Founded in 2012, Salsify helps brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in over 80 countries collaborate to win on the digital shelf. As the market leader globally, our products are shopper-centric, frictionless, and create memorable commerce experiences. Our products provide a competitive edge through experiences that improve brand trust, amplify product differentiation and assortments, increase conversion rate, improve profit margins, and speed time to market.\nLearn how the world’s largest brands, including Mars, L'Oreal, Coca-Cola, Bosch, and GSK, as well as retailers and distributors such as E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Metro, and Intermarché use Salsify everyday to stand out on the digital shelf.\nAt Salsify, we strive to embody an equitable, diverse, and inclusive company culture. We are united across countries, levels, tenures, and a host of other dimensions of diversity. We understand that while work is just one aspect of who we are, a truly inclusive culture accounts for the full authenticity of every single human being that works here. \nAbout the Opportunity\nWe are building next-generation internal AI-powered tools designed to empower our go-to-market teams with faster, more intelligent ways to understand customers, prioritize opportunities, and drive strategic decisions. As a Junior AI-Augmented Product Engineer, you’ll work hand-in-hand with the Platform Owner to shape and deliver new capabilities in an AI-first product development environment.\nThis is not a traditional hands-on coding role where you work independently on implementation. You’ll serve as a product-technical bridge: gathering and clarifying go-to-market business needs, framing problems, writing detailed functional and technical specifications, defining acceptance criteria, orchestrating AI-assisted changes through structured workflows, and verifying quality against strict architecture and design standards.\nYou will use advanced AI tools as your primary partner to accelerate from idea to verified delivery, while focusing on clear thinking, precise documentation, and cross-team alignment. The role requires strong collaboration, excellent written communication, command of AI usage with respect to software development, and comfort working across US and EMEA time zones.\nThis is a great fit for someone who enjoys translating business value into technical reality, thrives on structured reasoning and documentation, and wants to grow in a modern, AI-augmented product engineering practice.\nHow You'll Make an Impact:\nPartner daily with the Platform Owner to understand business challenges, stakeholder goals, and product priorities for internal tools that support go-to-market teams.\nLead or support requirements discovery (via calls, async docs, team meetings) to capture needs, edge cases, success metrics, and constraints.\nWrite and maintain high-quality product documentation: functional requirements, technical specifications, data flows, acceptance criteria, and architecture notes, adhering to established internal standards and patterns.\nTurn requirements into clear, actionable plans and precise instructions for AI-assisted implementation; coordinate changes through iterative build-verify cycles.\nEnforce consistent, enterprise-grade design patterns, architecture principles, and quality gates during planning, implementation review, and validation.\nParticipate in design and implementation reviews with a focus on correctness, maintainability, adherence to guidelines, and efficient use of AI workflows.\nRun and troubleshoot automated quality checks (type checking, linting, tests); diagnose issues and propose targeted fixes.\nHelp keep system knowledge current: update reference documentation, track changes across versions, and surface ambiguities for resolution.\nSupport alignment with engineering, product, and go-to-market stakeholders across regions. Balance the demands of leaders with those of individual contributors.\nContribute to refining our AI-augmented development processes (better patterns, templates, automation ideas).\nCommunicate effectively across time zones (US / EMEA) using async documentation, collaboration tools, and occasional synchronous sessions. \nYou'll Enjoy This Role If You Have:\nRequired\n2-4 years of experience in product engineering, technical product management, solution architecture, or junior full-stack/ frontend development roles.\nDemonstrated ability to gather requirements, write clear functional/technical specs, and create acceptance criteria - with strong written English communication.\nSolid understanding of modern web technologies (React, TypeScript, Node.js, REST APIs, PostgreSQL) and basic software architecture concepts.\nComfort with AI-assisted workflows (prompt engineering, using LLMs for code/spec generation, iterative verification).\nStrong analytical mindset: ability to break down complex problems, spot ambiguities, and ask clarifying questions.\nExcellent collaboration and communication skills - fluent in English (written + verbal); able to work async and synchronously across cultures/time zones.\nLocated in Portugal with eligibility to work in the EU; available for hybrid Lisbon work when needed and flexible for US overlap hours (e.g., 2-4 PM Lisbon time).\nPreferred\nExposure to AI platforms (Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Vertex AI) or RAG/grounding concepts.\nExperience with SaaS product development, especially in sales/marketing intelligence, account-based tools, or enterprise data platforms.\nFamiliarity with Drizzle ORM, Vite, Express, or Google Cloud ecosystem.\nAdditional European languages (French, German, Spanish) are a plus for stakeholder interactions.\nHands-on experience with Replit, Cursor, or similar AI-coding environments.\n#LI-IA1 #LI-Remote\nAt Salsify, we maintain 3 core principles as part of our Compensation Philosophy:\nWe pay market rates, which are competitive and equitable\nWe pay based on performance and proficiency, not tenure\nWe adjust proactively; when the market moves, we do too\nThe posted compensation range reflects the base salary for this position.
