Full Job Description
The Role

We are hiring a Senior Product Design Engineer to take products 0 → 1 → scale.

This is a true senior, high-agency role for someone who is full-stack, design-oriented, and data-driven - with strong startup/founder-type instincts. You will work directly with internal users, define what to build, ship quickly, and own quality in production.
What You'll Work On
0 → 1 Product Building
  • Turn ambiguous problems into shipped product: concept → prototype → production.
  • Own scope, trade-offs, and delivery - not just implementation.
Full-Stack Execution
  • Build end-to-end workflows across frontend + backend.
  • Create product primitives that are durable, simple, and fast to iterate on.
Design + Product Craft
  • Sweat UX details: interaction quality, edge cases, and reliability.
  • Partner closely with design - and bring strong product taste yourself.
Data-Driven Iteration
  • Define success metrics and instrumentation.
  • Use data to drive prioritization, quality, and performance decisions.
Who You Are
Required Background
  • 7+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent impact), with meaningful full-stack ownership.
  • Proven track record shipping products 0 → 1 and scaling them in production.
  • Strong product chops: you can reason about UX, workflows, and trade-offs.
  • High agency: you move without waiting for perfect specs.

Strong Signals
  • Early-stage startup or founder experience with end-to-end product ownership.
  • You can write clean systems and also care deeply about UX.
  • You ship, measure, and iterate relentlessly.
Why This Role
  • Build the product layer that turns complex operations and petabyte-scale data into simple, reliable workflows.
  • High ownership, fast iteration, and direct impact across the company.
