AI PRODUCT ENGINEER (LLM-FIRST FULL-STACK)

Location: Remote (except California)

Status: Full-Time

At Marketing Architects, we believe TV advertising is still the most powerful marketing channel. But the typical process for TV is expensive, difficult to scale and to measure. So we flipped the traditional approach on its head and rebuilt the agency model with the client in mind. Today, we're growing a team of talent from across the United States to reimagine how brands advertise on TV.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

You’ll ship production features fast by pairing deep engineering fundamentals with AI-assisted development. You’ll compose services, generate code responsibly, write tests, and stand up evaluation harnesses so quality, cost, and latency are visible and improving week over week.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship end-to-end product features across frontend, backend, and AI services (TypeScript/Node or Python).

• Use AI assistants to scaffold code, then review, harden, and test it like a pro.

• Build evaluation suites (golden datasets, unit/integration tests) that gate releases for accuracy, safety, cost, and latency.

• Implement guardrails: prompt-injection mitigation, output validation, rate/abuse controls, PII handling, and secret management.

• Instrument everything: tracing, cost/latency dashboards, failure taxonomy, and alerting.

• Own vendor abstraction (OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure, vector stores, embeddings) with clean interfaces and fallbacks.

• Partner with Product/Design on scoping, and with Data/Infra on deployment, CI/CD, and runtime reliability.

• Document prompts, versions, assumptions, and “known bads” so the next iteration is faster.

You might be a fit if

• You treat AI like a power tool: you can code, but you prefer composing, reviewing, and testing AI-generated code.

• Proficiency with TypeScript/Nodeand/or Python, REST/GraphQL, containers, and CI/CD.

• Hands-on with LLM APIs, vector databases, retrieval patterns, and prompt/version control.

• Comfortable with Azureor another major cloud; can stand-up services and infra as needed.

• Product mindset: you measure success by shipped value, not LOC.

Desired Qualifications

• Frontend experience (React/Next) and design systems; DX tooling.

• Data wrangling (Pandas/SQL), feature stores, or light MLOps.

• Low/no-code pragmatism (e.g., Power Apps) when it’s the right call.

OUR VALUES:

Hungry Humble Smart: We seek a trifecta of talent. We take initiative and act with urgency. Look inwards before outwards. Value EQ over IQ.

Mindset Matters: Success starts between our ears. We face challenges with a calm confidence and pivot quickly. As eternal optimists, we know we are capable of great things and have survived worse. Our best days are always ahead.

Team Is Hero: We, not me. Being a hero is a team sport and it's the unique talents of many that make us one of a kind. No one person can win the day, but great teams can change the world.

Rebel Against Ordinary: We reject the ordinary to deliver the extraordinary. We are contrarians by choice. We take the path less chosen and if the way forward isn't clear, we will create it.

Relentless Learning: We never stop learning. The next book. The next podcast. The next big idea. Driven to broaden what we know. Because the more we discover what we don't, the more exciting the journey becomes.

• We offer rewarding careers that encourage growth while providing industry-leading benefits including:

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental and disability, with vision option
