# AI Backend Product Engineer at Monaco

- **Company:** Monaco
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-08-17
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-07
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/monaco/329d17b3-4c4c-4a22-b26e-e432ee60e86f

## Job description

Monaco is building an AI-native revenue platform that replaces the fragmented GTM stack - CRM, sequencing, call recording, enrichment, pipeline management with one unified system, consolidating 6–10 disconnected tools into a single platform built for the AI era.

We launched publicly in Feb 2026, are already 65 people, and have strong early product-market fit generating millions in ARR within months of launch. You'll have the chance to both scale our core systems and build new features from 0 to 1.

We've raised $85M in our Series B from Founders Fund, Benchmark, and Human Capital, and our founders previously led Brex, Apollo, and Clari.

Come join us if you want to be part of a high autonomy, high pace team reinventing one of the biggest categories in enterprise software.

## THE ROLE

We're looking for an AI Backend Product Engineer to help build and shape Monaco's core AI product. You'll work on the AI team, closely collaborating with product and design to turn fuzzy ideas into real features that customers use every day. This is a hands-on role with real ownership — from first prototype to production and beyond.

As an AI-native company, we're especially excited about engineers who are curious about what modern AI makes possible. You don't need to be an ML researcher or have years of AI experience. We care more that you're eager to experiment with new models and tools, learn quickly, and figure out where AI can meaningfully improve the product and how we build it.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and ship product features end to end across the stack
- Partner with product and design to solve real customer problems
- Explore where AI can make existing workflows dramatically better or enable entirely new product experiences
- Prototype with modern AI models and APIs when they're the right tool for the problem, and turn promising experiments into reliable product features
- Keep our systems fast, reliable, and easy to iterate on
- Use AI-powered development tools to increase your own leverage and help us continuously improve how we build software
- Improve our dev workflows, tooling, and deployment over time

## WHAT YOU'LL BRING

- 2+ years of experience building product-driven software
- Strong in at least one modern language (JS/TS, Go, etc.); some Python exposure
- Experience with web frameworks, APIs, and cloud infrastructure
- Strong product instincts and comfort working through ambiguous problems
- Curious, practical, and excited about building with AI - whether you've already shipped AI features or simply spend your own time experimenting with models, agents, and new developer tools
- Excited to learn quickly as the AI ecosystem evolves; prior professional AI/ML experience is not required

## LOCATION

San Francisco. We're an in-person team - 5 days in the office. At this stage, proximity genuinely accelerates product quality and team cohesion.

## About Monaco

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Monaco is the first AI-native revenue engine for startups, replacing legacy CRM and disparate sales tools with a unified platform that automates demand generation, pipeline management, and revenue operations.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funding stage not disclosed; backed by top-tier investors)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/monaco)
- **Founded**: Not publicly available (Built In lists "1971" as a placeholder error; the company is recent)
- **Founders**: Sam Blond (Co-Founder & CEO), Malay Desai (Co-Founder & CTO), Shek Viswanathan (Co-Founder & CPO), Brian Blond (Co-Founder) [monaco.com/company](https://www.monaco.com/company)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Sales technology (CRM, revenue intelligence, AI-powered sales engagement)
- **Target customers**: B2B startups (small to mid-market, enterprise-ready)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: Enable founders to focus on product while revenue scales itself [monaco.com/company](https://www.monaco.com/company)

## Products & Services
- **[Monaco Platform (SaaS)](https://www.monaco.com/product)**: All-in-one revenue platform combining database, signals, outbound sequences, pipeline tracking, call recording, and AI agents. Key components include:
  - **CRO Copilot**: Proactive coaching, insights, and prioritized actions.
  - **AI Agents**: Automate demand generation, pipeline management, and follow-ups.
  - **Pre-built TAM**: Automatically builds total addressable market from billions of data points.
  - **Signal-based pipeline**: Self-updating stages, risk detection, and auto-enrichment.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding not publicly available; reported headcount of 71 employees [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/monaco)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: "Backed by top-tier investors" (names not specified in provided data) [monaco.com/company](https://www.monaco.com/company)
- **Growth Signals**: Growing team (11+ open roles listed across engineering, design, and customer success) [jobs.ashbyhq.com/monaco](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/monaco); white-glove activation with dedicated forward-deployed sales executives; emphasis on rapid time-to-value ("value in days, not months").

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified platform**: Replaces multiple point solutions (CRM, data enrichment, sequencing, call recording) with one AI-native system.
- **Pre-built data & signals**: TAM and account scoring are set up on day one, eliminating manual data work.
- **Built by operators**: Founding team includes former CRO of Brex and Zenefits, and former CPO of Apollo and Qualtrics, bringing deep startup sales expertise.
- **AI-first approach**: Agents actively run outbound, update pipeline, and provide a "CRO Copilot" that acts as an intelligent advisor.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Scaling the revenue engine platform, expanding AI agent capabilities, and onboarding more startups through rapid deployment and dedicated support.
- **Direction**: Continue replacing legacy CRM with a self-maintaining, signal-driven system that reduces manual sales work.

- **Work policy**: Hybrid workspace – employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work; primary office in San Francisco. [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/monaco)
- **Perks**: Roles span engineering (AI, full-stack, platform), product design, and forward-deployed customer success; the team values immediate impact and "effortless onboarding" for customers.
