Software Engineer

About the role

Dscout is building the most flexible and powerful UX research platform on the market, trusted by top brands across finance, healthcare, consumer goods, and tech. As a Software Engineer on this remote-first team (based in India), you will own end-to-end delivery of full-stack product features, partner with Product and Design to define what should be built, and build web app surfaces that make AI-driven behavior understandable and trustworthy for researchers and participants. You will integrate LLM-based features into real product flows, use the company design system for independent UX calls, and iterate based on real usage.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end delivery of product features from an ambiguous problem statement to shipped, working software real researchers and participants use
• Partner directly with Product and Design to help define what should be built, not just how to build it
• Use the design system to make sound, independent calls on smaller UX and interaction decisions, and know when a change is big enough to loop Design in
• Build product surfaces (web app flows, dashboards, in-product controls) that make AI-driven behavior understandable, controllable, and trustworthy
• Integrate LLM-based features and agent outputs into real product flows, treating them as a building block to design around rather than infrastructure to own
• Talk to users directly when needed and bring what is learned back into design and prioritization decisions
• Ship fast, instrument what is shipped, and iterate based on real usage rather than a fixed spec
• Collaborate with AI-focused engineers on deeper model or agent tuning when a feature's behavior depends on it

What you’ll bring

• 2-7 years of software engineering experience shipping full-stack product features to real users
• Comfortable working across the stack (frontend and backend) and picking up whatever is needed to ship
• Track record of taking a vague, underspecified problem and shipping something real without a fully-scoped ticket
• Genuine empathy for users, defaulting to understanding what someone is actually trying to do
• Working fluency with LLM-based systems, including building features on top of LLM APIs or agents and understanding prompting and non-determinism
• Strong product judgment to reason about tradeoffs and push back when a request doesn't serve the user
• Comfortable using the design system to independently make good UX calls on smaller details
• Comfort using AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a real part of the workflow

Nice to have

• Experience building product features on top of conversational or voice AI
• Familiarity with LLM observability/eval tooling, even if not owning it
• Experience partnering closely with UX research or qualitative research teams
• Direct experience talking to users or running lightweight user research yourself
