About the role

AI Product Engineer role at Lightning Labs, focused on building demos, automating workflows, and shipping features across Lightning products with AI-native development practices. Remote-friendly with San Francisco Bay Area ideal.

Responsibilities

  • Build demos and developer experiences that show what's possible on Lightning. End-to-end working applications that showcase Lightning payments, L402-gated APIs, Taproot Assets, and agentic workflows.
  • Automate and augment internal workflows by partnering with engineering, product, business development, and marketing teams to identify where AI can eliminate manual work. Build the tools, scripts, MCP servers, and integrations that make the whole company faster.
  • Ship features across products including Terminal Web, LND, and new products. You'll write production code, not just prototypes, but you'll also know when a prototype is the right answer.
  • Work autonomously with minimal direction. Understand the company's priorities, identify where you can have the most impact, and execute. Context switch across projects and teams while maintaining quality.

Qualifications

  • You build and ship production-quality software. You have a portfolio, GitHub profile, or set of projects that demonstrate this, we'd love to see them.
  • You use AI-native development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar) as part of your daily workflow, not as a novelty.
  • You're comfortable across the full stack. Our work spans TypeScript, React, Go, Python, and whatever else the problem requires. Go experience is a plus.
  • You have strong product instincts and can translate between technical and non-technical contexts. You'll work directly with business development, marketing, and product, not just engineering.
  • You're familiar with agentic AI patterns: tool use, MCP, multi-step workflows, and integrating LLMs into real systems.
  • You're self-directed with a bias toward action. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and have a track record of delivering.
