Shape the product roadmap, making key product calls DrBalcony is looking for a rare kind of engineer: an **AI Builder** who can take an idea from a sentence to a shipped product without waiting on anyone else. You're equally comfortable designing the UX, building the frontend, wiring the backend, and integrating the AI that makes it all worth using. You think in products, not tickets — you care about *why* something is being built and *who* it's for, not just how. This role is for a generalist who'd rather own an entire surface area than a single layer of the stack. ### **What You'll Do** * Take AI product ideas from concept design build ship, end to end * Design the experience: flows, wireframes, and interfaces that make complex AI feel simple * Build polished frontends and the backend services and APIs behind them * Integrate LLMs and AI agents into real, usable workflows — streaming, orchestration, the works * Make product calls: what to build, what to cut, what "good enough to ship" means * Prototype fast, get it in front of users, and iterate on real feedback * Own quality across the whole stack: UX, performance, reliability, and polish * Help shape the product roadmap, not just execute someone else's spec ### **What You Bring** **Frontend:** React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind — you build interfaces that feel good to use **Backend:** Node.js and/or Python, REST/GraphQL APIs, databases (PostgreSQL, Redis), auth, and the glue between services **AI:** Hands\-on with LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI), agent workflows, prompting, and integrating AI into products that actually work **UX/Design:** A real eye for layout, flow, and usability — comfortable in Figma, fluent in turning rough ideas into clean interfaces **Product:** Instinct for what users need, judgment on tradeoffs, and the discipline to ship and iterate ### **Who You Are** * A builder at heart — you've shipped things, probably more than one, probably solo or near\-solo * Comfortable being the only person in the room who can do frontend, backend, design, *and* AI * Bias toward action: you'd rather prototype in an afternoon than spec for a week * Opinionated about quality and user experience, but pragmatic about deadlines * Self\-directed — you don't need a detailed brief to get moving * Genuinely excited about AI and what it makes possible to build right now ### **Bonus Points** * You've built and run AI agents or automation systems in production * You've launched your own products, side projects, or startups * You know workflow tooling (n8n, Temporal) and how to make agents reliable * You've worked across the full lifecycle of a product, from zero to users * A portfolio, GitHub, or live products that show how you think and what you ship
