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.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience.

• Visa sponsorship is available.
