Senior Product Engineer

About the role

about the role We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer - a product person with real technical depth and an AI-first mindset. Your primary focus is product: identifying problems worth solving, shaping solutions, and driving them from 0 to 1. You understand architecture, you've written code, you know how databases work, and you speak engineering fluently. AI is not a feature we're adding - it's how we work and how we build. Think 70% product, 30% engineer, 100% accountable for results. your mission Own 0-to-1 development of new products and features - from problem discovery to launch to iteration. Define what to build, why, and how to measure success - then see it through. Work directly with users, support, and data to understand real problems, not assumed ones. Run experiments, define metrics, and shut down what doesn't work. Collaborate deeply with engineering - understand architectural trade-offs, review technical approaches, and unblock decisions. Prototype and validate ideas fast using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, agents), scripts, no-code, or whatever gets you to the answer quickest. Identify where AI and LLMs can create real product value - and build the case for it. Write product specs and briefs that engineers actually want to read - clear, technical, and opinionated. Stay hands-on: write queries, dig into data pipelines, spin up prototypes, open a PR when it makes sense. your profile Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years in product management, product engineering, or a similar role with strong technical involvement. You know at least one programming language well enough to build things yourself (Python or similar). Comfortable with git, databases, and evaluating system architecture. Proven track record of taking ideas from 0 to live product with real users. AI-native way of working - you use LLMs, vibe coding, and AI agents daily to move faster and validate ideas. This isn't optional, it's core to how we expect you to operate. Strong analytical skills - comfortable with data, metrics, and decisions under uncertainty. Clear communicator in English - you can explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and write specs engineers respect. Self-directed - you don't wait for someone to tell you what matters. Nice to have: Experience in fintech or regulated industries. Early-stage startup background. Hands-on LLM orchestration or prompt engineering. Product analytics, Software engineer, or QA background. why join vivid?
