JOB TITLE: Product Engineer III
LOCATION: Remote - US
THE ROLE: We're looking for a Fullstack Product Engineer to join a small, fast-moving team building the next generation of AI-first music creation experiences. This is a fullstack, AI-native role where you'll own features end to end, from prototype through production, monitoring, and iteration. You'll work alongside engineers, PMs, and designers in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment, shipping work that real producers and music-makers rely on. Our team practices agentic engineering end-to-end, and we expect engineers to be fluent with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to build production-grade features without sacrificing code quality or reliability.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Build and ship fullstack features across multiple AI-first products, including agentic music production and audio ML experiences like voice conversion, synthesis, and composition
- Work directly with PMs and designers to take rough ideas to shipped product quickly, owning the full arc from ticket to production
- Integrate and serve audio ML models in production and build the creator-facing surfaces that bring them to life
- Develop agents and AI-powered workflows that do real, meaningful work inside the product
- Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a core part of your daily development workflow
- Own features end to end, prototype, production, reliability monitoring, and iteration
- Uphold code quality and architectural standards even when moving fast, reading diffs line by line and writing tests for production-facing PRs
- Contribute to a codebase that improves over time, with integrated reliability monitoring and a measurable weekly impact on shipped features
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience — startup / early-stage product experience where you owned significant scope and shipped real product
- Problem decomposition — You clarify scope, edge cases, and constraints before writing a single line of code
- AI fluency and control — You direct the model, write targeted prompts, reject unhelpful suggestions, and know when not to use AI at all
- Verification discipline — For production PRs, you read diffs line by line, run the code, write tests, and catch hallucinations before they ship
- Architectural judgment — You reason about blast radius, scale, and trade-offs for every meaningful technical decision
- Clear communication — You communicate efficiently with both humans and agents about technical decisions, blockers, and outcomes
- Proficiency in React, Next.js, and TypeScript (frontend) and Node.js/TypeScript (backend)
NICE TO HAVES:
- Experience on a small, fast-paced team or early-stage product with broad scope ownership
- Exposure to ML/AI products, model serving, or audio in any form
- You make music — or you've spent enough time around producers to understand how they work and what they need
SPLICE BENEFITS:
- Compensation & Equity: Competitive pay with annual reviews and equity opportunities.
- Time Off: Unlimited PTO to recharge and thrive.
- Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents.
- Retirement Savings: 401(k) plan with immediate vesting and company match.
- Parental Support: 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for non-birthing parents, and 18-20 weeks for birthing parents.
- Flexible Work Options: Work remotely or connect at our office hubs and creative spaces worldwide.
- Professional Growth: Annual learning budget, leadership programs, and team ambassador opportunities.
- Community & Connection: Inclusive events, team meet-ups, and vibrant Employee Resource Groups.
The national pay range for this role is $130,480 - $163,100. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience.
