About The Role

As a leader on our Product Engineering team, you won't just ship code, you'll own a product.

LLMs allow a more general intelligence to be embedded directly within software, challenging conventional principles of software design. We don’t yet have all the answers on what the "right" product experience looks like in this new paradigm, but we know it will go far beyond a simple chatbot—just as mobile-first design didn't just shrink the desktop.

You will be expected to think about the customer, prioritize various features, execute against company objectives, and be accountable for pushing the product forward.

Importantly, product engineering at Basis is not only about building the best experience for today’s users but charting the path to the future of human - software interaction.

• First principles reasoner: Able to break complex concepts down to their fundamental elements and then build from there
• Leader: Knows what needs to get done and how to get there
