Product Engineer (Software Engineer)

Job Description

### About the Role

Join a fast-growing consumer fintech company building financial products that help everyday people optimize taxes, bridge paychecks, and build credit --- all in one app. As a **Product Engineer**, you'll work end-to-end across the stack, collaborating closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to ship high-impact features for a growing base of paying users who depend on the platform for their financial wellbeing.

This is a hands-on, ownership-heavy role best suited for engineers who thrive in fast-moving startup environments and care deeply about the real-world impact of their work on consumers.

### What You'll Do

* Build product features end-to-end: domain models, business logic, and API integrations that make the product just work for customers.

* Drive deployment and iteration using a dynamic, data-driven approach --- shipping well-engineered, incremental releases toward bold product milestones.

* Leverage robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure; regularly use SQL and analysis tools to evaluate product and system performance.

* Debug complex state machines in an event-driven backend that makes heavy use of pub/sub, ensuring a seamless experience for all users.

* Ship to production daily through a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed.

### What We're Looking For

**Must-haves (dealbreakers):**

* Hands-on experience with **Go (Golang)** deployed on **Google Cloud Platform (GCP)**.

* Direct **consumer product experience** --- you've built products for end-consumers, not exclusively B2B.

**Required skills \& experience:**

* Proficiency in designing and consuming **RESTful APIs**, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting.

* Strong experience with **relational databases** (PostgreSQL / MySQL), including data modeling and query optimization.

* Hands-on experience with **CI/CD pipelines**, version control, automated testing, and code review processes.

* Experience with **event-driven architectures** and message queues (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub) for scalable data pipelines.

* Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

* Startup background preferred; open to candidates from Big Tech who are genuinely excited about the startup environment.

* Strong computer science fundamentals.

**Nice to have:**

* 2--9 years of relevant software engineering experience.

* Background in fintech, payments, or financial services.

### Compensation \& Benefits

* **Salary:** $120,000 -- $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience.

* Visa sponsorship is available.

### Location

* **On-site** in **San Francisco, CA** (primary). Candidates in Seattle, WA may also be considered.

* This is not a remote role.
