[Hiring] AI Product Engineer @Nerdy

Role Description

We’re looking for an AI Product Engineer who blends the instincts of a product thinker with the execution chops of a strong engineer. This role is perfect for builders who thrive at the intersection of discovery, design, rapid prototyping, and shipping real customer-facing features.

You’ll own problems end-to-end — from understanding the customer need to designing an elegant solution to shipping polished, reliable, AI-powered experiences. You won’t be confined to “product” or “engineering” boxes. You’ll do both. And you'll move fast.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering skills in one or more areas: front-end, back-end, full-stack, systems, or similar.
• Demonstrated ability to own a problem from concept through shipped solution.
• Experience building software products, internal tools, prototypes, or applications.
• Comfort working across product and engineering boundaries — writing specs, designing workflows, and building the solution.
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate development (e.g., chat-based coding assistants, automation tools, rapid prototyping tools).
• Excellent communication skills across cross-functional teams.
• A customer-obsessed mindset — grounding decisions in user needs, outcomes, and real behavior.
• Ability to move quickly, make sound tradeoffs, and iterate based on evidence.
• Familiarity with cloud environments (any major provider).
• Comfort analyzing data, defining success metrics, and interpreting signals to guide product improvements.
• Experience working in fast-paced, highly iterative environments.

Requirements

• Identify and deeply understand customer problems through data, feedback, and direct observation.
• Define AI-powered features or improvements, including writing crisp problem statements, user flows, and success criteria.
• Prototype and build end-to-end solutions, spanning front-end, back-end, and AI-powered logic.
• Integrate AI into products thoughtfully, prioritizing user value and reliable outcomes over novelty.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering to deliver high-quality features quickly.
• Own quality and performance, ensuring what you ship is fast, reliable, and delightful.
• Set up measurement and feedback loops to continuously improve features.
• Operate like an owner, accountable for the impact of what you build.

Benefits

• Market-leading salary paired with clear promotion pathways and equity (RSUs) - become an owner in our success.
• 401(k) plan with company match and immediate vesting.
• We embrace flexibility across time zones and working styles to attract top talent and meet learners where they are.
• Recharge on your terms, ensuring maximum productivity.
• Access an all-inclusive learning membership for you and your household, including 1:1 tutoring hours, unlimited on-demand classes, and our full suite of learning products and services.
• Leverage cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate your workflow.
• Medical, dental, vision, life, STD & LTD plans plus strong maternity, paternity, and adoption leaves - numerous options for you and your family.
