Distyl AI is seeking an AI Product Engineer to build the user-facing applications and workflows through which humans interact with, guide, and improve AI systems. You will work hands-on at the intersection of engineering, product, and applied AI to translate business objectives and user needs into concrete product experiences.
What You'll Do
- Own the design and implementation of user-facing applications that sit directly on top of AI systems.
- Build interfaces and workflows for knowledge capture, system configuration, evaluation, and feedback, ensuring user interactions are tightly coupled to underlying models, data, and evaluation pipelines.
- Partner with AI Strategists to understand customer goals, domain constraints, and success metrics, and turn those inputs into executable product designs.
- Work across the full stack—front end, back end, and data—to deliver cohesive product experiences.
- Study how humans and AI systems interact in real workflows, identifying where interfaces clarify intent, introduce noise, and affect system performance and trust.
- Iterate quickly in production, using real user behavior and system outcomes to refine both the product experience and the AI systems it supports.
- Own shipped product experiences and adapt them as customer needs, business objectives, and AI capabilities evolve.
What We're Looking For
- 1+ years of software engineering experience.
- Strong Full-Stack Engineering Skills: Comfortable building across front end (TypeScript/React), back end (Python), and data layers.
- Experience Building Products on Top of AI Systems: Shipped user-facing applications that integrate with LLMs or other AI services.
- Comfort Operating at the Product–Engineering Boundary: Enjoy working with AI Strategists and domain experts to translate ambiguous business goals into concrete, buildable product workflows.
- Systems Thinking Across Human and AI Boundaries: Reason clearly about how user actions become structured signal for AI systems.
- AI-Native Working Style: Use AI tools daily to write and debug code, explore designs, analyze data, and automate repetitive work.
Technical Stack
- TypeScript
- React
- Python
Team & Environment
You will partner closely with AI Strategists, Forward Deployed AI Engineers, and customers.
