What will you do

As a Product Engineer, you will play a key role within the Software Team, working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to shape, build, and ship features that solve real customer problems. You will help translate product requirements into scalable, well-architected solutions, moving fluidly between technical implementation and product thinking. This role involves engaging with multiple moving parts and offers the opportunity to contribute across the full product lifecycle, from discovery to deployment. You will help streamline processes, enhance team efficiency, and directly contribute to the company's overall success.

Responsibilities

• Build Product Features: Design, develop, and ship features end-to-end, from initial concept through to production.
• Partner with Product & Design: Work closely with product managers and designers to translate ideas and customer needs into technical solutions.
• Own Technical Decisions: Make pragmatic architecture and implementation choices that balance speed, quality, and scalability.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with software, product, engineering, and other departments for seamless execution.
• Iterate Based on Feedback: Use data, user feedback, and experimentation to refine and improve features post-launch.
• Support Deployments: Help ensure smooth, efficient deployments and system performance.

Requirements

• 5+ years in full-stack development, with strong experience in frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript) and backend systems (APIs, microservices, gRPC, REST), databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis), and cloud infrastructure (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, AWS, or similar).
• Proficient in TypeScript and Golang (or similar languages), with solid testing experience (unit, end-to-end, and load testing using Cypress, Playwright, k6).
• Comfortable with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and modern DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines and system monitoring (Datadog, Grafana).
• Strong product sense, with the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into shipped features and iterate based on user feedback and data.
• Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into product features (e.g., RAG, GPT-based solutions, API integration with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with excellent communication to foster cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder alignment.
• Strong track record of owning features through the full development lifecycle, using issue tracking tools (Linear), and delivering on time.
• Experience in startups or high-growth environments, with comfort operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering (or equivalent experience).
