[Remote] AI Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Product.ai is a company focused on providing a verified truth layer for shopping, utilizing AI technology to enhance product intelligence. The AI Engineer role involves designing systems for automation, ensuring the reliability of these systems, and working closely with the founder to guide product development and verification processes.

Responsibilities

• The agent harness for the Office of the CEO. Recruiting evaluations, merchant discovery, ops automation — the run designs, the runtime they execute in, and the architectural law that governs them. When a new automation is needed, you decide how it runs, what governs it, and what proves it correct
• Verification that scales as the work compounds. Ad-hoc human review collapses somewhere around 100-150 artifacts a day, and we're heading straight through that ceiling. You build what replaces it: regression corpora, oracle-separated checkers, sampling protocols, and escalation paths that put a human in the loop only where real judgment is needed
• A liveness check on every automation. Each system ships with a deterministic companion that proves it's alive and correct — you own the standard and the coverage. Nothing runs in production without one; nothing dies unnoticed
• Token economics and model-routing for the fleet. You decide which model runs which job and why, pointing real compute at business outcomes and adjusting the spend mid-run. You'll own falsifiable outcomes — each with an evidence test a stranger could run

Skills

• Strong technical skills in building and designing systems
• Ability to model running systems independently
• Experience in reading and diagnosing pipelines and their failure modes
• Clear writing skills to communicate complex ideas effectively
• Ability to move between architecture and implementation seamlessly
• Strong opinions about guardrails, evaluations, and agent behavior
• Experience in building automations that ran in production for months
• Ability to direct agents and trust the results based on depth of craft
• Experience with verification companions, CI gates, and regression suites
• Ability to treat agents as leverage that needs verification
