About the Role
Join a growing consumer fintech company on a mission to make personal finance accessible and stress-free. As a Product Engineer, you'll build features end-to-end that help real users optimize their taxes, bridge paychecks, and build credit — directly contributing to their financial wellbeing. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and business leaders in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
What You'll Do
- Build product features end-to-end, including domain models, business logic, and API integrations.
- Drive deployment and iteration using a data-driven, incremental release approach toward ambitious milestones.
- Leverage robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure; write SQL and use analytics tools to evaluate product and system performance regularly.
- Debug complex state machines in an event-driven, pub/sub backend to ensure a seamless user experience.
- Ship to production 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:
- 3+ years building backend features end-to-end for production systems.
- Proficiency designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting.
- Experience with event-driven architectures and message queues (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar).
- Experience debugging complex state machines in event-driven systems.
- 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 writing SQL and using analytics tools to evaluate system and product performance.
- Proven experience building consumer-facing products (not B2B only).
- Strong computer science fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, and system design.
- Excellent cross-functional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with Go (Golang) deployed on GCP.
- Background at early-stage startups or high-growth environments.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
- Visa sponsorship is available.
