AI-Native Product Engineer
Melbourne VIC
Full-time
Phantm is looking for an exceptional AI-Native Product Engineer to help accelerate the next stage of our product and business.
This is not a traditional developer role. We want someone who can design, build and ship across the full stack, using modern AI-native tools to operate with the speed and output of a small team.
You will work directly with the founders and customer engagement team to turn customer feedback, commercial insight and industry knowledge into a live product quickly. The goal is simple: compress feature cycles from months into days and weeks.
If you are already building this way, and have the shipped work to prove it, we would like to hear from you.
About the role
You will take ownership of product implementation across the platform, helping us evolve and accelerate what already exists.
This role suits someone who is highly capable technically, commercially aware, visually strong, and excited by the idea of building fast in a real business environment where customer need is clear and product impact is immediate.
You will be expected to:
Own end-to-end product implementation across frontend, backend and data layer
Work directly with the founders and customer engagement team to translate market feedback and operational insight into shipped features
Rapidly prototype, refine and release product improvements
Help create a dynamic where a customer conversation today can become a working feature tomorrow
Maintain and evolve the existing platform, not rebuild it, but materially accelerate it
Build internal tools, dashboards and interfaces that make complex data tangible for customers
Improve speed, usability and product clarity across the platform
Use AI-native development tools as part of your daily workflow to increase output and reduce cycle time
Where you are likely to be
This role is likely to suit someone in the following range:
Around 2–4 years into their career, with strong full-stack capability and clear evidence they can ship quickly and independently
Or at an earlier stage, but already showing unusual speed, product instinct and fluency with AI-native tooling
We are less interested in polished corporate CVs and more interested in people who can actually build.
You are likely to bring:
Strong capability in React / Next.js and Python or Node.js
Daily hands-on use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, v0, or similar
A portfolio of shipped products, features or tools
Strong product instinct and a good design eye — you can make things work well and look good
The confidence to work independently and make sound decisions without excessive structure
The ability to work closely with founders, understand commercial priorities, and turn them into product quickly
It would also be valuable if you have exposure to:
Sustainability
Supply chain systems
Compliance or reporting data
B2B SaaS platforms
What will make you a strong fit
You are probably someone who:
Builds quickly, but with sound judgement
Is comfortable being the only technical person in the room
Can move between product, engineering and customer context with ease
Likes momentum, ownership and visible impact
Thinks in outcomes, not tickets
Uses AI tools natively, not experimentally
Wants to help shape a business, not just complete a backlog
What this role is not
This is not the right role for:
A senior architect looking to redesign everything from scratch
Someone who needs a product manager to define each task
A pure frontend or pure backend specialist without full-stack range
Someone who is still only exploring AI tooling at the edges of their workflow
Why Join Us
Phantm is a climate-technology company collecting, enriching, and repurposing, fractured, complex packaging data, turning data about materials, mass and movement into structured, actionable intelligence for reporting, compliance, and smarter decision-making.
You will join at a point where customer demand, product need and market timing are all converging.
This is an opportunity to help build a platform solving real-world data problems in complex supply chains, with direct exposure to founders, customers and live commercial outcomes. Your work will not disappear into a large organisation, it will be seen, used and valued immediately.
