You will be part of a growth-focused private equity investment firm that emphasizes hands-on product and engineering transformation.
What You'll Do
- Embed with portfolio product and engineering teams to build end-to-end features across frontend, backend, data, and infrastructure—shipping production-grade software with testing, monitoring, and documentation.
- Modernize legacy products into AI-first architectures by prototyping quickly (days), validating the highest-impact use cases, and scaling prototypes into maintainable systems.
- Shape and accelerate AI adoption across the portfolio by scouting and benchmarking new AI tools/frameworks, curating reusable components, and training teams via pairing, code reviews, playbooks, and workshops.
- Collaborate with CPOs and CTOs to identify AI-native product opportunities and refactor legacy systems into AI-first architectures.
- Engage in meaningful on-site time with portfolio companies, committing access to production repositories and focusing on shipping in weeks.
Requirements
- Proven experience as a full-stack builder with strong product judgment.
- Experience with AI-assisted IDE workflows and integrating LLM APIs.
- Ability to operate across multiple companies with high autonomy.
- Comfortable modernizing legacy systems incrementally without breaking production.
- Willingness to travel significantly and spend meaningful time on-site with portfolio companies.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with AI tools and frameworks.
- Experience in training teams through workshops and code reviews.
- Knowledge of workflow automation and predictive product features.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary in the range of $120,000 to $150,000 per year.
- Remote work flexibility with significant travel opportunities.
- Engagement in innovative projects that drive growth and modernization.
- Collaborative work environment with a focus on AI and product development.
- Opportunities for professional development and skill enhancement.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work closely with portfolio companies, driving AI adoption and modernization. The competitive salary and remote flexibility make it an attractive position.
Who Will Succeed Here
Proficient in AI technologies and frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch, with a strong understanding of LLM (Large Language Model) integration for enhancing product features.
Experience in full-stack development, particularly with JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React for frontend and Node.js for backend), enabling seamless collaboration with cross-functional teams while working remotely.
A problem-solving mindset with a background in data engineering, capable of designing and optimizing data pipelines to support AI-driven applications, while being adaptable to different work environments due to the travel requirements.
