We believe in a future of open agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want. \nWe’re building a suite of tools to make tech serve humans, and making it open source. \nSome first projects include\nStudio: A custom digital HQ for building personalized software, apps, and tools\nBouncer: A social media feed filter that removes what you don't want to see and retrains your algorithm\nSculptor: An interface for programmers to run coding agents in parallel and stay in flow\nmngr: A command-line tool for managing agents\nVet: A standalone tool that catches AI coding mistakes and reviews full PRs \nOffload: A tool that automatically distributes your tests to run in isolated sandboxes \nLatchkey: A command-line tool to integrate local agents with third-party APIs \n Darwinian Evolver: A near-universal optimizer for code and agents \nAnd we’re just getting started. If you’re excited about building a future with open agents, say hi! \nWe're supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation.\nSummary\nIn this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape our product and help build 0-1 - not just the technologies that we use, but the overall direction of our product as it evolves. You will be responsible for building across our entire stack, understanding customer needs, and contributing to our product roadmap.\nThis role is a particularly good fit for anyone who either has previously been, or would like to be, a founder of a software product company. We are looking primarily for good product intuition and judgment - someone who understands what actually matters and then makes that happen.\nExample Projects\nConduct user interviews and ask insightful questions while shadowing current or potential users• Implement rough prototypes for potential product ideas or iterations\nCollect, parse, and ideate on feedback generated from both internal and external users\nQuickly assemble code abstractions to enable fast iteration, and exercise judgment to delete code that doesn’t contribute as strongly to product fit\nShip backend and frontend code against various interfaces (web, CLI, IDE, etc.)\nCollaborate with our product design team to transform promising ideas into new product features\nYou Are\nA builder at heart\nMotivated by solving real problems for real customers\nEnergized by understanding and talking to users\nSomeone that loves to sweat the details \nAble to navigate ambiguity and work independently without explicit directions\nEither experienced or interested in being a founder of a software product company\nExperienced with React/Typescript and Python \nCompensation and Benefits\nCompetitive compensation, equity, and benefits\nLunch provided daily to onsite employees\n$250 lifestyle stipend per month\nGenerous budget for self-improvement: coaching, courses, conferences, etc\nActively co-create and participate in a positive, intentional team culture\nSpend time learning, reading papers, and deeply understanding prior work.\nFrequent team events, dinners, off-sites, and hanging out.\nCompensation packages are highly variable based on a variety of factors. If your salary requirements fall outside of the stated range, we still encourage you to apply. The range for this role is $170,000-$350,000 cash (plus equity).\nHow to Apply\nAll submissions are reviewed by a person, so we encourage you to include notes on why you're interested in working with us. If you have any other work that you can showcase (open source code, side projects, etc.), certainly include it! We know that talent comes from many backgrounds, and we aim to build a team with diverse skillsets that spike strongly in different areas.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3916,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","AI Research Labs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T11:39:35Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.133,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":448,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/imbue-product-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/imbue-product-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T10:31:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15579,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":13879},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=13879"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fimbue-product-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fimbue-product-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fimbue-product-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/imbue-product-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fimbue-product-engineer"}]}
