AI Is How We Work

Productboard is an AI-first company. Not as a tagline — but as a daily reality.

Everyone here, from Design and Product to Engineering and our CEO, uses AI every day to prototype, explore ideas, and ship faster. We are investing deeply to make AI part of our foundation.

What that looks like:

Access from day one. Every engineer and leader gets the best tools available — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and more.
AI Champions across teams. Dedicated experts embedded in teams to pair, unblock, and help you move faster with AI agents.
A codebase built for agents. Structured AGENTS.md files, curated skills, and clean patterns so AI agents can work effectively alongside engineers.
Serious investment in DevX. We continuously improve our developer tooling so testing, prototyping, and working with agents is seamless.
Dedicated AI days. Every six weeks, Engineering, Product, and Design teams get focused time to ship real features using AI tools and push boundaries.

AI isn’t something we experiment with occasionally. It’s how we build.

The opportunity

The way software is built is changing, and fast! Engineers who embrace AI-native workflows today will define the next decade of product development. Those who don’t? They will be explaining what they used to do.

At Productboard, this transformation to being AI native is not a side project; it is our entire focus. AI first is our operating model, and this is how we work. We are building an AI-first Product Engineering organization where learning velocity matters as much as shipping. Our northstar: turn ideas into validated learning twice as fast. More experiments. Tighter feedback loops. Better outcomes.

We are looking for a Staff Full-stack Product Engineer who wants to be at the center of this transformation, not watching it happen from the outside. Join us, and help shape the future of AI-powered product development.

This role can be based in Prague or Brno, where we have offices (hybrid), or remotely within Europe.

Why this matters for your career

The gap between engineers who are building with AI daily and those who are still watching is widening fast. At Productboard, you won't just use AI tools. You will shape the architecture that makes AI agents effective, define the workflows that make them reliable, and build the evaluation systems that make them trustworthy. You will work in an environment where AI first is not a future aspiration. It is the current standard.

The skills you build here, agent native design, multi-model orchestration, eval-driven development, AI-ready codebase architecture, are the skills that will define senior engineering for the next decade.

AI is how we build

This is not a tagline. It is our daily operating model across Engineering, Product, and Design. PMs and designers don't just spec features here. They prototype with AI tools and ship to production alongside engineers.

AI is embedded across the full lifecycle: technical discoveries, spec writing, design exploration, implementation, test generation, code review, CI/CD, and incident resolution. Human judgment stays in control. People own product intent and quality decisions, with strong review practices and guardrails that keep shipping safe.

What you get from day one:

Every engineer and leader gets access to the best AI tools available: Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Glean, and more
AI Champions embedded across teams, ready to pair with you, unblock you, and help you move faster with AI agents
A codebase built for agents, with structured AGENTS.md files, curated skills, and clean patterns that make AI coding agents effective alongside engineers
Heavy investment in developer tooling so testing, prototyping, and working with agents is seamless and fast
Every six weeks, we pause our regular roadmap and give Engineering, Product, and Design a dedicated 2 days window to build and ship real features using AI tools, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This is not a hackathon. What gets built goes to production.

What we are building underneath:

Agent native architecture standards: clear API contracts, semantic naming, and well-defined module boundaries that keep AI effective as systems grow
A context infrastructure layer with repo versioned guidance that AI tools automatically load, improving the output of Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex simultaneously
AI agent workflows for on-call and incident resolution: triage alerts, pull logs, surface relevant history, and suggest remediation
Systematic optimization of AI code review to catch correctness, security, and maintainability issues earlier

What you'll do

Own the frontend architecture of features and platform capabilities. Lead end-to-end delivery, with backend contributions in Python and Kotlin where it sharpens the user-facing outcome.
Design and build agent-native UI patterns: streaming responses, tool-use visualization, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, generative components, real-time collaboration with agents.
Lead the frontend craft bar: component architecture, design system contributions, performance budgets, accessibility, frontend observability, and testing strategy.
Define the contracts between backend services and AI-driven UIs so streaming, tool calls, and partial state stay predictable for users.
Make our codebase AI-ready from the frontend in: clear module boundaries, semantic naming, structured docs, and the context that makes AI agents effective in our stack.
Run experiments, validate with real users, and iterate on evidence. We measure learning velocity, not lines shipped.
Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, design reviews, and direct technical feedback.
Partner with PMs and designers to shape what we build, not just how. Product thinking is required, not bonus.
Multiply knowledge. Share what you learn across teams to raise the bar beyond your own pod.

About you

5+ years of professional engineering experience, with 4+ years building production frontends in TypeScript and React
Deep working knowledge of modern React patterns, state management, frontend performance, and accessibility
Comfortable working across the stack: you can ship changes in Python or Kotlin, reason about API design, and evolve service-level logic when the user-facing problem requires it
Production experience with GraphQL, design systems, and component libraries at scale
A track record of owning user-facing features end-to-end across frontend and backend
Clear communication, especially when explaining technical trade-offs across functions
AI in your daily workflow: you use coding assistants, iterate on prompts, and look for compounding leverage rather than one-off wins
Curiosity about agent-native frontend architecture: how UIs, contracts, and documentation need to evolve when AI agents are first-class collaborators
Pragmatic and product-focused. You ship outcomes, not elegance for its own sake

Bonus:

Experience building AI-driven UIs: streaming, tool-use surfaces, generative components, eval-driven UI development
Frontend performance work at scale (bundle size, rendering paths, Core Web Vitals)
Past contributions to design systems or component libraries used by multiple teams
