AI Product Engineer

IMPORTANT: this job is in Chiasso, Switzerland, not in Milan. Our office is in Chiasso, about 50 minutes from Milan by train or car, and the role is full time and on-site. The contract is a Swiss indefinite-term employment contract with Anthropos SAGL, with the salary paid in CHF. The position is open only to EU citizens and to people already allowed to work in Switzerland (Swiss citizens, or holders of a B, C or G permit). Relocation support is available where possible.

About Anthropos

Anthropos is the Enterprise AI transformation platform. We help companies map, verify, and develop the skills of their workforce using innovative technologies and products that use AI at scale. We sell to enterprises worldwide and we want to become the OS that companies use to assess and develop talent at scale, in any industry.

The role

As a Product Engineer you will build and ship features of the Anthropos platform end to end: the interface, the APIs, the data model, and the AI behind them. You will take each feature from the first conversation about the problem to code running in production, in the hands of real users. Our expectation is that you can design, build and iterate real products, with the precision and vision of a product manager. You are creative, ambitious and use AI as your main approach to build products.

We work as a team in our Swiss office, in person. You will build daily, with contribution from everyone, including our founder and founding team. We are looking for a generalist: we are not looking for someone interested in touching just one technological component (e.g. Frontend, Backend, Infrastructure, CI/CD).

If you don't like to create and build products from scratch, pushing yourself to the limit in terms of ambition and experimentation, this role is not for you. We are not looking for the pre-AI era engineers or for candidates that will tell us everything about the latest React or Python release.

We are looking for a builder more than anything else and someone who has strong AI skills. If you come from a non-technical background that is ok, assuming you have enough technical knowledge and ability to build products.

How we work

We are product obsessed. We care about every detail of what we ship, and we are looking for someone who feels the same way. Ambition is a big part of our culture: we imagine and build products that are ahead of the current state of the art in our space and that must feel unique for our customers.

Our team is small on purpose. Every engineer works with AI coding agents every day and ships what used to take an entire team. That means real ownership, fast feedback loops, and a direct line from your ideas to the product.

What you'll do

• Ship product, end to end. Take features from a rough idea to production: scope them, build the UI, the API, and the data model, release them, and watch how customers use them.
• Work across the full stack. Our platform runs on Go with REST and GraphQL APIs on the backend, TypeScript, React, and Next.js on the frontend, and Docker in production. You will touch all of it.
• Build AI-powered features. AI Simulations, AI Interviews, and AI Labs are built on LLMs, real-time voice, and agents. You will design the flows, prompts, and evaluations that make them reliable enough for enterprise customers.
• Work AI-native. Use Claude Code and similar agents as your default way of building, and help us improve the workflows, tooling, and guardrails the whole team relies on.
• Own quality. Fast does not mean careless. You review what the agent writes, test what you ship, and fix what breaks. Our customers are large enterprises with real security and reliability expectations.
• Talk daily to customers and be in direct contact with them. You will present to our customers, collect feedback and help sales deliver demos and projects.

Who you are

You do not need to have seen it all already. What you need is strong fundamentals, genuine curiosity, and a hunger to learn fast.

• A strong full-stack engineer. You have 2+ years of experience shipping production software and you are comfortable on both sides of the API. You know at least one backend language well (Go is ideal, but not required) and you have built real interfaces with React and TypeScript.
• Solid on fundamentals. Data modeling, API design, debugging, testing, Git. With AI writing much of the code, your judgment about what good looks like matters more than your typing speed.
• Fluent with AI coding tools, or hungry to get there. Ideally you already use Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex every day. If you are not there yet, you are eager to learn and you will be productive with them within weeks. We will teach you how we work.
• Someone who learns fast. You pick up a new language, codebase, or domain without waiting for a course. You ask questions early and you are not afraid to be wrong.
• Builder. You like to build things and experiment, and you are extremely ambitious.
• Comfortable in a startup that moves very fast. Priorities change, the bar is high, and you will own things before you feel fully ready. This is not a nine-to-five, and we would rather say so upfront. In exchange, you will learn more in a year here than in several years elsewhere.
• Fluent in English, written and spoken.
• Able to work on-site from our office in Chiasso, Ticino. We build in person, and we do not consider fully remote candidates for this role. Relocation support is available where possible.
• Must: EU citizenship or the right to work in Switzerland (Swiss citizen, or a B, C or G permit). We cannot sponsor other work permits at the moment.

Nice to have

• Production experience building REST or GraphQL APIs, in any backend language.
• Production experience with React and Next.js.
• Experience building LLM features: prompts, evaluations, agents, or real-time voice.
• Side projects, open source work, or anything you built with AI agents that you can show us.
• Previous experience in an early-stage startup.
• You have built AI powered agents and tools and can demo them to us.

What you'll get

• Real ownership from day one. You'll own features that customers use, with direct impact on the product and the company's direction.
• A front-row seat at the AI frontier. You'll build with LLMs, real-time voice, and agents in production, for enterprise customers, every single day.
• The best tools, no compromises. Unlimited access to Claude Code and the AI tooling you need, plus top-tier hardware of your choice.
• Learning at startup speed. Work side by side with senior engineers and the founders, with fast feedback and constant exposure to product, customers, and business decisions.
• Competitive compensation. A salary between 45,000 and 70,000 CHF per year, plus a generous stock option package, so you share in what we build together.
• A great place to build. Our office in Chiasso, on the border between Switzerland and Italy, close to Lugano, Como, and Milan.
• Relocation support where possible, to help you settle in Ticino.
• Career training to keep building your skills.

How we hire

We use our own product. The process: apply → complete an AI Simulation built for this role → meet the team → offer. It is fast, and you will experience exactly what we sell.

If you love building great products and want to see your work make a real impact from day one, we would love to meet you.
