At Inventive, we build AI agents for sales teams that automate critical workflows. In the US alone, over $1 trillion worth of projects across public and private sectors are allocated via RFPs and tenders, and hundreds of thousands of organizations bid on these projects. Our current set of agents helps vendors automate parts of the RFP process, thus helping them drive efficiency and effectiveness. Our clients see an average improvement of 70+% in their workflows, and they receive high-quality proposals, significantly enhancing their chances of securing successful deals.

A bit more about the company:

• We graduated from Y Combinator in the summer of 2023
• We have a raised $4Mn seed round from Valley's top investors (General Catalyst, Sierra Ventures, Soma Cap, and top angels).
• Our founding team comprises a repeat founder with a successful exit (post series-B, 150 employees), and product & research leaders from Google AI and Stanford ML.
• We are early but moving and growing fast.

About the Role

We’re looking for full-stack Product Engineer who will architect and build core aspects of the Inventive’s platform, shape our technical direction from day one, and own the end-to-end experience across the product. This role will be in person in our HQ in Mountain View, CA and comes with a competitive salary, benefits and meaningful equity.

We are NOT looking for someone who only wants Jira tickets, polished specs, or a big engineering team to lean on. If you need clear instructions, rigid structure, or overt amount of processes, this isn’t the role for you.

If you’re a high-agency rockstar who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and loves turning ideas into elegant, scalable systems that customers love—you will thrive here.

This role is a high leverage role in the following ways:

• Strategic Impact – you will work directly with the founders to influence technical and product direction, deciding how we scale our platform and what bets we make.
• End-to-End Ownership – Take ideas from rough concepts to production-ready systems – UI/UX, frontend components, and everything critical for to ensure our product is fast, reliable, and a joy to use.
• Customer-Driven Development – Talk to customers, understand their needs, and turn feedback into technical solutions that directly impact their growth.

Responsibilities

• Develop product features across our platform, from technical design to implementation.
• Build solutions end-to-end spanning the frontend (Typescript, React, Next.js) and backend (Python/Django/APIs), service and database layers.
• Be able to build reliable user interfaces, reusable components, manage app state and optimize API calls.
• Collaborate with engineering and design teams to build a robust, world class product that delights users.
• Write high-quality, well-documented, and testable code while moving fast to deliver outcomes.
• Maintain and optimize our codebase for performance and user experience.

Required Skills

• Strong experience (5-8 years) in a full stack engineering role.
• Strong frontend development skills (Typescript, React, Tailwind CSS)
• Obsess over building the product with best UX and quality.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Demonstrate ownership and thrive in unstructured environments.
• Ability to move quickly and meet tight deadlines.

Strong Plus

• Hands-on experience with Language Models and AI/ML integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
• Experience with Redis for caching and session management.
• Enterprise software development experience with security and compliance considerations
