The Role You get a business problem and you own it from there: solution concept, PRD, implementation, release, and measuring whether it worked. No hand-off, no shipping blind. We're working toward a one-week cycle, but we're not there yet. We'd rather ship at ~70% and learn from real usage than polish in private. The hard part isn't the coding. It's the synthesis: going from a fuzzy problem to a technically sound, scoped solution fast enough to keep the cycle moving. That's where most engineers slow down. That's the gap this role fills. LLMs handle a growing share of the implementation. What they can't replace is the judgment to know when the architecture is wrong, when an abstraction won't hold, when a shortcut becomes next quarter's incident. Catching that before it's built, not after. What you’ll do First 30 days: Get deep into the Sharpist product: the AI Coach, the coaching platform, the learner journey Audit existing solution concepts and PRDs; understand what's shipping and why Shadow one full problem-to-delivery cycle with the engineering team Ship your first small improvements or bug fixes First quarter: Own your first problem end-to-end: define the problem space, design the solution, write the PRD Use LLMs as a core workflow tool: prompt for specs, evaluate for efficiency and soundness, iterate Work directly with engineers to ensure what gets built matches what was intended Talk directly to users and stakeholders to ground each problem in real insight, not assumptions Give structured feedback on PRDs from others: technical feasibility, scope, edge cases Year one: Own multiple features end-to-end: define, ship, measure, and know what worked and what didn't Contribute to the team's weekly give you don't shift the problem up Clarity: You write specs that don't need a meeting to explain Judgment: You know when something is technically sound vs. technically plausible-but-painful Speed: You move fast without creating rework for others Mission belief: You genuinely care about helping people. That's why you're here What We Offer Unlimited Coaching: Access certified coaches to support your personal and professional growth whenever you need it. Hybrid working model : Enjoy the flexibility to work both remotely and on-site. Growth Budget: 1000 EUR per year dedicated budget for courses, workshops, and certifications.
