Job summary

Tactiq is seeking a product engineer to own an end-to-end domain around its browser extension and capture path across Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams, including the API and durable storage integration. You will shape priorities with product and ensure quality through automated and human reviews.

You will design for reliability and observability, mentor teammates, and expand your remit into broader product areas over time. The role requires TS/Node expertise and experience with end-to-end systems.

Qualifications

• Experience owning user-facing systems end to end, ideally a browser extension (MV3).
• Strong TypeScript/Node proficiency and ability to ramp fast in a TS-heavy codebase.
• System design across APIs, data flows, reliability, and observability.
• Sound judgment on durable storage and data modeling (Firestore).
• Product judgment: connecting technical work to activation, retention, quality, cost, or reliability.

Responsibilities

• Frame the problem: clarify ambiguous product and system problems with product, define the failure, the success metric, and the smallest reversible path to learn.
• Design and ship: the extension and capture pipeline across Meet, Zoom, and Teams, and the save path that gets each transcript into storage.
• Build the tooling: turn repeatable work into internal tools and checks the whole team uses.
• Run experiments: change one thing, measure, and revert or iterate.
• Raise the bar: review designs and code, mentor engineers, reduce single-person dependencies.
• Reliability: own reliability by design for this domain: SLOs, prevention, and durability.
