Senior Product Engineer, AI Platform, Analytics
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 26, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 23, 2026.
Redpanda is the first runtime and control plane for agent-data interaction - a unified platform that combines streaming, SQL analytics, and intelligent connectivity with the governance layer enterprise AI agents need in production.
Built on infrastructure already trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing startups, Redpanda enforces governance entirely outside the agent's data path, controlling what agents see, limiting what they do, and capturing a tamper-proof record of everything they touch, so organizations never have to choose between innovation and control.
About the Role:
Every LLM call, tool call, and agent-to-agent handoff running through the Agentic Data Plane lands as a durable, queryable record. Analytics is what turns that event trail into something people act on: transcripts you can read, audit logs a security team can review. Together they answer the question: what are my agents actually doing, and what is it costing me?
We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join the team building it and working directly with users and customers. This includes the frontend as well as the backend and data layer - this data arrives at high volume, so how you store, aggregate, and query it is also an important part of the job.
You have:
5+ years of experience in software development
Experience delivering products end-to-end
A track record of shipping in fast-moving environments where the requirements might change over time
Production experience using AI-assisted software development workflows (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, etc) to accelerate prototyping, delivery, and operations
Strong verbal and written communication skills
You will:
Design and ship analytics features end to end across the full stack: React frontend, Go backend, Redpanda SQL storage layer, Postgres, Redpanda streaming, Kubernetes, Crossplane, Terraform modules, and more.
Build the user-facing analytics features for Agentic Data Plane such as Audit Log, Transcripts and Agent Network
Ensure our customers always have all the tools they need to analyze the performance of their agentic workloads
Ship features and iterate on real feedback loops rather than long design cycles
Work in a globally distributed engineering team
Nice to Have
React / TypeScript for customer-facing UIs
Go for backend development
Experience working with high-volume data and the query/serving layer on top of it - SQL or streaming data pipelines
Experience with analytical databases
You have built an analytics product, dashboards, or data-visualization features in the past
