Product Engineer

Charter:

Design and ship the first products that replace lab and animal toxicity experiments with accurate AI. Build the next generation of internal tooling for ML research.

What are we looking for:

We only want to hire people who deeply inspire us and relentlessly push us to be better. They must level up the entire team, bringing significant energy and a sense of awe. They should have great taste for what matters, see what needs doing, and do it with great urgency. They should just act. There must be a deep curiosity for all facets of Axiom, a greater ambition fueling their excitement for what we do. They need to be cracked, technically excellent, obsessive masters of their craft. They're irrational; they could work in big tech, but they know it will not satisfy them: they want the challenge of solving a brutally difficult scientific problem and building a generational company from the ground up, as well as the rewards and glory that will come as a result.

What you will do:

• Lead Axiom’s products and internal tooling for complex scientific data visualizations and machine learning research

• Build the core foundations of web applications which can process and display massive amounts of complex data

• Work with internal and external teams to develop the best software that scientists have ever used in their life

• Architect and implement full-stack product systems from customer data storage, auth, deployment, testing, and backend

• Manage enterprise customer workflows from workspace creation, deployment, onboarding, and maintenance for the largest companies in the world

• You will be the design architect for a product that changes how science is done and for next generational tooling for ML/data research

• Own all things design at Axiom, with a focus on product and internal tooling design

  • Work closely with internal scientists and external design partners

  • Map out how people interact with our product, what they value and how we help them realize that value

  • Build the visual brand & design system as we go

• You are in the trenches and in the loop working with AI researchers day in & out, shaping how emerging AI capabilities power a delightfully useful and beautiful product

• Full-stack engineers who are 60% frontend and 40% backend

• Typescript, React, Svelte 5

• Python, FastAPI, DuckDB, Postgres, Modal, Ray

• [Optional data visualization] D3, Vega, Three.js, Recharts, Webgl

What we look for:

• Work on extremely complex problems and have built great software to simplify them

• Deep pride for the portfolio of great production products that they’ve built

• Ability to work full-stack with 60% frontend and 40% backend

• Built and deployed production software systems used by large enterprise businesses
