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.

What you’ll do

- Take products from idea to launch
- Understand user problems and turn them into simple product solutions
- Help define what we should build and why
- 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

- Solid software engineering fundamentals
- Strong JavaScript / TypeScript skills
- Experience with React and/or Next.js




- Experience with Node.js and backend development
- Experience building and shipping production products
- 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
- Experience with payments, queues, caching, or background jobs

- Experience building consumer products

- Experience with product analytics
- Experience conducting user interviews or usability testing

- Strong personal projects
- Open-source contributions

- Startup experience

What you’ll get

- Remote-first

- High ownership and autonomy
- Work directly on new products from day one
- Small, fast-moving team
- Work across product, design, and engineering
- Freedom to experiment and make decisions
- Opportunity to shape products, not just implement tickets
- Build products used by real users
- Learn by shipping real products
- Significant ownership and impact from day one
