Product Engineer (f/m/d) - Kitaru / ZenML

ZenML · Full-time · Location Onsite/Remote - Competitive comp + Stock options

The short version

ZenML (GitHub) is the open-source framework for production ML and agentic pipelines. Kitaru (GitHub) is our new product: turn agent traces into reliable evals - ingest production sessions, mine the high-signal cohorts, mock tools away, replay agents, ship with confidence.

We don't need another classic hire. We need someone who lives and breathes on X and GitHub - who creates value in public, talks like an AI engineer, and can switch modes without drama:

• one week you're shipping a feature
• one week you're writing the post / thread / demo that makes builders care
• one week you're on customer demos with real agent builders

You're a techie first. Marketing without shipping is cosplay. Shipping without talking to the world is invisible. This seat is both.

What you'll actually do

• Build for agent builders. Ship product on Kitaru - evals, replay, cohorts, DX - with taste. You read code, you write code, you know when something is sharp vs theater.
• Create in public. X is where the AI Engineering audience lives. You post, reply, demo, argue in good faith, and pull signal back into the product. Your GitHub/GitLab history is part of how we found you.
• Wear the week's hat. Marketing motion, feature work, customer demos - whatever moves the needle that week. You're not "the marketing person" or "the eng person." You're the person who makes progress.
• Stay close to the ICP. AI agent builders, eval nerds, people wiring LangGraph / Claude Code / custom runtimes. You already hang out there. This job just pays you to go deeper.
• Feed the loop. What you hear on X, in demos, and in issues becomes product. What you ship becomes the next thread. No wall between build and distribution.

What success looks like at 6 months

1. A visible, credible presence in the AI Engineering / agent-builder conversation - people associate you (and Kitaru) with useful takes and real demos, not noise.
2. Features you owned that agent builders actually use - shipped, not slideware.
3. Demo and content motion that creates pipeline and product signal without a separate "GTM person" holding your hand every week.
4. Taste: the bar for what we ship and what we say in public went up because you were in the room.
