Product Engineer

Job Description

Product Engineer

You'll build the products developers reach for when they need to turn the messy, hostile web into clean data and actions an AI can use. This is hands-on product engineering at the core of what [REDACTED] does: shipping features that thousands of developers hit every day, owning them from idea to production, and obsessing over the details that make an API a joy to build on. You'll ship real product from day one, not tickets in a backlog.

Salary Range: $210,000–$260,000/year (Range shown is for U.S.-based employees in San Francisco, CA. Compensation outside the U.S. is adjusted fairly based on your country's cost of living.)

Equity Range: Up to 0.05%

Location: San Francisco, CA or Remote (Americas, UTC-3 to UTC-10)

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 3+ years building and shipping developer-facing product

Visa: Must already be authorized to work in the US or our eligible remote-hire regions. We're not able to sponsor visas right now, though that may change down the line.

About [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] is the easiest way to turn the web into data AI agents can use. One API call converts any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data - the boring-hard problem everyone building with LLMs eventually hits, solved.

We hit 8 figures in ARR in year one and more than doubled it in year two. We have 147k+ GitHub stars, and developers, agents, and category-defining AI companies build on us every day. Growth like this is rare, and we're just getting started.

We're a small team punching far above our weight. Everyone here owns a real piece of the product and company, end to end, and runs it themselves - no hiding behind process or headcount.

This is a place for people who want to work at the frontier: an AI company building the infrastructure other AI companies run on, not one bolting AI onto an existing product. We move fast, go deep, and are building the tools superintelligence will rely on to gather data from the web.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship developer-facing product features from idea to production
• Own the reliability and quality of what you ship against a web that constantly changes and fights back
• Turn hard, ambiguous problems into clean APIs developers love to use
• Work directly with the engineering team on the roadmap and the tradeoffs behind it
• Dogfood the product, read the GitHub issues, and let real developer pain drive what you build

What We're Looking For

• You've built and shipped developer-facing product that people actually used
• You care about developer experience like a designer cares about pixels: latency, response format, docs, the whole feel of it
• You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped features
• You move fast and close the loop - you'd rather ship, measure, and iterate than perfect on paper

What We're NOT Looking For

• Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start
• A strong backend engineer who's indifferent to how the product feels to use
• Someone who optimizes for process over shipping

A Note On Pace

We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings — but this role probably isn't for you.

Interview Process

Application Review — Send us your work and a quick note on why this excites you. Show us what you've shipped — products, features, APIs developers actually used. We care about what you've built, not where you went to school.

Intro Chat (~25 min) — A quick conversation to get to know each other before we go deep. We'll talk about what you've been working on, what drew you to [REDACTED], and what you're looking for in your next role. Time for your questions too.

Technical Chat (~45 min) — We'll dig into a real problem from our world — shipping a reliable feature against a web that fights back, or designing an API developers love — and talk through how you'd approach it. Come ready to think out loud; we care how you reason, not whether you memorized the answer.

Founder Chat (~25 min) — Culture, pace, ownership, and how you like to work. Time for your questions too.

Paid Work Trial (1-2 weeks) — Work with the team on a real, scoped piece of the product — paid at a contractor rate. It's the truest signal for both sides: you see what building at [REDACTED] actually feels like, and we see how you ship. Remote-friendly, and we'll flex around your current commitments.

Decision — We move fast after the trial.

If you want to build the products that turn the chaos of the web into something developers and agents can actually use, you should join us.
