Product Engineer | AI Startup | Dublin (On-Site)
We're working with an early-stage AI startup in Dublin building autonomous agents that run real-world workflows. They’ve recently raised ~$3M, have product in use, and have just made their first senior engineering hire.
The Role
This is a hands‑on product engineering role – not research, not maintenance. You'll be building and shipping features into a live AI product used by real customers, working closely with the founders.
Backend‑first development (Python)
Designing APIs, services, and workflow systems
Building LLM‑powered features and automation
Integrating with real operational / external systems
Owning work end‑to‑end: design — build — ship — iterate
You’ll see your work in production quickly and have a direct impact on the product from day one.
What We’re Looking For
3–6 years software engineering experience
Strong backend or full‑stack fundamentals
Experience working in a product‑focused environment (not just tickets or support work)
Comfortable owning problems end‑to‑end
Curious about AI / LLMs (hands‑on interest > academic knowledge)
Enjoy working in fast‑moving, early‑stage teams
You’ll Enjoy This If You
Like building features that users actually touch
Prefer shipping and iterating over long design cycles
Are comfortable figuring things out without perfect specs
Want more ownership than you currently have
Probably Not the Right Fit If
You’re looking for pure research or model‑heavy roles
You prefer infra/platform‑only work
You want highly structured environments with narrow scope
Nice to Have
Exposure to LLMs / AI integrations
React or frontend experience
Startup or side‑project experience
Why This Role
Early‑stage, already in market with real users
Small, high‑calibre team (first hires now in place)
High ownership – no passengers
Direct access to founders and product decisions
Steep learning curve in applied AI
Meaningful equity from day one
Details
Dublin City Centre (fully on‑site)
Up to €100k base + equity
