Job Overview:

This role is a hands-on Product Engineer position within an autonomous product engineering team focused on designing, architecting, building, and delivering high-impact software solutions. The ideal candidate is a technical leader who actively contributes code, validates architectures, leverages AI-assisted development tools, and helps guide other engineers through technical excellence. Rather than acting as a project manager or scrum manager, this individual leads by example through software delivery, system design, and engineering craftsmanship. The position combines full-stack development, cloud architecture, product thinking, and technical mentorship to drive meaningful business outcomes. The successful candidate will work across responsive React applications, Python-based services, cloud-native platforms, databases, APIs, and AI-enabled solutions while collaborating closely with product stakeholders. This role requires a strong balance of software engineering expertise, product intuition, and hands-on leadership, with a focus on accelerating delivery, improving engineering quality, validating technical decisions, and shaping product direction through practical execution. Candidates should be comfortable driving features from concept through production deployment while mentoring team members, influencing engineering best practices, and ensuring scalable, reliable, and maintainable solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as a primary hands-on builder within an autonomous engineering team, delivering features from design through production deployment.
  • Design, build, and maintain full-stack solutions including React frontends, backend services, APIs, databases, and cloud-native systems.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate prototyping, development, testing, and delivery.
  • Write, review, and maintain high-quality, resilient, scalable, and maintainable code.
  • Partner with product managers and domain experts to analyze user journeys and identify high-impact technical solutions.
  • Design and execute technical experiments, prototypes, and proof-of-concepts to validate product hypotheses.
  • Focus on measurable product outcomes and challenge assumptions throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Design modular architectures, scalable systems, and clean API contracts for enterprise applications.
  • Make effective build-versus-configure-versus-orchestrate technology decisions.
  • Develop reusable architectural patterns, UI components, and shared services to improve engineering efficiency.
  • Serve as a technical reviewer and validation point for complex codebases and AI-generated solutions.
  • Identify and address security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, correctness issues, and architectural risks.
  • Define and champion automated testing practices, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
  • Support CI/CD governance, observability, and modern software delivery practices.
  • Mentor and guide entry-level and fellow engineers through coaching, pair programming, code reviews, and architectural discussions.
  • Drive technical discovery, architecture planning, and feature delivery from concept through production.
  • Establish engineering standards and contribute to continuous improvement of development processes and team effectiveness.
  • Influence product direction through technical leadership, software craftsmanship, and hands-on execution.
