Great Question | Product Engineer | Remote (Canada) | Full-time | https://greatquestion.com

Great Question is the best way to understand your customers - whether it's mining what they've already told you, or generating new research via interviews, surveys and prototype tests. We're 2nd time founders, closed our Series A last year, with customers from Canva & Brex to Intuit & Amazon.

We're hiring product engineers to help us push the envelope on what's possible in AI engineering practices, while helping our customers bake customer insight into every product release.

You'll do well here if you have a strong sense of what makes a quality product, you're AI native, and you solve the problem of ambiguity with getting closer to customers.

We're hiring product engineers!

It's on the front page for me?
This is great, congrats on the launch. I never would have discovered half these venues / options without this.

This has come up on HN a couple of times (2013: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6327021 and 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23725867) but keen to hear how people think about this in the age of AI.

Heads up your resume link is broken.

Maybe! Still a great time though my attitude is pretty much "any time is a great time" for starting something.

Now is the perfect time for this.

For starters it takes years to sell into government any way. If he writes his first line of code today they might have a sellable product ready in a year. Then getting FEDRAMP accredited and going through procurement cycles probably another year or so.

I think the current administration is likely open to technology-first solutions to reduce friction in government, and the next administration is likely going to have to take a similar approach too.

We're 100% remote in that we don't have offices anywhere in the world, you can work from home etc.

However we're focusing our hiring on specific hubs including Colorado (we actually don't mind which city / town you live in within Colorado), and Brazil (with some emphasis on Florianopolis.

We have team mates all over the world, so we're not totally opposed to folks coming from wherever but it's not without its overhead: regulatory burden in needing to register and pay taxes in all of these jurisdictions, impacts on ability to get together for offsites in central locations etc.

So yes, we're fully remote but for these roles we have a strong bias for people in Colorado or Brazil.

Adding to this: we mostly focus on outbound, mostly using WorkAtAStartup or LinkedIn as a source.
