<h2><strong>About the job</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>About Calibre</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">AI systems are moving from proof of concepts into the infrastructure of everyday life. That creates a fundamental technical problem: how do you know an increasingly autonomous AI system is secure, reliable and behaving as intended? And who do you trust to answer that question?</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">The institutions and processes we rely on to provide that confidence were built for a slower, more predictable world. AI is advancing faster than the mechanisms we use to trust it.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Calibre is building trust for the AI era as the first AI-native certification body. We develop core technologies to understand AI and cybersecurity risk, and use them to independently assess companies against leading standards.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Founded by two ex-Palantir technical co-founders, and a founding team spanning audit and AI research, we are pushing the frontier of what trust looks like for the AI economy. We’ve raised $3.3M<strong> </strong>from top tier SF based VCs.</p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>The Role</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are hiring a <strong>genuinely exceptional</strong> Product Engineer to join the founding team and build a new class of products to supercharge our AI-native certification process.</p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><p style="min-height:1.5em">This person is language-agnostic, obsesses over first principles, and has already integrated LLMs into their daily workflow as a true force multiplier.</p><div style="min-height:1.2em;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"> </div><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What You Will Do</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Own products across the whole stack. </strong>Build and ship high-quality, high-velocity code across the full stack (front-end, back-end, and AI-agent infrastructure)</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Build products end-to-end.
