About The Position

Join a Series A fintech startup on a mission to help everyday consumers better manage their financial future. As a Product Engineer, you'll build features end-to-end that optimize taxes, bridge paychecks, and build credit — directly improving the financial wellbeing of a growing base of paying users. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to ship high-impact work in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.

Requirements

Hands-on experience with Go (Golang) deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Proficiency in designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting.
Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or 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.
Strong CS fundamentals.
Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Build product features end-to-end, including domain models, business logic, and API integrations.
Drive deployment and iteration through data-driven, incremental releases toward bold product milestones.
Leverage robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure — using SQL and other tools — to evaluate product and system performance.
Debug complex state machines in an event-driven backend using pub/sub to ensure a seamless consumer experience.
Ship to production daily via a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed.
