About the role
- Own and evolve complex, user-facing product areas end-to-end - from product definition and system design to implementation, launch, and iteration
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to shape roadmap decisions and translate ambiguous problems into durable solutions
- Lead high-leverage initiatives that span frontend, backend, and data concerns, setting clear technical direction and guiding execution
- Make thoughtful tradeoffs between user experience, system complexity, and delivery speed in a fast-moving product environment
- Raise the bar on product quality, system correctness, and engineering craft across the stack
- Act as a force multiplier for the team: reviewing designs, mentoring engineers, and unblocking others
Requirements
- Significant experience building and owning product systems end-to-end, with depth in either frontend (JavaScript, React/React Native) or backend (Python)
- Strong working fluency across the stack, with the ability to lead product work beyond your primary area of expertise
- A product-minded approach to engineering — you care deeply about user outcomes, not just technical elegance
- Proven ability to operate in ambiguity: framing problems, proposing options, and guiding teams toward pragmatic solutions
- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical and product direction across disciplines
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising team-wide technical quality (people management not required)
Benefits
- Hybrid work culture with office hubs in SF, NY, Seattle & Toronto
- In-person company offsites
- Medical, dental, & vision coverage
- Flexible time off
- 401(k) with employer match
