Our robots automate mission-critical warehouse labor end-to-end, starting with e-commerce order packaging. We deploy fast, learn from real production data, and iterate aggressively. We already have a quickly growing number of revenue-generating robots operating in U.S. warehouses, and are now scaling towards thousands of deployments over the next few years. Our mission is simple: build the world's most useful and deployable robot.\nWARNING: Robotics is not for the faint of heart. There are no silver bullets here. It is tiresome, unglamorous, and at times brutal work. The only way out is through, and the only way through is treacherous and unknown. Success will require teamwork - so we are building a world-class team to tackle some of the most exciting problems out there. We hope you join us.\nOverview\nUltra is looking for a Product Engineer, AI Enablement to build and roll out the tools that help Ultra use AI effectively across the company. You'll work with engineering, operations, deployment, data, people, and other teams to understand how people work, find where AI creates real leverage, and turn that into reliable internal tools and workflows.\nYou'll sit on the Software team next to infrastructure and developer productivity. Your users are your colleagues. Half the leverage is how we write and ship software - coding agents, review, testing, repo context, CI. Half is how the rest of the company gets work done - agents and automations people trust. Across both, you'll make the good path easy to reuse, so teams can build their own workflows without waiting on you for every request.\nThis is a production software role. You will evaluate commercial tools, compose what works, build what doesn't exist, measure adoption, and kill what doesn't earn its keep. This is an in-person NYC role with direct line of sight to how Ultra builds and operates.\nWho You Are\nYou have strong software engineering fundamentals and you ship quickly - backend services, internal tools, integrations, automation, and interfaces (Python and/or TypeScript)\nYou've shipped agentic systems or LLM-powered tools that real people used, and you can explain where they fail\nYou're fluent with modern AI coding tools and you have strong opinions about how they should be used\nYou know when to build, when to buy, and when a conventional script beats an agent\nYou treat evaluations, permissions, secrets, and safe rollout as part of the product - not a follow-up\nYou like working with people who aren't engineers; you can turn an ambiguous workflow into something scoped and useful\nYou write clearly and you're comfortable driving adoption, not just writing code\n4+ years of production software is a reasonable bar; evidence you've shipped this kind of system matters more than the year count\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn AI tooling adoption across Ultra: find where AI improves velocity, build or integrate the solution, teach people to use it, and drive adoption until it sticks\nBuild the internal AI stack: services, workflows, interfaces, model integrations, and the agent infrastructure behind them\nMake agents competent and trustworthy in Ultra's codebase and systems - context, tool access, review, testing, CI - so the good path is the easy path\nPartner with operations, deployment, data, and business teams on workflows that give them leverage, then hand off maintainable systems with clear owners\nBuild the reusable layer: connectors, shared context, templates, examples, and guardrails so other people can extend what you ship\nEvaluate the AI tooling ecosystem and decide what Ultra should adopt, compose, or build\nPartner with infrastructure and security so AI tools have useful access without becoming a liability\nMeasure adoption, productivity, and whether the tool is actually trusted; expand what works and kill what doesn't\nBonus Points\nYou're a former startup founder\nYou’ve built self-improving, agentic systems in the past that eventually ran without you in the loop\nYou have a strong product sense and know all about UX in HIL systems\nYou've redesigned a business workflow and measured the gain, not just automated the existing mess\nExpected Compensation\n$150,000 - $225,000/annual salary + equity + benefits\nThis compensation range may be inclusive of several career levels at Ultra and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications. Adjustments outside of this range may be considered for candidates whose qualifications significantly differ from those outlined in the job description.\nEqual Employment Opportunity Statement\nWe are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4990,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"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":["Robotics AI","Industrial Automation","Logistics & Warehouse Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T16:39:16Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":302500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":68,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T12:37:19Z","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":18982,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":9351},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9351"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement"},{"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%2Fultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement"},{"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%2Fultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement"},{"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/ultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fultra-product-engineer-ai-enablement"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3281419}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ultra.tech","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3281419},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
