Department Product Engineering Employment type Full Time Workplace type Hybrid
Only the best engineers are being built here. At Productboard, we are defining AI-first Product Engineering. Not as a one-time achievement, but as a baseline we raise every time we reach it. We remove every bottleneck as it surfaces and rebuild how product teams work from first principles, not just adding AI to existing workflows.
What you will build
You'd lead the architectural work that makes our codebase AI-native. Specifically: Agent-native architecture standards. Clear API contracts, semantic naming, well-defined module boundaries. The patterns that keep AI effective as it grows. A context infrastructure layer.
Repo-versioned guidance that AI tools load automatically — improving the output of Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex simultaneously. Self-healing workflows for incidents. Agents that triage alerts, pull logs, surface relevant history, suggest remediation. Humans intervene where judgment matters.
Agent workflows that go beyond chat. Multi-step reasoning, tool use, autonomous task execution with human-gated checkpoints — for product features, not internal demos. Systematic optimization of AI code review.
Earlier detection of correctness, security, and maintainability issues, with the noise filtered out before it reaches a human reviewer.
The opportunity
The first shift in our teams has already happened: agents write code. That’s the baseline everywhere. Now we’re building an AI-first Product Engineering organization where learning matters as much as shipping.
What we’re building next is a single place where work lives. Specs, plans, and full product context live in Productboard. There’s a seamless loop between Spark, our AI agent, and the coding agents. Engineers can steer from anywhere and focus on directing the work instead of typing it all out.
We are looking for a Staff Backend Engineer who wants to build this from the inside.
Why this matters for your career
Engineers own more. Not just the code: the outcome it drives. You won’t just use AI tools. You will shape the architecture that makes agents effective, define the workflows that make them reliable, and build the evaluation systems that make them trustworthy.
