frontend and backend work in the same role.
• A track record of carrying an idea from scoping through live release, then refining it based on how people actually use it.
• A problem-first approach that focuses on the issue before choosing a solution.
• Strong written and verbal communication, a low-ego attitude and intellectual honesty.

Bonus points

• Experience at both an early-stage startup and a mid-to-large company.
• Background at a university with a strong reputation.
• Customer-facing or engineering work where customer problems were turned into product improvements.
• Familiarity with multi-step automated AI pipelines, scheduled task runners or model evaluation harnesses.
• Experience with GIS systems and geospatial data pipelines.

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary: $150K to $200K
• Equity
• Health insurance
• Retirement plan

Location and work model

• San Francisco, CA, United States
• Hybrid, with 3 days per week in office
• Full-time
