Job description

Careerminds is a leader in career transition and coaching solutions, helping organizations support employees through change while enabling workforce growth and development. Our product portfolio includes market-leading Career Transition and Coaching Services as well as Progression, our application for Career Frameworks and progression planning.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an Product Engineer who owns products end to end - from problem to production to the metric that proves it worked - using AI as a force multiplier, not a novelty

This role exists because of how we build: a small product strategy team sets direction and priorities, and engineers own the work end to end - discovery, design, build, ship, and the result. You'll have the autonomy of a founder inside your domain, and the accountability that comes with it.

We are looking for an engineer who already works with Claude Code and Claude Design and wants to push the ceiling higher - not people who are curious about AI, but people for whom AI-native development is already how they ship.

This is a 100% remote/work-from-home role.

THE KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the full lifecycle of features and products across our consumer platform (e.g., Career.io, Resume.io and adjacent surfaces) - you are the product owner, designer, and engineer for your domain.
• Front end to back end to data. You build the UI, the services behind it, and the instrumentation that tells you whether it worked. No throwing work over a wall.
• Velocity with judgment. You ship continuously and safely, using AI tooling to compress the build loop without compromising quality, security, or maintainability.

YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO...

• Is AI-native by default. You already get meaningful leverage from agentic tools (Claude Code, Claude Design, and similar) and treat learning to use them better as part of the craft.
• Defines success up front in measurable terms, ship to production, watch the numbers, and iterate or kill based on what the data says.
• Focuses on outcome over output. Lines of code, story points, and shipped tickets are not the goal. Moving the metric is.
• Has high agency, low ceremony. You don't wait to be told what to build next. You operate with founder-like ownership inside your area.
• Is Direct. You communicate crisply with strategy, design, and other engineers, and you push back when you think a direction is wrong.

THE MUST-HAVES

• Proven full-stack ability. You are genuinely comfortable across the stack - modern front end (TypeScript/React or equivalent) through backend services and data - and can ship a feature end to end without a handoff. [Adjust stack specifics to match your team - e.g., TypeScript/React, Node/PHP-Symfony backend, AWS, Kubernetes.]
• A track record of shipping products end to end, ideally where you owned more than the code - scope, tradeoffs, and results.
• Demonstrable AI leverage. You can walk us through real work where AI tooling materially multiplied your throughput, and you have opinions about where it helps and where it doesn't.
• Product judgment. You can take an ambiguous problem, decide what to build, and defend the call. You think about the user and the business, not just the implementation.
• Data fluency. You can define, instrument, and read your own metrics, and you let evidence change your mind.
• Speed and quality together. You move fast and leave behind systems you'd be happy to maintain.
• Authorization to work for any US employer.

THE NICE-TO-HAVES

• Familiarity with our domain (careers, hiring, resumes, marketplaces) or other high-traffic consumer products.
• Comfort with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, IaC) and modern data tooling.
• A public body of work - shipped products, open source, writing, or side projects that show what you do unprompted.
