Great Question is hiring remote Product Engineers based in Canada to build its AI-first customer research platform that helps teams recruit participants, run research, and share insights. Backed by YC and a $13M Series A, customers include Gusto, Experian, Canva, ServiceNow and Brex. The role is hands-on and end-to-end: you’ll move from customer conversations to production, ship Rails APIs and React/TypeScript frontends, and work on video streaming, realtime voice agents, agentic search and product analytics. Engineers are expected to embed AI across their workflow - using agentic tooling (Claude, Codex, Cursor, etc.), prototyping rapidly, and owning outcomes with light PM support. Compensation is CAD 150-180K with benefits, 4 weeks PTO, a MacBook Pro, generous AI tokens, equity and annual offsites.

The team emphasizes high-trust, high-agency culture with fast CI-driven deploys, runbooks, sandboxes, and minimal ceremony. Ideal candidates are senior (roughly 5+ years), strong full-stack engineers who’ve shipped production systems and LLM-powered features or understand how to run them, write clearly for async work, and engage directly with customers. The first 90 days expect rapid ramp: ship early PRs, own a surface within 60 days and lead product direction by 90. The interview process replaces leetcode with practical sessions using your AI tooling, followed by team and founder conversations; offers follow an internal leveling rubric rather than negotiation.
