Growth/Product Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: New York

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

A fast-growing, Y Combinator-backed developer infrastructure startup in the cloud PaaS space is looking for a Growth/Product Engineer to elevate the usability, UX, and visual polish of their platform. You'll join a small, product-focused engineering team, help define the product's design language, and have a direct hand in shaping the direction of the product itself.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role at a Series A company where great UX and a consistent design system directly move the needle on customer experience and engineering velocity. All experience levels are welcome — including new grads — and visa sponsorship is available.

What You'll Do

• Take platform usability and UX/visual polish to the next level across the entire product.

• Participate in all feature discussions and help shape the trajectory of the product.

• Improve the UI/UX and organization of the core dashboard experience.

• Implement a design system and define the platform's visual language.

• Raise the standard for code quality and contribute to engineering culture.

• Build and maintain UI using React, styled-components, and TypeScript.

• Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams working with Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs, Postgres, and Redis.

• Work with cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP as needed.

• Occasionally operate in a PM-like capacity to drive product vision through to execution.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• Proven experience implementing a design system and establishing a consistent visual language for a product.

• Complete fluency in React, TypeScript, and CSS in production frontend applications.

• Demonstrated ability to ship features at high velocity in a fast-moving, iterative startup environment.

• Experience delivering frontend features end-to-end in production.

• Strong design sensibility with a sharp eye for UX and visual detail.

• Comfortable wearing multiple hats and collaborating closely across product and engineering.

Nice-to-haves:

• Exposure to full-stack or backend integration with Go, Kubernetes/Helm, Postgres, Redis.

• Experience with styled-components in React.

• Familiarity with AWS or GCP cloud platforms.

• Experience building or contributing to design system tooling and component libraries.

You'll thrive here if you:

• Value rapid learning and continuous improvement.

• Enjoy having real product ownership and influencing direction — not just executing tickets.

• Adapt quickly to shifting priorities and can ship at a daily cadence.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $100,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience.

• Visa sponsorship available.

• Open to all experience levels, including new graduates.
