Founding AI Product Engineer

About Rowan:

• Most AI products stop at generating an answer. We build systems that carry work across the finish line, starting with financial-services firms where workflows are fragmented and full of edge cases.
• We care less about titles than evidence. Show us something you made that works.

What you'll actually do:

• Work directly with customers to find real problems and build the smallest working solution in days.
• Build across frontend, backend, infrastructure, tools, memory, retrieval, evals, and observability.
• Decide which actions run autonomously, require approval, or should never be taken; make failures visible and recoverable.

Who this is for:

• You've shipped real products to real users and can move from customer conversation to working software without a perfect spec.
• You use AI coding and agent tools aggressively but don't outsource judgment to them.
• You're comfortable being wrong quickly and publicly, and you care about the details customers only notice when they break.
