Product Engineer (Software Engineer)

Department: Engineering

Location: San Francisco

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

This is a full-stack product engineering role at a consumer fintech company helping everyday people manage cash flow, access earned wages early, and build credit. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to ship high-impact features directly improving users' financial wellbeing.

What You'll Do

• Build product features end-to-end, including domain models, business logic, and API integrations.

• Drive deployment and iteration using a data-driven, incremental approach toward bold product milestones.

• Use SQL and analytics tools to evaluate product and system performance regularly.

• Test and debug complex state machines in an event-driven backend that relies heavily on pub/sub messaging.

• Ship to production daily through a rapid CI/CD pipeline, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience building backend features end-to-end for production systems.

• Proficiency designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication, authorization patterns, and rate limiting.

• Experience with event-driven architectures and message queues such as Kafka, Pub/Sub, or similar.

• 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 developing consumer-facing products (not exclusively B2B).

• Experience debugging complex state machines in event-driven systems.

• Strong computer science fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, and system design.

• Meaningful experience at an early-stage startup or high-growth environment (not exclusively large enterprise or Big Tech).

• Experience with Go (golang) deployed on GCP is a plus.

• Must be based in, or willing to relocate to, San Francisco or Seattle for in-person work.
