# Product Engineer - Company: [Hamilton Ai]() - Location: San Francisco office - Remote: Yes - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: February 27, 2026 ## Job description ## **About Hamilton** Hamilton is building the operating system for charter aviation. Brokers, operators, and their customers rely on us to quote, book, and manage flights — and the current state of tooling in this industry is, to put it politely, decades behind. We're a small, senior team fixing that with modern software and AI. We're ~10 people. Everyone ships. No one hides behind a process doc. ## **The Role** We're looking for a Product Engineer — someone who's equal parts engineer, designer, and product thinker. You'll work directly with our customers (charter brokers and operators), understand their problems firsthand, and build solutions fast. Think: prototype on Monday, in a customer's hands by Wednesday, iterated and shipped by Friday. This isn't a "pick up tickets from a backlog" kind of job. You'll own problems end-to-end — from the messy "what should we even build?" phase through to production code that real people depend on. You'll be the person who turns a customer conversation into a working product. **Your day-to-day looks like:** * Talking to customers. Regularly. Not through a PM — directly. You'll sit on calls, watch them work, and build real intuition for their world so you're solving the right problems. * Building POCs and prototypes at speed. You're the person who can go from whiteboard sketch to clickable prototype in a day. We use AI tooling aggressively and expect you to as well. * Shipping features that customers interact with directly. The product lives in the browser and you'll own large parts of the experience — we use React/Next.js, but the point is building things people love, not pixel-pushing. * Making product decisions. We don't have a 40-person PM org handing you specs. You'll decide what to build, how it should work, and what "done" looks like — then validate that with real users. * Going wherever the problem takes you. Most of your time will be on customer-facing product and rapid prototyping, but you won't stop at the frontend boundary when the solution requires going deeper. ## **You Should Have** * 5-8 years of experience building products, with a meaningful chunk of that at startups or in small teams where you owned outcomes, not just outputs. * Strong product engineering skills — we work in React/Next.js with TypeScript/Node.js, and you should be comfortable across the stack. Frontend is where most of the action is, but this is a "build whatever's needed" role. * A track record of shipping things that people actually use, not just things that passed code review. * The instinct to talk to users before (and after) you build. You get energy from customer conversations, not dread. * Comfort with ambiguity. We're a startup. The roadmap changes. You're the type who finds that exciting, not stressful. * Strong design taste. You don't need to be a designer, but you know when something feels right and when it doesn't. You sweat the details that users notice. ## **Bonus Points** * You've built products in complex, regulated, or operationally-heavy industries (aviation, logistics, fintech, healthcare). * You've worked with AI/LLM-powered features in production — not just demos. * You've done customer-facing work before: onboarding calls, demos, support. You've been the person a customer Slacks when something's broken. * You have opinions about product development and can articulate them clearly. You've shipped something you're proud of and can walk us through the decisions you made. ## **You Probably Won't Enjoy This Role If** * You prefer working from detailed specs and designs. * You want to go deep on a single technical domain (this is a breadth role). * Customer calls feel like a chore, not fuel. * You optimize for clean architecture over shipping and learning. ## **What We Offer** * Competitive salary + meaningful equity in an early-stage company * Hybrid team — flexibility to work remotely with regular in-person collaboration * A say in what we build and how we build it — this isn't a "just execute" role * The chance to define what "Product Engineer" means at Hamilton from day one * Small team energy — low process, high trust, fast decisions *Hamilton is building critical infrastructure for an industry that moves billions of dollars on phone calls and spreadsheets. If that sounds like a problem worth solving, we'd love to talk.* ## Apply [Apply on Hamilton Ai]() Canonical job page:
