Product Engineer

About the Role

We’re hiring a Product Engineer to help build and shape the next generation of workflows, automation, and AI-powered experiences at Just Appraised.

This is a high-ownership role for engineers who care deeply about users, product quality, and shipping impactful software quickly. You’ll work across the stack, partner directly with customers and internal stakeholders, and help define what we build - not just how we build it.

We’re intentionally targeting engineers who thrive in fast-moving environments and have experience operating in scaling companies, where ambiguity, speed, and ownership are part of daily work.

Build and ship end-to-end product features across frontend, backend, and internal tooling

Work closely with Customers and internal stakeholders to define product features, build prototypes and solutions end to end.

Talk directly with users and government stakeholders to understand workflows and pain points

Own projects from discovery through launch and iteration

Design scalable systems, APIs, workflows, and data models

Rapidly prototype AI-enabled features and operational tooling

Improve developer experience, product reliability, and system performance

What We’re Looking For

4+ years of software engineering experience combined with product ownership

Experience working with customers and stakeholders to identify product vision

Strong full-stack development experience with modern web technologies

Experience working in high-ownership startup or growth-stage environments

Product mindset : you think about customer outcomes, usability, and business impact

Ability to move quickly with good judgment and minimal oversight

Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating cross-functionally

Experience balancing speed with maintainable engineering practices

Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping create structure where needed

What Success Looks Like

You ship meaningful product improvements quickly and thoughtfully

Customers love the workflows and tools you help create

You proactively identify opportunities instead of waiting for direction

You raise the quality bar for both product thinking and engineering execution

You become a trusted partner across Engineering, Product, and Customer teams
