Product Engineer

Workhelix • San Francisco, CA

7d • $115,000 - $150,000

About The Position

Workhelix is seeking a Product Engineer to join their team and help scale the company reliably as it grows. This role is crucial for ensuring the team's ability to build great new features is not compromised by increased customer load. The Product Engineer will strengthen issue detection and resolution processes and build infrastructure to maintain high quality as the company scales. The role involves working across the FastAPI (Python) / Postgres / React stack, encompassing tasks from schema design to UI behavior and CI pipelines. It is a high-trust, high-autonomy position offering significant ownership early in one's career.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional full-stack engineering experience
• Comfort with Python and React strongly preferred, but open to strong candidates from other OOP backgrounds
• Real SQL fluency, including understanding schema design, and ability to reason about ingestion to transformation to output pipelines, and the difference between a clean and a messy data model
• A systems mindset; naturally zoom out and notice when something upstream or downstream of your own work is drifting out of sync
• A bias toward pragmatic delivery: scope before diving in, break work into shippable increments, and ship at the pace a fast-moving company requires without over-engineering
• Genuine product and user judgment; care about the user experience and question tickets that look wrong rather than build them as written
• Low ego, high standards; care more about the quality of the outcome than who gets credit, and take feedback in review without getting defensive
• Strong collaborative instincts and async communication; loop people in early, and write clearly in Slack, PRs, and EOD updates
• Genuine intellectual curiosity; energized rather than destabilized when priorities shift, and go deep on problems because you can't help it

Responsibilities

• Triage and resolve incoming customer bugs across single-tenant staging and production environments
• Work alongside the team to design and build new features and capabilities on our main product
• Design and build automated test suites that scale across customer environments without becoming their own maintenance burden
• Work across the full stack (Python/FastAPI backend, Postgres, React frontend) to understand and fix issues at their root cause, not just their symptom

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package and benefits
• Chance to learn and collaborate with some of the most famous researchers in the AI and digital economy space: Andrew Ng, Erik Brynjolfsson, Andy McAfee, and Daniel Rock
• The unique opportunity to help build a company, culture, and products from the ground up with a team that values healthy working practices
• A high-trust, high-autonomy work environment
• Health Benefits
