Product Engineer
We’re looking for a Product Engineer to build and ship products with our team.
This role sits at the intersection of product, design, and engineering.
You’ll take ideas from problem → product → design → code → launch → iteration. You’ll help understand user needs, shape product experiences, build the technology behind them, and ship products to real users.
This is a remote-first, high-ownership role for someone who enjoys building from zero to one.

-
Take products from idea to launch

-
Design product flows, interfaces, and user experiences
-
Prototype ideas quickly and validate them
-
Build frontend and backend systems
-
Develop applications using TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB
-
Build APIs and integrate AI models, payments, and third-party services
-
Make technical and product decisions independently
-
Work closely with product, design, and other engineers
-
Talk to users and use feedback to improve products
-
Use product data and user behavior to guide iterations
-
Deploy, monitor, debug, and maintain production applications
-
Continuously improve products after launch
-
Own projects from problem definition to shipped product
What we’re looking for
-
Strong software engineering fundamentals
-
Strong JavaScript / TypeScript skills
-
Experience with React and/or Next.js

Good understanding of APIs, databases, and web architecture
-
Strong product thinking and user empathy
-
Good eye for design and user experience
-
Comfortable creating prototypes and simple product flows
-
Comfortable working across the stack
-
Strong problem-solving skills
-
Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
-
Strong sense of ownership
-
Someone who cares about the product, not just the code
-
Someone who enjoys building from zero to one
Nice to have
-
Experience building AI/LLM products
-
Experience with MongoDB and PostgreSQL
-
Experience with cloud platforms and deployment
-
Experience with Docker and CI/CD

High ownership and autonomy
-
Work directly on new products from day one
-
Small, fast-moving team

Opportunity to shape products, not just implement tickets
-
Build products used by real users
