Courtyard Inc.

86d • Remote

About The Position

We are actively recruiting a Staff Product Engineer to help revolutionize the way people discover the things they love to collect. At Courtyard.io, you’ll play a critical role in building the product hundreds of thousands of users use to buy, sell, and trade. You will join a lean and experienced remote-first team of engineers that prioritizes technical ingenuity, authentic communication, and a get-it-done attitude. You'll own roadmap work from idea to launch, working alongside product, design, leadership, and data to shape what we build, bringing technical judgment into those discussions and helping the team make the right calls. From there you'll write the Go services and Postgres schemas, build the Next.js or React Native UI, and track what users do once it ships. The stack is Go, Postgres, and Terraform on the backend; Next.js and React Native on the frontend. At Staff level, you'll also shape the technical strategy, contribute to the engineering standards to which we hold ourselves, and help move hard problems forward when they stall.
