About 16VC

16VC is a venture capital firm and venture studio building the next generation of AI, enterprise software, and technology companies.

Alongside investing, we incubate new ideas, build products from the ground up, and work closely with founders to launch and scale ambitious ventures.

We're looking for Product Engineers who love building from zero to one and enjoy working across products, AI, and startups.

The Role

As a Product Engineer, you'll be part of the 16VC Venture Studio and Labs team.

You'll build new products, internal platforms, AI tools, and enterprise solutions from idea to launch. Every project is different—you might spend a few months building an AI product, then move on to an internal platform, automation system, or a new venture.

You'll work closely with founders, operators, designers, and leadership to turn ideas into products that people actually use.

What You'll Build

Projects may include:

• AI-native products and applications

• Enterprise software

• Internal platforms and productivity tools

• AI agents and workflow automation

• Venture Studio products

• Founder and investor platforms

• Community and ecosystem tools

• New products and experiments from 16VC Labs

Responsibilities

• Build products from concept to production

• Design and develop modern full-stack applications

• Prototype and validate new ideas quickly

• Integrate AI models, APIs, and third-party services

• Work closely with founders and stakeholders

• Take ownership of projects from start to finish

• Help shape product decisions and user experience

• Continuously improve products based on feedback

Requirements

• Strong software engineering fundamentals

• Experience building and shipping production applications

• Experience across frontend and backend development

• Strong problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently

• Product mindset with a focus on users and outcomes

Preferred Skills

Experience with some of the following:

• Next.js

• React

• TypeScript

• Python

• Node.js

• PostgreSQL

• Supabase

• OpenAI APIs

• AI agents

• n8n or Make

• Cloud platforms

Nice to Have

• Startup or founder experience

• Experience building AI products

• Side projects with real users

• Open-source contributions

• UI/UX design skills

• Public GitHub or portfolio

What We're Looking For

We're looking for builders who:

• Take ownership

• Move fast

• Enjoy solving real problems

• Think beyond code

• Love learning new technologies

• Thrive in early-stage environments

We care far more about what you've built than where you've worked.

Why Join 16VC

• Work remotely from anywhere

• Build multiple products across our Venture Studio and Labs

• Work directly with founders and operators

• Build with the latest AI technologies

• High ownership and autonomy

• Competitive compensation

• Help create the next generation of AI and enterprise software companies
