Founding AI Product Engineer

About Standout

Agentic hiring marketplace

Tech

AI-heavy setup. We are building Standout as an agent itself. We fed the company with all the possible context so the agent can build 90% of it. Goose mic, interest in productivity hacks, extreme curiosity for what's new is what matters. Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript (strict) Anthropic Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku) via the AI SDK + LangGraph Postgres on Supabase, Prisma ORM OpenSearch (text + k-NN) BullMQ, pg-boss, Vercel Workflow DevKit Clerk auth, Vercel (Fluid Compute, sfo1)

The role

To apply:1. run:```npx standout standout-founding-eng```2. upload results3. post your results on X and tag `@standoutwork` () in your post ---You’d own a full slice of Standout end-to-end — either the **company experience** (how hiring managers brief us, see talent, decide) or the **talent experience** (how the people we represent get found, profiled, and intro’d). UX, UI, and the conversational agent inside it. All of it. From Figma-equivalent to prod.The job is to make the agent unreasonably helpful. Most “AI products” feel like a chat box stapled to a CRUD app. Ours shouldn’t. The bar is: a hiring manager opens it, types one line, and gets something a senior recruiter would’ve taken a week to put together — and it looks beautiful.**You’re a fit if:*** You ship fast and you ship taste. The product feels right when you build it.* You’ve spent the last year deep in vibe-coding / Cursor / Claude Code / v0 — not as a curiosity, as your actual workflow.* You come from one of: a real product or design background, a great builder who fell into code through AI, or an engineering background where the design instinct is just there.* You care about the small things: empty states, copy, the shape of a button, what the agent says when it has nothing to say.* You can hold an entire product surface in your head and own it without a PM.**You’re not a fit if:*** You need a spec.* You want to specialize in “the backend” or “the frontend.”* You think AI is hype.* You haven’t shipped something end-to-end in the last six months.**The stack** is Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind, Postgres + Prisma, Anthropic + LangGraph agents, OpenSearch. You’ll touch all of it. We don’t have a frontend team and a backend team — we have product engineers.
