Member of Technical Staff - Product Engineer
About the role
About Us
Imbue is a radically different AI company.
We believe that data should belong to you, humans should come before technology, and everyone deserves to own a personal team of AI agents. We believe in a future of open agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want. We’re building a suite of tools to make tech serve humans, and making it open source.
Some first projects include
- Sculptor: An interface for programmers to run coding agents in parallel and stay in flow
- mngr: A command-line tool for managing agents
- Vet: A standalone tool that catches AI coding mistakes and reviews full PRs
- Offload: A tool that automatically distributes your tests to run in isolated sandboxes
- Latchkey: A command-line tool to integrate local agents with third-party APIs
- Darwinian Evolver: A near-universal optimizer for code and agents
And we’re just getting started. If you’re excited about building a future with open agents, say hi! We're supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation.
Summary
In this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to shape our product and help build 0-1 — not just the technologies that we use, but the overall direction of our product as it evolves. You will be responsible for building across our entire stack, understanding customer needs, and contributing to our product roadmap.
This role is a particularly good fit for anyone who either has previously been, or would like to be, a founder of a software product company. We are looking primarily for good product intuition and judgment — someone who understands what actually matters and then makes that happen.
Example Projects
- Conduct user interviews and ask insightful questions while shadowing current or potential users• Implement rough prototypes for potential product ideas or iterations
- Collect, parse, and ideate on feedback generated from both internal and external users
- Quickly assemble code abstractions to enable fast iteration, and exercise judgment to delete code that doesn’t contribute as strongly to product fit
- Ship backend and frontend code against various interfaces (web, CLI, IDE, etc.)
- Collaborate with our product design team to transform promising ideas into new product features
You Are
- A builder at heart
- Motivated by solving real problems for real customers
- Energized by understanding and talking to users
- Someone that loves to sweat the details
- Able to navigate ambiguity and work independently without explicit directions
- Either experienced or interested in being a founder of a software product company
- Experienced with React/Typescript and Python
About Imbue
Imbue develops tools that help people think, create, and build. We believe technology should be loyal to the user and aligned with human goals. We share many of our tools openly because we believe progress in AI should be collaborative and developer-driven.
