Shortcut is a fast, lightweight and enjoyable project management platform where software teams and their AI agents plan, build, and ship together. Backed by Battery, Greylock and Techstars.
About the role
We're a product development team where everyone ships. You should be excited to work as a full-stack Product Engineer, not just a software developer. An engineer is the Directly Responsible Individual for every project we ship, with support from fellow engineers and the Product and Design teams.
What they're looking for
- Full-stack web application development using TypeScript/JavaScript on top of Zero
- Architect and implement customer-facing, LLM-based application layers
- Design APIs for human and agent consumption
- Evaluate and iterate on models, prompts, and eval pipelines to balance quality, latency, and cost
- Take turns as the on-call engineer
- TypeScript / JavaScript and Node

About Shortcut
Our mission is to ensure software development teams can do their best work. Shortcut is the project management platform that teams actually want to use: fast, intuitive, and lightweight enough to stay out of the way while keeping everything moving.
We’re deliberately focused on what software teams actually need. Where other tools accumulate configuration sprawl, admin overhead, and features built to check enterprise boxes, we keep Shortcut simple, opinionated, and fast. That focus is a product decision we make every day, and engineers here are expected to defend it.
We bring issue tracking, sprints, and roadmaps together in one place, built for the way modern engineering teams actually operate. With Korey, our agentic AI layer, we're going further, automatically surfacing context, structuring work across tools, and keeping teams in the loop on what matters, whether the work is done by people or agents.
We believe the future of software development is people and agents working together, and we’re building Shortcut and Korey to be the place where that work happens: one platform where humans and agents plan, track, and ship side-by-side.
We’re a remote-first company...
