Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a versatile Product Engineer who builds reusable building blocks across the stack and takes end‑to‑end ownership of features. Work with product, design, and engineering to ship high‑quality software at a fast pace.

Key Responsibilities

• Own a large portion of a product and manage projects end‑to‑end; collaborate with product and design.
• Research competitors, write product specs, and create wireframes.
• Design and implement features such as automated interview scheduling, declarative filter architectures, and in‑app signing workflows.
• Build reusable systems that serve multiple products and improve core infrastructure.
• Integrate with backend services, compile to SQL, and deploy with CI/CD pipelines.

Qualifications & Fit

• Comfortable working across the full stack; able to write frontend, backend, or infrastructure code.
• Experience handling product and technical ambiguity and delivering at the intersection of the two.
• Strong balance of speed and quality; can ship features quickly while maintaining high quality.
• Passionate about continuous improvement and open to feedback.
• Excellent collaborator and communicator, vetting decisions with stakeholders.
• Ability to create leverage through automation and abstractions.
• History of owning projects end‑to‑end; not seeking traditional tech lead or staff‑level roles.

Engineering Culture

Our culture emphasizes minimal process, ownership, and collaboration. Engineers run their projects; product managers provide strategy, designers offer feedback. Rapid iteration, low bureaucracy, and a focus on high‑quality software are core to our approach.

Technology Stack

TypeScript (frontend & backend), React, GraphQL API, Node.js, Postgres, Redis.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.
• 10‑year exercise window for stock options.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Minimum 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
• $100 per month education budget.
• Health insurance with 100% premiums covered for US employees; supplemental coverage elsewhere.
