Our Vision: Prefect will define automation for the context era.
Our Mission: Curate an intelligent context layer that delivers the right information at the right time.
Our remote first company is singularly focused on this vision and mission, and every team member directly contributes to their advancement.
We've carefully created a supportive, high-performance culture - the operating system of our company - that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers and achieve their personal and professional aspirations.
Our company operates both open-source and commercial offerings, partnering with Fortune 500 companies, data innovators, and fast-growing digitally native startups. We are looking for folks who want to join a remote-first team #LI-Remote to continue building an equally amazing company, product, and developer community.
We're looking for a full-stack engineer who leans front-end to join the Prefect Cloud team at a pivotal moment. Prefect Cloud is moving into agentic workflows — letting people describe the outcomes they want agents to achieve and then run, schedule, observe, and govern those agents with the same orchestration backbone Prefect is known for. You'll help define the UX of that new surface: execution plans, no-code / natural-language agent authoring, human-in-the-loop gates, and seamless integration with the broader developer ecosystem.
We strongly prefer someone who brings knowledge of the orchestration and developer-tools space.
You'll report to Zach (Zach Angell), Director of Engineering for Prefect Cloud, and partner directly with our product leadership, GtM partners, and early customers to turn field signal into working software fast.
Key team member who shapes and ships the agentic-workflow product surface in Prefect Cloud — execution plans, agent authoring, human-in-the-loop gates — from problem to polished, shipped experience.
Own user-facing features end-to-end across the stack, with your center of gravity on the front-end.
Be a thought partner to the Prefect Cloud engineering team on product and UX direction.
Bring orchestration / dev-tools intuition to product decisions — you understand the user and the category.
Partner with customers and GTM, including design partners, to turn signal into working software with a fast feedback loops.
Write maintainable, performant full-stack code and participate in on-call / incident response.
5+ years of full-stack engineering experience with demonstrated success shipping user-facing products.
Strong front-end skills: deep proficiency in TypeScript, Vue, and modern UI libraries. You can go from idea to polished implementation and have opinions about what makes good UX.
Track record of shipping in high-ambiguity, early-stage environments without a dedicated PM.
Comfortable across the full stack; your strength and energy are on the product surface.
Knowledge of the orchestration / workflow / developer-tools space strongly preferred — e.g. experience at or with tools like Temporal, Airflow, Langsmith, n8n or similar. Adjacent dev-tools / dev-platform experience is also valuable.
Genuine interest in agents and AI/LLM tooling; you follow where the space is heading and have opinions.
Real fluency with AI development tools. You've shipped meaningful work with Claude Code, Codex, or their equivalents. You stay accountable for what they produce: you direct them with specs legible to humans and machines; and use them to create a high trust production environment for users.
