About The Position

We’re seeking a Mid-Senior Product Engineer to join the core team of YardOS, a greenfield product built for operational excellence in complex, compliance-driven environments. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape a modern, AI-enhanced platform from its earliest stages. This is an engineering-first role. You’ll own the complete cycle, understanding customer problems, designing solutions, building features, and measuring impact. This is not a role where you execute handed-down specs—you’ll drive what gets built and why.

Requirements

Extensive professional software engineering experience (or equivalent depth)
Strong full-stack skills with TypeScript (Vue, React, or Svelte + Node.js)
Solid database experience (PostgreSQL or similar: schema design, queries, optimization)
Experience building and shipping REST APIs
Comfortable with Docker, CI/CD, and cloud deployment (AWS preferred)
Familiarity with offline-first patterns, event-driven architectures, or distributed systems
Experience owning features from conception through post-launch iteration
Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Experience translating business needs into technical solutions
Familiarity with AI tools to improve development velocity and impact
Track record of shipping features that users actually adopt
Experience working closely with product managers, designers, or end-users
Experience in fast-moving or early-stage environments where you wore multiple hats

Nice To Haves

Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy industries (healthcare, finance, logistics)
Experience with usability testing or product discovery
Familiarity with PowerSync, ElectricSQL, or similar offline sync technologies
Knowledge of LangChain, LangGraph, or AI agent frameworks
Experience with CQRS, event sourcing, or domain-driven design
Exposure to Keycloak, enterprise authentication systems, or multi-tenancy patterns
Understanding of job queues (Graphile Worker, BullMQ) or vector databases (pgvector)

Responsibilities

Understand user workflows, identify pain points, and determine what to build (not just how to build it)
Work directly with stakeholders and end-users to validate assumptions, gather requirements, and prioritize ruthlessly
Ship complete solutions end-to-end and own the full feature lifecycle
Build across the full stack (Vue.js frontend, Node.js backend, PostgreSQL database)
Design pragmatic solutions, balancing technical quality with speed to market
Use AI development tools to accelerate iteration and focus on high-impact work
Integrate AI capabilities into the product to improve user workflows
Define success metrics, instrument features, analyze usage data, and continuously improve
Shape product direction, advocate for users, and push back when priorities don’t align with user value
Guide architectural decisions
Strengthen reliability in high-stakes domains
Contribute to a thoughtful, healthy engineering culture
