Build the reason AI can be trusted

Confident AI is building the infrastructure that makes AI trustworthy. Engineering teams spend hours a day inside our platform looking at traces, evals, and test results — the frontend isn't a layer on top of the product. It is the product.

We're hiring a Founding Product Engineer to own that product end-to-end. You'll talk to users, decide what gets built, design the UI yourself, and ship it — from the component layer down to the API routes that power it. No PM writing specs, no designer handing you mocks.

As a founding engineer, the quality bar you set and the interfaces you ship will be the reason engineering teams choose us over the alternatives.

• Own user-facing features from product decision to design to shipped code. You make the design calls — there are no Figma files waiting for you.
• Build data-dense, fast, polished interfaces for traces, evaluation results, and testing workflows — the screens our users live in every day.
• Talk to users, understand their workflows, and turn what you learn into product decisions. You're the engineer in the room closest to the customer.
• Work across the stack. Most of your time is in the frontend, but you'll write the API routes, queries, and server logic your features need without waiting on anyone.
• Architect the frontend to last — the components, state management, and patterns you establish need to hold up as the product and team grow around them.
• Set the standard for product quality and user experience that every engineer we hire after you builds to.

• 3+ years building production web applications, ideally at a fast-moving product company or startup.
• Deep proficiency with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and CSS. You don't reach for a UI library because you can't write the styles yourself — you reach for one when it's the right call.
• A genuine eye for design. You notice when spacing is off by 2px, you have opinions on motion and hierarchy, and you can take a feature from idea to polished UI without a designer.
• You understand frontend at scale — rendering performance, state management, data fetching, and architecture that doesn't collapse as the product grows.
• Enough backend fluency to move fast — databases, APIs, caching, auth. You won't be scaling them, but you build against them confidently.
• Fluent with AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor as part of your daily workflow. At our size, every engineer operates at a multiplied level.
• You think in user experiences, not components. The question you ask is 'what should this feel like to use,' not 'what props does this take.'
• High-agency and comfortable with ambiguity. We're seed-stage — you identify what matters, make a plan, and ship.

• Be the reason our platform feels like the best product in AI infrastructure, not just the most capable one.
• Own the user experiences that engineering teams interact with for hours every day.
• Set the product engineering bar the rest of the team builds to as we scale from seed to market leader.

• Full ownership: you decide what gets built and how it feels, and you ship it yourself.
• A seat at the table: direct access to the founding team at the stage where every product decision compounds.
• The problem: you'll work on what makes all other AI work trustworthy. The impact ceiling is massive.

Confident AI is building the infrastructure that makes AI trustworthy. We created DeepEval, the open-source evaluation framework, and we're building the commercial platform that engineering teams use to ship reliable AI products. We have strong product-market fit, a developer community that's growing fast, and teams actively choosing us.

We're looking for a Founding Developer Advocate to own the developer experience from first touch to activation — across both our open-source framework and our commercial platform. You'll create the content, build the community, and represent us at events alongside the founding team.

This is a founding role with a seat at the table. You'll have full freedom to decide what to build, what to say, and how to say it. You won't be executing someone else's content calendar — you'll define the strategy and own the results. When developers tell you something about the product isn't working, you're in the room changing the roadmap, not filing a ticket.

• Own developer content strategy and execution across both DeepEval (open-source) and the Confident AI platform (commercial product). These are distinct products with different audiences and different adoption paths — you'll understand both and create content that serves each.
• Create onboarding content, demo videos, tutorials, and technical walkthroughs that help developers get value from the product fast.
• Build and grow our developer community. Be present in the forums, Discord channels, GitHub discussions, and social platforms where our users spend time. Engage with them as a peer, not a marketer.
• Represent Confident AI at developer events, meetups, and conferences alongside the founders. We're all out there building relationships and talking to developers — you'll be a key part of that.
• Write technical blog posts, thought leadership, and sharp content that positions us as the authority in AI evaluation and testing infrastructure. Real insight, not recycled takes.
• Be the voice of the developer internally. You'll have direct influence on product decisions based on what you're hearing from the community.
• Own competitive positioning in developer conversations. Make sure we show up in every discussion where engineering teams are evaluating AI infrastructure solutions.
• Coordinate with the founding team on product launches across both open-source and commercial products.

• 3+ years of experience in developer relations or developer advocacy at a developer tools, open-source, or infrastructure company. This is non-negotiable — the autonomy we're offering requires that you've done this before and done it well.
• Has an existing network in the developer tools and AI community. You know people, and people know you. When you vouch for a product, it carries weight.
• Understands the difference between open-source community building and commercial product marketing, and can navigate both authentically.
• Can actually write — clear, sharp technical content that developers respect, not marketing copy they scroll past.
• Comfortable on camera and on stage. You'll be producing video content and speaking at events regularly — this isn't optional.
• Proficient with AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor as part of your daily workflow.
• Technical enough to understand the product deeply and speak credibly to engineering teams about AI evaluation, testing, and observability.
• Self-directed and high-agency. You don't wait to be told what to do — you identify what matters, make a plan, and ship.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration. We're a seed-stage startup; the playbook doesn't exist yet.

• Be the reason developers go from signing up to becoming active, engaged users of both DeepEval and the Confident AI platform.
• Shape how the developer community perceives us and the category we're defining.
• Directly influence product direction based on what you're hearing from developers every day.
• Build the community and content engine that scales with the company from seed to market leader.

• Full autonomy: You own the strategy. We're not hiring you to follow a playbook — we're hiring you to write it.
• A seat at the table: Direct access to the founding team, influence on product decisions, and a voice in company strategy.
• The problem: You'll work on the problem that makes all other AI work trustworthy. The impact ceiling here is massive.
