About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and ship high quality customer-facing products and features.
Own products from concept to production, ensuring they are performant, reliable, and delightful for users. Make good product and design decisions, and be open to feedback and collaborative creation.
Bring a strong product instinct — push back when something doesn't make sense, and propose your own ideas to help make our product even better.
Partner with product and design teams to shape what we build, not just how we build it.
Identify bottlenecks, build great monitoring, propose solutions, and optimize performance across both frontend and backend systems.
Help raise the bar for product quality, design polish, and craft as the team grows.

Requirements

What you’ll need

4+ years of experience shipping external-facing products as a full-stack or product engineer with strong product taste and judgment.
Proficient in React, TypeScript, Next.js, and JS runtimes.
High agency and a bias toward action; you talk to users, you iterate, you ship.
AI-forward in your workflow. You use coding agents often, found interesting ways to automate your work, and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t.
Comfortable in a small, fast-moving environment where boundaries between teams are intentionally fluid.
Strong written communication and a collaborative working style with PMs and designers.
