Product Engineer, AI

About MiAO AI

MiAO AI was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in Singapore, having raised over SGD 95 million from globally renowned investors. Our founding team previously built large-scale live-service gaming products with over 25 million DAU and 100 million MAU.

Our mission: Let AI discover you.

The next leap in AI isn't about getting smarter — it's about becoming yours. Seventy years of AI research keep proving the same thing: general methods win over clever designs. Models are getting stronger. Protocols are converging. Infrastructure is commoditizing. But one layer remains scarce — the layer that makes AI truly yours.

We're building personal AI agents — an AI that knows you better on day 30 than day 1, not because it got stronger, but because you shaped it.

Our workflow is 100% AI-driven — engineering, product, operations, no exceptions. No middle management. Radically flat. Every team member gets unlimited access to frontier AI models. We spend on efficiency, not process.

Who we're looking for: Believe in the Bitter Lesson — let AI discover, not discover for it.

About This Role

You own the complete user-facing experience. You deliver features end-to-end — from understanding user needs, to designing interaction patterns, to shipping high-performance and polished experiences, bridging the gap between agent capabilities and what users actually perceive.

You'll join a small, elite core team, working closely with the Founding Engineer and Software Engineers, reporting directly to the founders.

What You'll Do

• Design and deliver the core experiences of how people interact with personal AI agents — e.g., conversation, feedback, personalization, and onboarding
• Solve complex UX challenges at the intersection of AI capabilities and user intent — making powerful agent behaviors feel simple and trustworthy
• Build and maintain the product's design system, ensuring consistency while adapting to increasingly complex agent workflows
• Drive product direction through prototyping and iteration — you define what to build and why
• Validate designs with data and user feedback, collaborating closely with the agent backend team

You May Be a Good Fit If You...

• Your daily workflow is 100% AI-driven — AI isn't an assistive tool, it's your default way of working
• 2–4 years of product design or product engineering experience, having delivered software products that users love — not prototypes, but products with real users
• Experience designing interactions for AI-native products — e.g., conversational UI, agent feedback loops, streaming output interfaces
• Proficient in modern frontend technologies (e.g., React, Next.js, TypeScript) with experience handling streaming data and complex async state
• A portfolio demonstrating excellent design taste and product thinking
• Deep attention to craft quality — the difference between "it works" and "it feels right" matters to you
• Comfortable with ambiguity — when a problem is unclear, you make it concrete through prototyping rather than documentation

Nice to Have

• Experience building design systems or animation/micro-interactions
• Experience with agent systems or LLM-powered applications
• Worked in an early-stage startup environment, driving product direction without detailed specs
• Please include links to your shipped product work in your resume. Applications without one may not proceed to interviews.
