Key skills for this role
As our first NYC-based Product Engineer, you’re the bridge between research, product, and real-world use.
You’ll take ambiguous problems, prototype quickly, and harden the right solutions for production—owning the stack from the interface to the data and APIs.
You’ll work directly with users, measure what matters, and iterate until the workflow is both fast and trustworthy.
Success looks like this: you ship meaningful improvements weekly, raise reliability with instrumentation and tests, simplify complex flows, and leave the system cleaner than you found it.
You set patterns the team adopts—on architecture, code quality, and product taste—and you’re comfortable operating from a problem statement, not a ticket queue.
High agency, high bar. Extreme ownership of outcomes; direct feedback.
Speed with judgment. Build fast, measure, refactor for durability.
Customer-tight. Sit with users, watch what breaks, fix it quickly.
No ego in the loop. The best idea wins; the work speaks.
Onsite in NYC. Velocity and clarity from working together in person.
Turn rough ideas into working software in days, not weeks; take features from prototype to production.
Design clean, scalable web UIs and wire them to well-structured APIs and data models.
Build AI-infused product flows with guardrails and observability so they’re dependable at scale.
Instrument everything (analytics, logs, alerts) and drive reliability, performance, and quality.
Work across design, ops, and marketplace to ship outcomes, not just features.
Talk to customers weekly; run lightweight experiments; double-down on what moves the needle.
