Senior / Staff Product Engineer

Hands-on full-stack engineer role building AI-driven features and a realtime collaborative editor for a remote-first product development platform, targeting candidates in the US and Europe.

The role

This is an individual-contributor product engineering role at a fast-growing planning and shipping tool used by tens of thousands of companies. The engineer works directly with founders and designers, owning features from concept through release across a TypeScript codebase. The team is small and generalist, so the position carries significant autonomy and end-to-end responsibility.

What you would do

  • Partner closely with leadership and design to turn early concepts into working features
  • Add AI-driven capabilities into the product's core
  • Improve the shared real-time editor that runs across internal tools
  • Ship user-facing functionality with polished, scalable interface components
  • Push application speed and responsiveness forward continually
  • Help tune the team's engineering workflow to sustain fast delivery

What they asked for

  • Five or more years building customer-facing software at a quality-focused company
  • Solid command of React and TypeScript with working knowledge of browser, server, API, and database layers
  • Record of delivering complex features with noticeable product impact, not only incremental fixes
  • Strong product instincts around usability, performance, and visual finish, and willingness to challenge weak decisions
  • Able to define the problem space independently without relying on heavy product management
  • Self-directed owner who carries work from idea to release
  • Productive in a distributed, asynchronous, small-team setting
  • Prior work at a startup or a team with a high engineering standard

Nice to have

  • Hands-on familiarity with the team's agentic workflow, real-time sync, or GraphQL tooling
  • Interest in working close to performance and scale problems
