Product Engineer (f/m/d)

Note: This role requires engineering experience.

Were looking for an engineer who cares about what theyre building, not just how. Youll own features end-to-end,

ship with a small team and minimal process, and use AI tools as your default way of working. The title says Product

Engineer for a reason youre an engineer first, but you have the instinct to ask why something is being built,

whether its actually working, and what should change. That curiosity isnt a nice-to-have here. Its what separates

this role from a standard engineering position.

If AI tools make you 3x faster at shipping code, we dont expect you to coast at your old output. We expect you to

reinvest that leverage ship more, think deeper about the product, and become a more well-rounded builder. You

wont be joining as a product manager, but the engineers who think this way naturally grow into product ownership

and that path is explicit and encouraged here.

If youve ever built something on your own time because you were genuinely curious a game, a tool, an app,

anything we want to hear about it.

What Youll Do:

Own feature development end-to-end: scoping, building, shipping, iterating.
Maintain and extend existing codebases with a focus on quality and speed.
Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as your primary development workflow the expectation

is that you multiply your own output through these tools.

Flag gaps or ambiguity in requirements before they become problems write lightweight specs when needed.
Read and interpret product metrics to understand how features are actually performing.
Bring technical perspective to product discussions not because its a separate responsibility, but because you
naturally care about the outcome.

Who you are:

24 years of full-stack development experience with shipped products (React Native on the frontend is required & Golang on the backend is preferred).
Genuine, daily fluency with at least one AI coding tool and a track record of using that fluency to actually ship

more, not just code more comfortably.

Product curiosity. You think about whether a feature is working, not just whether its deployed. You have opinions

about what to build next, not just how to build it.

Comfortable working in a small team with minimal process overhead you create your own structure.
Strongly preferred: Experience in gaming, consumer apps, or any product where user retention is the core metric.
Nice to have: Prior exposure to product thinking even informally: owning a feature roadmap, writing a PRD, running a side

project.
