About the Role
Join a small, high-ownership product team at an early-stage B2B SaaS startup as a backend-leaning product engineer . You'll own customer-facing features end-to-end, navigate messy integrations and legacy systems, and make product and engineering trade-offs with speed and strong judgment. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and cares deeply about shipping real products that customers use.
What You'll Do
Own features end-to-end — from design through shipping and iteration — with minimal PM oversight.
Build and maintain backend systems, APIs, data models, and automation pipelines.
Integrate with external tools, legacy systems, and third-party services.
Design workflows and orchestration for AI/automation-driven product features.
Debug production issues and exercise strong engineering judgment under pressure.
Collaborate closely with founders, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders in a hybrid San Francisco setting.
Balance full-stack work when required, with a clear emphasis on backend ownership.
Required
Backend-focused software engineering with hands-on experience designing, implementing, and shipping customer-facing features.
