Full Job Description
Title: Product Founding Engineer

Position Overview: You're the technical founder inside a funded business unit. You co-own the product along with a general manager and designer, and are responsible for bringing the product to life - from architecture to implementation, from requirements to delivery. You lead by doing. This is a rare role: equal parts product thinker, leader, and builder . You will make key decisions across people, product, and technology. Like any founder, your upside grows with the business; as your product gains revenue traction, salary and equity increase to reflect that success.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the technical vision and architecture for the business unit - balancing speed, quality, and flexibility
  • Partner tightly with the GM and designer to shape the product roadmap, contribute to strategy, and define MVPs and iterations
  • Write production code daily (frontend, backend, systems - whatever it takes)
  • Help recruit and mentor high-caliber engineers and collaborate cross-functionally with other technical leaders
  • Build in the open with the broader company: share learnings, reusable tools, and help shape the engineering culture
  • Make pragmatic tradeoffs for rapid prototyping and long-term extensibility
  • Solve ambiguous problems with product and technical ingenuity
  • Share tools, patterns, and learnings with the rest of Redo as we scale

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally including full-stack web and system design work
  • Experience owning a product or major feature end-to-end - ideally from 01
  • Strong product sensibility: understanding users and designing for outcomes, not just requirements
  • Bias toward action and comfort with ambiguity; thrives in roles without pre-defined playbooks
  • Leverage with modern AI tools to ship quickly
  • Leadership skills: mentoring, collaboration, and performance management
  • Communicates clearly and has a founder-like mindset: defaults to ownership, not waiting

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, or AWS.
  • Experience with Shopify, Klaviyo, ShipStation, or other e-commerce vendors.

Redo benefits and perks:

  • Working with a dynamic and innovative team in the fast-growing e-commerce industry.
  • On-site gym with showers, pickleball, and basketball.
  • Flexible PTO & company holidays.
  • Monthly allowance for purchases from e-commerce stores to support both existing and potential customers.
  • Company HSA contributions.
  • Weekly lunches & fully stocked break room.
  • $100/month babysitting reimbursement
  • Office is minutes from biking and running trails

This opportunity is 100% in-office in Draper, Utah.
