About the role:

We are hiring a Full-Stack Product Engineer to build, ship, and iterate on our company-investor matchmaking platform and internal apps. You will own features end to end, from problem and spec to code, launch, and measurement. You will also have the opportunity to lead a small team of developers and designers as we scale.

What you will do:

• Own product features from problem to launch. Write specs, design simple flows, implement front end and back end, test, ship, and measure.
• Lead or co-lead a small, cross-functional pod of developers and designers. Set priorities, review work, unblock issues, and ensure on-time delivery.
• Build a fast and reliable platform. Plan data models, APIs, middleware, and services for performance, security, and scaling.
• Ship quickly and iterate based on data and user feedback. Define success metrics, instrument analytics, run experiments, and improve retention and conversion.
• Automate operational workflows into robust internal tools.
• Apply AI where it adds clear product value.
• Establish a tight user feedback loop. Capture insights from users and the team and turn them into improvements.
• Partner with growth on SEO. Ensure architecture, rendering, performance, and metadata support organic traffic goals.
• Maintain quality. Write readable, tested code, review PRs, monitor performance, and resolve production issues.
