Product Engineer (Software Engineer)

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.
