HelmGuard Technologies, Inc. - Founding Product Engineer

• 6+ years shipping production software across the stack in a small, fast-moving team — TypeScript ideally, or an adjacent stack with the appetite to switch • A track record you can point to: things you decided on, built, and watched customers actually use • Genuine product instinct — you can tell the difference between impressive and useful, and you optimise for useful • Front-to-back range: a React UI a customer enjoys, and the API and data model that make it real • AI-native working style: Claude Code is already in your daily loop, and you have opinions about where it earns its keep and where it doesn't • High agency — you see the gap, you close it, you don't wait to be told • Real design chops — you can make something look and feel right, not just function • Experience folding LLM features into a product (agents, AI-fill, that class of work) • B2B SaaS, GRC, security, or another domain where the user is a professional with zero patience for friction • Early-stage or founding-team experience • CULTURE AND VALUES • We value a diversity of perspectives and experiences. We also hold a small set of core beliefs that reflect how we operate, and share them transparently with candidates so the fit is clear from the outset. • Put Customers First. Our customers buy outcomes from us, not features. We judge every decision by whether it delivers on that promise. • Take Ownership. Founding-stage means problems don't come pre-scoped. You see something that needs doing, scope it, ship it, own the outcome. We expect this from everyone, and provide you the backing to execute on it.
