About The Position

We're hiring a Senior Product Engineer to own and accelerate the B2B Dashboard for a 3-month contract. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for an engineer who thinks beyond implementation. You'll work across the full product stack — from backend services and APIs to frontend experiences — while making strong product and UI/UX decisions along the way. You won't simply receive tickets and execute them. You'll work closely with stakeholders to understand the problem, shape the solution, and ship polished, production-ready experiences.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Senior Product Engineer, Senior Full-stack Engineer, or equivalent, with strong end-to-end product ownership.
• Strong backend engineering experience with Go and/or Python.
• Strong frontend engineering experience with Vue.js or a comparable modern frontend framework, with the ability to work effectively in an existing Vue codebase.
• Strong product and UI/UX sense, with demonstrated ability to build intuitive and polished user experiences.
• Experience turning ambiguous business or user requirements into practical product solutions.
• Hands-on, fluent use of AI development tools as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow.
• Strong judgment around code quality, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Ability to work independently and deliver meaningful product improvements within a 3-month contract period.

Nice To Haves

• This role is defined by seniority, autonomy, and product ownership. You should be comfortable operating with incomplete requirements, making decisions independently, and taking a feature from problem definition through production.
• Strong product sense. You think in terms of users and outcomes, not just technical requirements. You can challenge an initial request when there is a better product solution.
• Strong UI/UX instincts. You care deeply about how a product feels and works. You can evaluate user flows, identify usability issues, and build intuitive interfaces without needing every interaction specified for you.
• Senior full-stack engineering capability. You are comfortable moving between backend and frontend and can independently deliver production-grade features across the stack.
• AI-native mindset. AI tooling is a core part of how you work. You use it to move faster, learn unfamiliar systems, improve code quality, and increase your development leverage.
• High autonomy. You unblock yourself, make pragmatic trade-offs, and take ownership of the quality of what you ship.
• Strong communication. You can work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, clarify ambiguity, and communicate technical and product trade-offs clearly.

Responsibilities

• Own the B2B Dashboard end-to-end. Build and improve core experiences across the ELSA B2B Dashboard, owning both engineering execution and product quality.
• Drive full-stack product development. Work across Go and Python on the backend and Vue on the frontend, building reliable APIs, business logic, and user-facing experiences.
• Make product decisions with autonomy. Translate business and customer needs into practical product solutions. Scope work, identify trade-offs, and make sound decisions about what to build and how it should work.
• Own UI/UX quality. Take responsibility for the user experience, not just the code. Think carefully about information architecture, interaction patterns, usability, and visual consistency.
• Work AI-natively. Use AI coding and development tools as a core part of your workflow to understand unfamiliar codebases, accelerate implementation, debug issues, and ship high-quality work quickly.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work directly with product, business, design, and engineering stakeholders. Bring structure to ambiguous requirements and turn them into shipped product.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package.
• Collaborative, international team culture.
• High-impact ownership: Opportunity to directly shape and improve a core B2B product.
• Global exposure: Work with a distributed team and stakeholders across multiple markets.
• Startup impact: Opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, well-funded Silicon Valley startup with global impact.
