Nominal powers mission-critical engineering with advanced data infrastructure, real-time observability, and analysis tools — all in one collaborative platform. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.
About the role
As a Staff Product Engineer, you'll take agent products from zero to one, turning new ideas into prototypes and prototypes into products engineers love, and lead the team that builds them, from the agents engineers use every day to the AI-native apps that come next. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Prototype new agent products and interactions in days, putting working ideas in front of engineers before anything is spec'd
- Take the best ideas from zero to one: shape the product, build it end to end, and ship it
- Obsess over the user experience: watch engineers work, find where agents help and where they get in the way, and fix it
- Set the patterns for agent UX across Nominal: streaming work as it happens, showing every step, citing sources, and letting engineers edit and take over
- Turn hardware workflows (reviews, qualification, reporting) into agent-native products, not chat bolted onto old screens
- Lead technically across product engineers, and partner closely with design, product, and the agent platform team
More about this role
Our mission is to accelerate how the world engineers new hardware. Nominal's connected test and operations platform powers the world's most advanced hardware programs and its most ambitious startups, from spacecraft, racecars, and autonomous vehicles to next-generation defense and energy programs. Our customers include Anduril, Shield AI, Hermeus, Albedo, Shinkei, and Pratt Miller Motorsports, as well as U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force programs. Now we're expanding across the entire hardware lifecycle, building the foundation, AI-native applications, and agents that accelerate innovators' work and change what's possible to build.
We're backed by Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed, and our team comes from SpaceX, Apple, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, and other leading companies.
We're the team behind Nominal's agents, AI-native applications, and MCP, and its forward-leaning AI bets. Our mission is to unlock the bottlenecks of the hardware lifecycle with AI. Our agents reason over physical reality, from high-rate telemetry and test campaigns to designs and simulations, where real test results are the ground truth their work is checked against....
