Staff AI Product Engineer (Prague/Brno/Remote EU)

You'd lead the architectural work that makes our codebase AI-native. Specifically:

Salary range (annual, CZK): 2,295,000 - 3,305,000.

To give you a realistic picture of where you'd likely land, here's how our current L4 engineers are distributed across the salary band.

Where most of our L4s sit: Q1 (2.3M - 2.55M) · Q2 (2.55M - 2.8M) · Q3 (2.8M - 3.05M) · Q4 (3.05M - 3.3M).

Current distribution: Q1 – 33% · Q2 – 27% · Q3 – 33% · Q4 – 7%.

We're hiring a Staff Engineer to own the architectural layer that makes this real, working alongside our engineers, PMs, and designers shipping AI-first product features end-to-end. You'd ship code, set technical direction, and shape decisions about what's worth building. Your north star here will be: get from idea to validated learning twice as fast.

This role is hybrid in Prague or Brno, or remote within the EU.

We've moved away from process and toward judgment. The shift looks like this:

If you've been a founding engineer or founder, this should feel familiar. If you've been waiting for a place that operates like that at scale, this is one.

We invest before we expect. We are actively looking for the next set of constraints to remove before they slow us down.

You ship with AI every day. You think in outcomes, not output. You can name a tradeoff you made between scope and quality and tell us why you made it. You can describe what you've stopped doing because AI made it unnecessary. You've owned features end-to-end and know what it costs to get something to GA.

Concretely, we're looking for:

Strong fit: Former founding engineer or founder. A 0-to-1 engineer who turns business insights into prototypes to validate ideas quickly. Someone who's built agentic systems in production, or done deep work with multi-step LLM workflows (tool use, memory, orchestration).

Productboard is the leading intelligent product management platform, used by 6,000+ companies including Salesforce, SAP, Autodesk, and Kroger. Headquartered in San Francisco, with engineering hubs in Prague and Brno. Backed by Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Bessemer, Tiger Global, and Dragoneer.

We've spent the last decade building the foundation for how product teams work. We're now in our 0-to-1 moment again, building Productboard Spark — the AI-first, agentic experience that turns raw feedback and signals into clear problems, strong specs, and faster execution. Spark is what powers everything you'd be working on.

If you're authorized to work in the EU and want to move to Prague or Brno, we offer a one-time relocation bonus of $6,000–$13,000 USD, depending on whether you're moving alone or with a partner or family.

We're unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.
