    Mozilla &#x2F; Thunderbird &#x2F; Thunderbolt | Staff Product Engineer, Enterprise AI | REMOTE (US or Canada) | Full-Time | $185K–$220K USD &#x2F; $155K–$185K CAD | <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grnh.se&#x2F;viz7vum71us" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grnh.se&#x2F;viz7vum71us

    We&#x27;re building Thunderbolt (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;thunderbird&#x2F;thunderbolt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;thunderbird&#x2F;thunderbolt). We&#x27;re an 8-person and growing team within the ~60-person company behind Thunderbird, the open-source email client used by 20M+ people.

    Thunderbolt is an open-source, cross-platform AI product built on the principle that people and organizations should be in control of their data, infrastructure, and model choices. It&#x27;s moving from early development into enterprise use cases, and we need someone to own features end to end — concept through launch, adoption, and iteration — not just close tickets.

    You&#x27;d work full-stack on AI-powered chat, search, research, workflow automation, admin, and integrations. We&#x27;re looking for 10+ years of engineering experience at Staff scope, hands-on AI product work (LLMs, RAG, agents, retrieval, model&#x2F;provider abstraction), and comfort in ambiguity — architecture and enterprise requirements are still being defined. Bonus: self-hosted or regulated deployments, EU AI Act &#x2F; GDPR &#x2F; SOC 2 familiarity.

    Must reside in and have work authorization for the US or Canada. No sponsorship. We read every cover letter - please make it authentic.
