Product Engineer (AI-Native)

Social Discovery Group (SDG) is a group of social discovery companies. SDG solves the problems of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection – transforming virtual intimacy into the new normal. SDG’s products redefine the way people interact and connect with one another.

Our portfolio includes social entertainment platforms designed to connect people online across different cultures and regions of the world.

We bring together a team of like-minded people and IT professionals who specialize in creating and developing globally impactful social discovery products. Our international team of digital nomads works remotely from all over the world.

We’re proud to be a two-time “Great Place to Work” winner (USA & Japan, 2024–2025) and a Top-5 Company for Work-From-Anywhere Jobs (FlexJobs, 2025).

Your main tasks will be:

• Own product features end-to-end, from a one-line problem statement to production
• Reach out to external partners and providers yourself: get sandbox access and documentation, and agree on integration details
• Write product and technical specifications together with AI agents, and take full responsibility for every line of them
• Delegate development to AI agents and critically review and accept their output in a large codebase with complex components and integrations; you won’t be writing code by hand
• Test the features you deliver and ensure the reliability of code that handles financial transactions
• Work as an equal member of the team and help evolve our AI-first development process

We expect from you:

• Senior-level engineering background with experience owning a complex production system end-to-end: architecture, reliability, deployment and integrations (backend engineer or software architect)
• AI agents (Claude Code, Codex or similar) as your primary daily development tool, and a habit of keeping up with how agentic development evolves
• Strong ownership and an entrepreneurial mindset: you figure out on your own what needs to be done and drive tasks to results without detailed specifications
• A critical eye for AI-generated work: you quickly dig into agents’ output, catch errors and choose the best solution
• A focus on hands-on product work as an individual contributor; this role does not involve managing a team

What do we offer:

• REMOTE OPPORTUNITY to work full-time;
• The initial pay level or pay range for this role will be shared with candidates during the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment;
• Vacation 28 calendar days per year;
• 7 wellness days per year (time off) that can be used to deal with household issues, to lie down and recover without taking sick leave;
• Bonuses up to $5000 for recommending successful applicants for positions in the company;
• 50% payment for professional training, international conferences, and meetings;
• Corporate discount for English lessons;
• ​ Health benefits. According to the paychecks, if you are not eligible for corporate medical insurance, the company will compensate you with up to $ 1,000 gross per year per employee. This can be spent on self-purchase of health insurance or on doctor’s fees for yourself and close relatives (spouse, children);
• ​ Workplace organization. The company provides all employees with an equipped workplace and all the necessary equipment (table, armchair, wifi, etc.) in our offices or co-working locations. In the other locations, the company provides reimbursement of workplace costs up to $ 1000 gross once every 3 years, according to the paychecks. This money can be spent on the rent of the co-working room, on equipping the working place at home (desk, chair, Internet, etc.) during those 3 years;
• Internal gamified gratitude system: receive bonuses from colleagues and exchange them for our merchandise, team building activities, massage certificates, etc.
