Founding AI Product Engineer at Standout (SF, in-office).
The bar is taste. We want someone who has shipped product they obsess over, has real design sensibility, and a track record of side projects that show range and craft. You'll be early — building product that touches users every day.
Not a fit: big-company engineers who've never shipped end-to-end, or research-leaning ICs without product instincts.
Standout is an AI-powered talent agency for senior tech professionals, built by a French-Polish duo of repeat founders based in San Francisco. It represents a selective pool of engineers and connects them to high-growth, VC-backed startups via conversational AI (WhatsApp, voice), warm introductions to decision-makers, and salary negotiation support — modeled after the high-touch representation that sports and Hollywood agents provide their clients. The platform combines agentic AI, voice agents, and deep candidate-startup matching to reinvent hiring at scale.

I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
