Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Salt AI is pioneering the future of life sciences with advanced AI, and they are seeking a Senior Full Stack Product Engineer to enhance their governed execution platform for AI work. This role focuses on creating user-friendly interfaces and ensuring the overall customer experience is powerful and trustworthy while working across the full stack.
Responsibilities
- Create beautiful, deeply usable interfaces for complex workflows: design systems, motion, dense information displays, stateful tools, and interaction patterns customers can trust
- Build experiences where users can run, guide, inspect, approve, and recover AI workflows without losing trust in what the system is doing
- Create interaction patterns for approvals, parameter review, result inspection, exception handling, and other moments where users need to make load-bearing decisions
- Make distributed AI workflows understandable: what ran, what changed, what failed, why it failed, and what the user or system can do next
- Help Salt feel like one product instead of disconnected surfaces. Build reusable components, interaction patterns, and state models that scale
- Work across React, TypeScript, APIs, backend services, and platform contracts to configure, run, inspect, debug, and reuse AI workflows
- Build interfaces for permission-aware search, indexed customer data, result inspection, citations, confidence, and trust
- Turn complex backend capabilities into product primitives customers and internal teams can safely build on
Skills
- Strong frontend and product craft. You are credible in React, TypeScript, interaction design, design systems, animation, state management, responsive UI, and customer-facing product quality
- Fullstack production range. You are comfortable enough with Python/Django, APIs, backend services, data models, jobs, and platform constraints to shape the systems behind the interface, not merely consume them
- High agency and high standards. You do not wait for a perfect spec. You clarify the problem, find the constraint, make progress, and raise the quality bar as you go
- Product and design taste. You can tell when a complex workflow is technically correct but still confusing, brittle, ugly, or hard to trust. You care about making advanced software feel legible, fast, and empowering
- Platform instincts. You think in contracts, interfaces, failure modes, permissions, observability, and lifecycle. You know how backend decisions shape the user's experience
- Good taste in abstraction. You do not over-framework the first version, but you can see when repeated customer work wants to become a platform capability
- AI-first engineering habits. You use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar systems to move faster and think at a higher level. You still understand the code you ship, review generated work carefully, and know when to slow down
- Judgment in spite of AI. You can deliver high-quality software even when AI tools are eager to generate too much code, plausible abstractions, brittle tests, or shallow solutions
- Customer empathy. You can talk to scientists, data teams, operators, and enterprise stakeholders, then translate messy real-world needs into durable product decisions
- Clear communication. You can write down the shape of a problem, explain tradeoffs, and help the team make better decisions without turning everything into a meeting
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity package
- 100% Employee Covered Medical, Dental, Vision Plan Base Plans (PPO & HMO)
- Life Insurance, 401k, Flexible Spending Accounts, & More
- Fully Remote - Required to work during US-based time frames
