Product Engineer (Consumer, Design heavy)

We're seeking a founder-minded product engineer to own the complete lifecycle of consumer products—from identifying opportunities through shipping polished experiences to real users. You'll operate at the intersection of product strategy, design, and full-stack engineering, making decisions about what to build, scoping the smallest complete version, and taking responsibility for whether users find it valuable.

What You'll Do

• Define product positioning, scope features, and determine the minimal viable version for rapid iteration.
• Design user experiences and interfaces, including onboarding flows and interface copy, that drive adoption and retention.
• Build reliable frontend and backend systems using TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js.
• Implement core infrastructure including APIs, data models, authentication, and payment systems.
• Set up analytics, run experiments, and monitor production to measure what matters.
• Ship polished MVPs or substantial iterations in 3–7 days while maintaining quality.
• Debug production issues, iterate based on user feedback, and own retention and engagement metrics.

What We're Looking For

• Proven ability to ship consumer products end-to-end, from concept to production.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js.
• Experience designing and building APIs, SQL databases, and data models.
• Hands-on knowledge of authentication, payments, subscriptions, and deployment.
• Familiarity with product analytics tools and experimentation frameworks.
• Comfort using AI development tools while maintaining architectural understanding and code quality.
• Background in consumer products, social apps, communication tools, or cross-platform development is valuable.
• Founder mentality: you think strategically about user problems and take ownership of outcomes.
