Original job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage SaaS team as a founding product engineer, owning product experiences from the initial problem through launch. You will work directly with merchants and help shape both product decisions and implementation.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Take features from problem definition through production across frontend and backend.
- Speak with customers, review session replays, and use their feedback to understand pain points.
- Make product and workflow decisions, often with substantial ownership of the user experience.
- Build polished interfaces with a high bar for usability and visual craft.
- Maintain a codebase that is clear, durable, and welcoming to future engineers.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Four to eight years of product engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience with TypeScript, React, and Node.js, including ownership of both frontend and backend work.
- A track record of shipping and owning features end to end, from defining the problem to production, without relying on a detailed spec.
- Strong computer science fundamentals, typically demonstrated through a CS degree.
- Experience on teams with high engineering standards and at a growth-stage startup; venture-backed experience is a plus.
- Demonstrated product and interface craft, with examples of thoughtful UI work.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as coding assistants.
- E-commerce or commerce platform experience is a plus.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base salary: $150,000 to $350,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
