About the Role

A well-funded fintech startup is looking for a Product Engineer to help build financial products that optimize taxes, bridge paychecks, and build credit for consumers. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to ship high-impact features for a growing base of paying users — directly contributing to their financial wellbeing.

What You'll Do

  • Build product features end-to-end, including domain models, business logic, and API integrations.

  • Practice a data-driven, incremental approach to product development, shipping toward bold milestones.

  • Leverage robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure — using SQL and other analysis tools — to evaluate product and system performance.

  • Test and debug complex state machines in an event-driven, pub/sub backend to ensure a seamless user experience.

  • Ship to production daily via a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • Experience with Go (Golang) deployed on GCP.

  • Direct consumer product experience — you've built for end consumers, not exclusively B2B.

  • Proficiency in designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting.

  • 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 with event-driven architectures and message queues (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub) for scalable data pipelines.

  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

  • Strong CS fundamentals.

Nice to have:

  • Background at a startup (preferred over Big Tech, though Big Tech experience is welcome).

  • Experience in fintech or financial services.

Compensation & Benefits

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

  • Visa sponsorship is available.
