Product Engineer

We're the makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer, and Windsurf, the AI-native IDE. Together, they represent our vision for collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower teams to strive for more ambitious goals.

Our team is small and talent-dense. Among our founding team, we have world-class competitive programmers, former founders, and leaders from companies at the cutting edge of AI including Scale AI, Palantir, Cursor, Waymo, Tesla, Lunchclub, Modal, Google DeepMind, and Nuro.

Building Devin and Windsurf is just the first step—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited to solve some of the world’s biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us.

AI coding is a much more mature market than it was 2 years ago. As it has gotten more mature and competitive, user expectations have increased significantly. Users now expect first minute magic, delightful and polished experiences, and a high quality bar. Delivering products that meet these expectations across our many surfaces (IDE, web, soon to be CLI) require a lot of people, and some slightly different spikes.

In particular, we are looking for engineers who are excellent at UI/UX, product polish, etc. These people will excel at making decisions about the product and experience while coding.

To this end, we are hiring product engineers who thrive at fast-moving startups, and are excited to push the boundaries of how developers will interact and work with coding agents.

You’ll work closely with other engineers on the team, the product and go-to-market teams at Cognition, and our design partners.

In this role, you will:

• Ship product and talk to users!

• Punch through technical walls

• Build performant and beautiful experiences that developers love

• Set the standard for UX of agent products

Requirements for the role:

• A strong engineer that has attention to detail, is thoughtful about UX, and empathizes with users

• A record of exceptional achievements and impact

• Willingness to work hard, move fast and grow quickly in a rapidly changing environment

• An exceptional ability to learn

• Experience with Python, Typescript, & React in complex products
