What will the Staff Product Engineer do?

• Contribute across the stack (Node.js/Typescript, Go, React, GCP), designing scalable architectures to support rapid product growth.
• Lead end-to-end feature development, from concept through to release.
• Champion engineering best practices and bring new ideas to the table.
• Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to build seamless user experiences.

What will the Staff Product Engineer bring?

• Strong development expertise on the backend with the willingness to predominantly use Node.js/Typescript.
• Experience designing secure, scalable backend systems (authentication, data pipelines, APIs) and/or seamless UI for complex real-time data/AI solutions.
• Familiarity with modern cloud infrastructure (GCP or AWS).
• Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and influence team direction.
