[Hiring] Staff Product Engineer @Prefect

2mths ago - Prefect is hiring a remote Staff Product Engineer. 💸 Salary: usd 225,000 - 280,000 per year 📍Location: USA

Role Description

Join a small, senior engineering group to ship end‑to‑end product slices that make Horizon indispensable for real users.

  • Own everything from a quick wireframe and demo to the production service to the observability.
  • Partner directly with the CEO, VP of Product, other product engineers, and early customers.
  • Turn field signal into working software fast.
  • Help confidently identify market opportunities and deliver solutions.

Horizon helps developers deploy, scale, and manage MCP servers with zero configuration—built for modern AI development workflows with production-ready infrastructure.

This role sits at the intersection of an emergent market where AI and LLM tooling are reshaping how development teams operate.

The right person is an enthusiastic, full-stack engineer who thrives in high‑ambiguity, seed-stage-alike startup environments and has repeatedly shipped meaningful products at early‑stage companies.

You'll report to Prefect's Director of Engineering, Jenny.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with demonstrated success shipping early-stage products from 0 to 1.0 and scaling them beyond.
  • Deep proficiency in TypeScript across the full stack.
  • Comfortable owning UI/UX implementation—not just backend services.
  • Python experience is a bonus.
  • Track record of owning user-facing features end-to-end.
  • 5+ years working with Postgres, Redis, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS strongly preferred).
  • Strong design and architectural thinking.
  • Proven experience with production observability (Datadog, Grafana, or equivalent).
  • Experience building with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
  • Genuine interest in AI, LLM tooling, and where this space is heading.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and raising technical standards.
  • Self-directed with strong judgment.
  • Comfortable with AI-powered development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.).

Requirements

  • Own end-to-end product slices of Horizon—from customer problem to wireframe to production service, including the user-facing UI/UX.
  • Define what "done" means and be accountable for it.
  • Shape technical direction and architectural decisions for Horizon.
  • Mentor product engineers on your team on systems thinking, reliability patterns, and shipping discipline.
  • Develop deep product knowledge of the AI/LLM tooling space and MCP ecosystem.
  • Establish and refine our approach to operational excellence.
  • Participate in on-call/incident response and set the standard for handling production issues.

Benefits

  • Base Salary Ranges:
    • San Francisco Bay Area & NYC Metro: $245,000-$280,000
    • Washington D.C, Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle: $235,000-$265,000
    • Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, & all other U.S. metros: $225,000-$255,000
  • Remote-first team with flexible-first culture.
  • Equity Stock Options.
  • 401(k) with 5% company match (vests immediately!).
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Medical, Dental and Vision insurance.
  • Generous Parental Leave.
  • Life Insurance and Disability benefits.
  • $800 remote work stipend for whatever you need to work (food, wellness, equipment etc.).
