What We Are Looking For
At Distyl,
AI Product Engineers
build the user-facing applications and workflows through which humans interact with, guide, and improve AI systems. This role is for engineers who care deeply about how intelligent systems behave in practice—and believe that great AI systems are shaped as much by their interfaces, feedback loops, and workflows as by their underlying models.
AI Product Engineers are hands-on builders who work at the intersection of engineering, product, and applied AI. They partner closely with AI Strategists, Forward Deployed AI Engineers, and customers to translate business objectives, domain expertise, and user needs into concrete product experiences that make AI systems more effective over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the design and implementation of user-facing applications that sit directly on top of AI systems
What We Require
- 1+ years of experience of software engineering experience
- Strong Full-Stack Engineering Skills: Comfortable building across front end (TypeScript/React), back end (Python), and data layers. You can move quickly from prototype to production, and you understand how to design systems that are reliable, maintainable, and easy to evolve
What We Offer
- The base salary range for this role is $130K – $250K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible for meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package
- 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
- 401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
- Access to state‑of‑the‑art models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real‑world business problems
- Ownership of high‑impact projects across top enterprises
- A mission‑driven, fast‑moving culture that prizes curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence
Distyl has offices in San Francisco and New York. This role follows a hybrid collaboration model with 3+ days per week (Tuesday–Thursday) in‑office.
