Staff Product Engineer 

Remote (US timezones only)Full-Time

 About PressBox 

PressBox empowers creatives across Broadcast, Editorial, Product, Social, & Marketing teams to deliver highly-personalized experiences that speak to fans regardless of their interests. We sit at the forefront of a shift in how content is created and delivered, breaking free of algorithms, and giving fans unprecedented control over their fandom! We're assembling a small, high-leverage team to build a first-of-its kind verticalized platform that is revolutionizing content creation. We value high-agency, low-ego partners who care deeply about shipping real value and are energized by solving unique, difficult problems.

 What You Will Be Doing 

Distributed Systems

Design and scale our Cloudflare Workers architecture — Workflows for durable multi-step pipelines, Queues for worker-to-worker communication, R2 and KV for storage. Own performance and security: latency, serverless economics, and cross-tenant isolation across a host of production workers.

Multi-Tenant Platform

Scale our database-per-tenant architecture with migration orchestration across all tenants. Drive API design patterns consumed by our external partners.

Full-Stack Product Development

Ship features end-to-end across React Router v7 and Hono APIs — from data model to polished UI. Own product features from database schema to type-safe API to user interface.

Infrastructure & Developer Experience

Extend our custom CLI — a TUI for managing a host of workers, external services, and multi-tenant databases with session persistence and service discovery. Build agentic development tools that speed up customer onboarding and feature development. Make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance velocity with maintainability.

AI-Powered Content Systems

Build feedback loops that connect human curation decisions back to model improvement. Integrate LLMs for content generation, curation, and personalization across the platform.

 The Right Person Is 

A Builder First

You're drawn to early-stage companies because you want to build something, not just maintain someone's codebase. You've been described as T-shaped, and are excited by AI's ability to allow you to build broadly.

Highly Accountable

Doing something new means making mistakes. You're quick to recognize, learn, and move on, whether it's yourself or others.

A Systems Thinker

When you see a well-architected system, you don't just appreciate it — you reverse-engineer the decisions behind it and how you'd evolve it further.

Comfortable With Change

This role will evolve. The company will evolve. You're excited by that, not anxious about it.

AI Native

You productively leverage AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode throughout your workflow — not as a novelty but as a core part of how you operate.

 Tech Stack 

Runtime:Cloudflare Workers, Workflows, Queues, R2, KV, Vectorize
External Services:Modal (serverless Python), AWS App Runner

 Why This Role

Remote-First

Work from anywhere, async-friendly culture focused on output over presence.
