Mooning
Mooning AI Product Engineer Contract / Remote ABOUT MOONING Mooning is an advisory, marketing and creative studio. We work on brand, strategy, content and growth for companies doing something new, and a lot of that work now involves AI in some form. We build with it as much as we advise on it. THE ROLE We want someone who builds software fast and uses AI as part of how they work, not as a party trick. You'll take an idea from a rough conversation to something actually running. Sometimes that's a client tool, sometimes an internal one, sometimes a prototype that needs to exist by Friday because there's a meeting. The work changes a lot. You might spend a few weeks on an agent that handles a client's content pipeline, then move onto a web app people outside the company actually use. Because you'll be sitting close to the people making the calls, we need your product judgement too. Knowing what to build matters as much as knowing how to build it. Most of our building now happens with AI in the loop, so we care how you use it. Not whether you've watched a demo, but whether you can get a real product out the door with these tools and know when to stop trusting them. It suits someone a few years in who has shipped real things and wants more control over what gets made than a bigger company would ever hand them. WHAT YOU'LL DO Build and ship whole products, database through to interface Build AI features that survive contact with real users. Retrieval, agents, structured outputs, and the evaluation work that stops a good demo falling over in production Take a half-formed brief and get something working, then help us work out whether it deserves to become a real product Deploy it, monitor it, fix it. You ship it, you own it Sit with the strategy and creative people and translate between what a client wants and what can actually be built Tell us when AI is the wrong answer for a client. Plenty of the time it is WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Two to four years building and shipping software, with work live that we can look at Strong across a modern web stack and happy owning backend and frontend You build with AI coding tools daily. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, Lovable, v0, Replit, Bolt, whatever you've landed on. We're not precious about which ones, but we'll ask what you use and why, and where they've let you down Product instinct. You'll argue with us when an idea is bad, and bring a better one You can work without a fully spec'd brief and still not ship something sloppy NON-NEGOTIABLES: LLM tool-use and structured output RAG with pgvector Context window and token budget management Model routing by cost/quality Nice to have: Durable agent orchestration Web-scale data ingestion for LLM pipelines Fine-tuning WORK SAMPLES REQUIRED Send links to things you've built. GitHub, live products, side projects, whatever has your fingerprints on it. Tell us what you actually did on each one, especially if it was a team effort. We won't review applications without work samples. How To Apply Email Brendan@mooning.com with your CV, your work links, and a short note about something you've built with AI. We'd rather hear about the part that gave you trouble than the part that went well. Pay: Php433.00 - Php500.00 per hour Work Location: Remote
