The Role
We’re looking for a Product Engineer to help us build and scale our core product. You’ll work closely with our Founders and the rest of the Engineering team to ship impactful features and improve performance across the stack.

By 90 Days
- Ship product updates daily/weekly with a strong focus on quality.
- Collaborate closely with the team and our customers to shape the future of the product.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in full-stack development, ideally with startups or fast-moving teams.
- Strong expertise in Next.js, React, and Tailwind for frontend development.
- Familiarity in Python for backend/API development.
- Familiarity with Terraform, Kubernetes (K8s), and Postgres for infrastructure and data management.
- Experience optimizing web performance and improving frontend UX.
- A bias for action: You ship fast and iterate based on feedback.
- Strong product and design sense: You think beyond the code and care about delivering an exceptional user experience.
- Extreme ownership: You're excited to make a mark and you make sure balls don't get dropped.
Why Join Us?
- Impact: Your work will directly shape the product and the future of the company.
- Growth: High ownership, deep collaboration with company and technical leadership.
- Speed: We move fast, ship often, and value autonomy.
- Culture: Our team is kind, collaborative, inquisitive, and inclusive – and we want to keep it that way. We have high standards for quality and ethics, and help each other learn in order to reach our objectives. We think technology is best built by teams with a diversity of background, thought, and experience.
👒 Every team member is a human first, and we strive to create a culture and environment that supports your career goals and respects all of the hats you wear in life, not just the ones that earn you a paycheck.
Our Team
We were founded in 2023 by SaaS and data experts: Josh (CEO) lead Chartbeat as CTO to $70M+ ARR and exit; David (CTO) lead Cortico (MIT spinoff) from 0->1 as COO.
