Product Engineer – Build Financial Products

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. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business leaders to ship high‑impact features for a growing base of paying users — directly contributing to their financial wellbeing.

Key responsibilities

• 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.

Required profile

• 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 computer‑science fundamentals.
