Product Engineer (Software Engineer)
About the Role
Join a growing consumer fintech company building mobile-first financial tools that help everyday users manage cash flow, access earned wages early, and build credit — all without interest or traditional credit checks. As a Product Engineer, you'll work end-to-end across the stack to ship features that have a direct, meaningful impact on users' financial wellbeing. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business leaders in a fast-moving, startup environment.
What You'll Do
• Build product features end-to-end — domain models, business logic, and API integrations — that make the product work seamlessly for consumers.
• Drive a data-driven, incremental release process toward bold product milestones.
• Use SQL and analytics tooling to evaluate product and system performance against robust data pipelines and infrastructure.
• Test and debug complex state machines in an event-driven, pub/sub-based backend to ensure a seamless user experience.
• Ship to production daily via a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
• 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.
• Proficiency 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 — able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
• Preference for candidates with startup experience (Big Tech backgrounds also considered).
Nice to have:
• Strong CS fundamentals.
• 2–9 years of overall software engineering experience.
Compensation & Benefits
• Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
• Visa sponsorship available.
