Ship quality agents at scale. Braintrust is the AI observability platform for tracing production, running evals, and catching regressions before they reach users. Backed by Greylock, a16z and ICONIQ.
About the role
We're looking for a Director of Product Engineering to lead the team building Braintrust's core product experience. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role for someone who cares deeply about both building great products and great engineering teams. You’ll shape how we build: setting technical direction, raising our product bar, and growing an exceptional product engineering team.
What they're looking for
- A proven engineering leader who has built, managed, and scaled high-performing teams, with a track record of recruiting exceptional engineers and developing future leaders
- Exceptional product judgment and UI craft. You know what separates a good product from a world-class one and care deeply about usability, performance, interaction design, and the details
- Deep technical expertise in modern web applications. You’ve built sophisticated, data-intensive products and are comfortable with technologies like TypeScript, React, SQL, and Next.js
- A builder's mindset. You can think about organizational strategy one minute and dig into an architecture decision the next
- High ownership and a bias toward action. You thrive in fast-moving environments, make pragmatic decisions, and know how to create teams that move quickly without sacrificing quality
- Experience with startups or AI is valuable, but not required. We’d especially value experience building LLM-powered products or leading teams through rapid growth
More about this role
Braintrust is the agent observability platform. By actively applying intelligence to agent traces and automatically surfacing the most critical patterns, Braintrust gives teams the visibility to understand how agents behave in production and the tools to improve them.
Teams at Notion, Stripe, Box, OpenAI, and Cloudflare use Braintrust to trace their agents, find the issues in their observability data, and run evals that tell them how to improve.
