Full-Stack Product Engineer (Early-Stage Startup)

About the Role

We’re hiring one of our first engineers to take full ownership of a core product — a recruiter-facing dashboard used as a CRM to manage roles, candidates, pipelines, and payouts.

This is a highly product-focused role. You’ll work directly with the founder, interact closely with users (recruiters), and play a key role in shaping both what we build and how we build it.

If you enjoy solving real user problems, iterating quickly, and owning systems end-to-end, this role is a strong fit.

What You’ll Do

Core Product (Primary Focus)

• Design and build end-to-end product features for the recruiter dashboard
• Improve existing user flows to reduce friction and enhance usability
• Translate real user workflows into intuitive product experiences
• Redesign key features such as candidate submissions, role discovery, and pipeline tracking
• Build tools that make recruiters significantly more efficient in managing their work

Product & UX Collaboration

• Work closely with the founder and team to define product direction
• Engage directly with users to understand needs and gather feedback
• Collaborate with design to deliver polished, high-quality experiences
• Focus on detail and usability to ensure the product feels fast and intuitive

Full-Stack Development

• Own development across frontend and backend systems
• Build and maintain scalable, reliable application architecture
• Rapidly iterate on features based on feedback and usage data

Growth & Product Quality

• Contribute to initiatives across signup, activation, engagement, and retention
• Build features such as dashboards, incentives, and engagement tools
• Maintain high standards for performance, reliability, and product quality

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 4+ years of experience in full-stack software development
• Strong experience building products end-to-end (frontend + backend)
• Proficiency in modern web technologies (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, React, APIs)
• A strong product mindset — you care about users, not just code
• Ability to work in fast-paced, early-stage environments with minimal structure
• High attention to detail in product design and user experience

Preferred

• Experience working in early-stage or high-growth startups
• Experience building dashboards, CRMs, or internal tools
• Familiarity with user workflows in recruiting or similar domains
• Experience contributing to product decisions, not just execution

Why Join

• Work directly with the founder and have real ownership from day one
• Build a core product used daily by real users
• High impact role with strong growth potential as the company scales
• Opportunity to shape product direction, not just implement features

Role Breakdown

• 70% Core product development (dashboard, UX, feature iteration)
• 20% Internal tools and supporting features
• 10% Growth-focused engineering (activation, retention, billing)
