Scrunch, a venture-backed startup, is on a mission to bring brands to an AI-first future—where people increasingly rely on LLMs to discover, understand, and act on information that matters to them.
As AI search and conversational agents replace traditional web search and browsing, Scrunch helps marketing teams rethink how their products and services are discovered and surfaced on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and more—working with AI platforms, not against them. This shift represents the biggest change to marketing since the dawn of the internet.
With $26M in backing from Mayfield Fund, Decibel, Homebrew, GTM Capital, and leading Silicon Valley founders and operators, Scrunch has scaled rapidly since commercial launch. Today, more than 500 paying brands—including Fortune 500 companies like Lenovo, category-defining brands like Skims, and breakout startups like Clerk—use the platform.
About the RoleWe’re hiring a Product Engineer to build and ship product end-to-end.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who doesn’t just write code but helps define what gets built, how it works, and why it matters.
You’ll work across frontend, backend, and product turning ideas into shipped features quickly, while building systems that scale. You should be comfortable operating without a playbook, making product decisions, and using modern AI tools to move faster and increase leverage.
You won’t just execute, you’ll help shape the product and how we build it.
Your north star: Shipping high-quality product that drives clarity, adoption, and real user value.
We’re open to engineers, product managers, or designers who are highly technical and want to become more hands-on in building product.
What You’ll DoBuild & Ship ProductOwn features end-to-end from idea to production across frontend and backend.
Ship quickly without sacrificing quality.
Translate product ideas into shipped experiences, even if that means learning new tools or technologies along the way.
Build reusable components, abstractions, and workflows that make the team faster over time not just one-off solutions.
Use tools like Claude, Codex, Cursor, and others to accelerate development, debug faster, and explore better solutions.
Ship fast, gather feedback, and continuously improve what you build.
Balance speed with long-term maintainability.
Help design systems that scale with the product and team.
Make pragmatic decisions not over-engineered ones.
Experience building and shipping product either as an engineer, product manager, or technical designer
Strong product thinking, you care deeply about user experience and outcomes
Ability to go from idea → execution (you’ve built things, not just spec’d them)
Comfortable getting hands-on technically (or actively working toward it)
Experience working in fast-paced environments with high ownership
Ability to operate with ambiguity and make decisions without perfect information
You don’t need to be a senior engineer but you should be able to build, learn quickly, and become dangerous in a modern stack.
Bonus (not required):Strong engineering background (React, Node, etc.)
Experience as a PM or designer shipping technical products
Experience building side projects or tools independently
