About the job
As a Software Engineer on the Handshake AI Enterprise team, you will be responsible for the product experience layer of AI applications deployed directly into enterprise customer environments. This role involves working closely with customers to understand their workflows and translate their needs into delightful, end-to-end solutions. You will be a key player in ensuring the quality and craft of AI applications in enterprise settings, holding a high bar for product quality across every deployment. This is a unique opportunity to combine direct customer impact with founding-team ownership, helping to define the future of high-craft enterprise AI products.
Responsibilities
- Own the product experience of AI applications deployed into enterprise customer environments, from initial discovery through iteration.
- Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, pain points, and what "great" looks like in their context.
- Translate ambiguous customer needs into clear, well-crafted product and technical decisions.
- Build high-quality, full-stack features, from data models and APIs to the interfaces people actually use.
- Collaborate closely with Applied AI and Platform engineers on your deployment team to ship cohesive, production-grade solutions.
- Iterate rapidly based on real usage and customer feedback, with tight feedback loops.
- Establish product engineering standards and reusable patterns that help the team scale quality as we grow.
- Surface insights from customer deployments that inform Handshake's core product direction.
Requirements
- 5-6+ years of engineering experience, full-stack with strong backend depth.
- Product engineering experience with strong fullstack instincts and a high bar for product quality.
- Experience at a company where craft was a genuine priority, having helped hold that bar.
- Proficiency across the stack: comfortable with modern backend frameworks, APIs, and data modeling, as well as React/TypeScript on the frontend.
- Strong opinions about product experience and the ability to identify and fix issues across layers.
- Ability to make pragmatic technical decisions that serve the product.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with real customers and real stakes.
- Strong communication skills, capable of translating between business needs and technical decisions.
