**Job Type:** FTE **Level:** Senior **Department:** Product Team **Location:** Remote (US or Canada) **Rate:** $120,000-$150,000 (rates vary in Canada) **Position Overview** We are seeking a rare hybrid profile: a senior, product-minded, AI-native engineer who can own a product area end-to-end, from a vague business objective through thoughtful product definition, technical design, implementation, testing, and iteration. This person should operate less like a ticket-based contractor and more like a founding engineer assigned to a product area. The ideal candidate can understand user needs, define effective workflows, make sound SaaS architecture decisions, use AI tools to accelerate high-quality development, validate and test generated code, communicate clearly, and move work forward independently in ambiguous environments. **Responsibilities** - Own product areas from broad business goals through discovery, design, implementation, testing, and iteration. - Translate ambiguous objectives into clear user workflows, product requirements, technical plans, and implementation steps. - Question unclear requirements, identify missing pieces, surface risks and edge cases, and propose better product or technical approaches when appropriate. - Design and build polished, intuitive SaaS workflows, including dashboards, tables, filters, forms, detail views, configuration experiences, empty states, loading states, and error states. - Make thoughtful architecture decisions across data models, APIs, frontend architecture, backend architecture, permissions, integrations, state management, scalability, security, and maintainability. - Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate coding, refactoring, debugging, test creation, documentation, and architectural exploration. - Critically review, validate, debug, and test AI-generated code to ensure production-quality implementation. - Communicate clearly and proactively about requirements, architecture, tradeoffs, implementation status, open questions, risks, and blockers. - Drive work forward independently while collaborating effectively with product, engineering, design, and business stakeholders. **Qualifications** - Senior-level engineering experience with the ability to design, build, validate, and improve production software. - Strong product judgment, including the ability to understand users, workflows, pain points, business outcomes, and success criteria. - Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity, ask clarifying questions, challenge assumptions respectfully, and make progress without highly detailed tickets. - Advanced fluency with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar environments. - Ability to orchestrate AI tools effectively rather than treating them as simple autocomplete or boilerplate generators. - Strong technical judgment across SaaS architecture, including data modeling, API design, frontend and backend design, permissions, integrations, scalability, error handling, maintainability, and security considerations. - Solid understanding of modern SaaS UX patterns and the ability to build interfaces that feel intuitive, polished, and product-quality. - Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to explain reasoning, tradeoffs, risks, blockers, and decisions clearly and concisely. - Ownership mindset with the ability to act as a force multiplier for the product and engineering organization. **Additional Knowledge & Skills** - Ability to define product workflows, key screens, data models, permissions models, user actions, edge cases, and implementation approaches from vague product goals. - Experience using AI for code generation, architecture comparison, debugging, refactoring, test creation, documentation, and rapid iteration. - Ability to identify hallucinations, flawed logic, architectural gaps, and quality issues in AI-generated output. - Strong instincts around SaaS admin workflows, multi-tenant considerations, auditability, notifications, readiness tracking, executive summaries, and operational dashboards. - Comfort evaluating tradeoffs between MVP scope, future scale, usability, performance, security, and maintainability. - Ability to communicate asynchronously with clarity, structure, and appropriate context for technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Strong candidates will show evidence of owning product, UX, architecture, and implementation together, rather than operating only as a backend, frontend, or ticket-based individual contributor. - This role is not a fit for someone who requires fully defined requirements, avoids ambiguity, cannot explain architectural decisions, has weak written communication, or cannot use AI tools at an advanced level. **About the Company** Cyclotron is a Microsoft Solutions Partner focused on the modern workplace, data, and AI.
