About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You’ll own meaningful product surface area and drive it from ambiguous problem to shipped solution.
Build customer-facing workflows that streamline the research, sourcing, and purchasing of environmental commodities.
Partner with Product and Design to converge on 80/20 solutions—prioritizing fast learning and high impact.
Act as the DRI on initiatives: clarifying scope, sequencing work, aligning stakeholders, and driving projects to the finish line.
Raise the quality bar through thoughtful reviews, pragmatic architecture, and a bias toward getting the right things live.
Communicate clearly and in writing, using meetings primarily for active collaboration and decision-making.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A product engineer’s mindset: You care about the user, ask “what problem are we actually solving?”, and turn messy requirements into crisp scope.
High ownership and urgency: You don’t wait for instructions. You proactively propose what the next 3–12 months should look like and hold yourself to a high bar.
Collaboration with accountability: You communicate directly with respect, disagree and commit, and prefer a DRI model over consensus-by-default.
AI-native workflow: You routinely use AI to tighten feedback loops and unblock yourself, without lowering the bar for quality or judgment.
Excellent engineering fundamentals: You build reliable, secure, and maintainable software, making pragmatic trade-offs that protect long-term velocity.
