Founding Product Engineer (Systems & UX)
What We’re Building
Candid is building the software that industrial engineers use to run and review pre-construction workflows for compute and energy infrastructure.
These tools support decisions that cost millions of dollars, so they need to be fast, inspectable, and safe to use in production.
What You’ll Do
Build high-quality React/TypeScript interfaces for viewing, editing, and overriding AI-generated workflows.
Design backend systems that support secure execution, stateful workflows, and large-scale document ingestion.
Build feedback loops that turn user interactions into structured signals for improving the AI.
Own features end-to-end across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
Tech Stack
React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Next.js
Python (FastAPI), Postgres/Supabase, Redis
AWS, Docker, CI/CD
Desirable Quirks
Opinionated about UX, interaction design, and system boundaries
Keeps components modular and APIs clean
Cringes at clunky UIs or inefficient backend queries
Has good intuition for how humans should interact with complex systems
Cares about building tools that feel polished, calm, and serious
Desirable Experience
(any of these will pique our interest)
Built complex, interactive web products (editors, internal tools, canvases)
Early or founding engineer at a YC-backed company
Experience shipping production software used by technical users
Technical founder at a VC-backed startup
