Job description

Location: San Francisco preferred; open to remote

Compensation: $170,000 - $210,000 base + up to 1% equity + benefits

We’re looking Product Engineer to join a founding team building a new lending marketplace for untapped vertical. This is an opportunity to lead core 0→1 product builds at the intersection of software, hardware-enabled operations, and finance.

This is a true early-stage role with significant ownership. You will own full-stack product cycles end-to-end, from customer discovery to production deployment. You will occasionally travel to visit customer sites, meet operators and lending partners face-to-face, and build what the field demands.

Why consider this role

You want to work on infrastructure that expands productive capacity, serves real businesses, and modernizes legacy financial workflows.

You care about craft, high standards, and building things that are both useful and well-designed.

You want to build tools that improve how essential industries operate, not just another generic enterprise product.

You want to work with people who take product and engineering seriously and push beyond “good enough.”

What you will do

Wrap beautiful, functional software around gnarly complexity and legacy systems

Own the full product lifecycle, from customer pain to UI/UX design to 0-to-1 full-stack engineering and shipping

Design and deploy production-grade LLM systems that automate core loan operations, including underwriting, compliance, and document processing

Help build a product culture that harmonizes speed, taste, and customer obsession

What we are looking for

1–6 years of full-time experience shipping production-grade systems

Strong product instincts and UI/UX taste, with an ability to make pragmatic product decisions and spin up quick demos

Experience with some of the following: Node.js, React, AWS, Postgres, TypeScript

Excited about LLMs and modern developer tools

Comfortable experimenting with new tools and rapidly prototyping (for example in Figma and other design/prototyping tools)

Health, dental, and vision

Flexible time off
