Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE A well-funded fintech startup is looking for a Product Engineer to help build financial products that optimize taxes, bridge paychecks, and build credit for consumers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build product features end-to-end, including domain models, business logic, and API integrations. - Practice a data-driven, incremental approach to product development, shipping toward bold milestones. - Leverage robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure — using SQL and other analysis tools — to evaluate product and system performance. - Test and debug complex state machines in an event-driven, pub/sub backend to ensure a seamless user experience. - Ship to production daily via a rapid CI/CD process, owning implementations end-to-end and responding to production incidents as needed. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves: - Experience with Go (Golang) deployed on GCP. - Direct consumer product experience — you've built for end consumers, not exclusively B2B. - Proficiency in designing and consuming RESTful APIs, including authentication/authorization patterns and rate limiting. - Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL/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. - Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders. - Strong CS fundamentals. Nice to have: - Background at a startup (preferred over Big Tech, though Big Tech experience is welcome). - Experience in fintech or financial services. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: $120,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience. - Visa sponsorship is available. LOCATION This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates should be prepared to work from the office.
