Product Engineer (Software Engineer)

### 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.
