Position Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Product Engineer—a single, broad role that combines domain understanding, technical fluency, and architectural judgment, leveraging AI tools to deliver end-to-end across the stack. Product Engineers own features from concept through production: shaping requirements with business partners, designing the architecture, building the UI and backend, and integrating data and services.
This isn’t a traditional “full-stack developer” role. It’s a role for engineers who want to own outcomes, not just tickets—who can sit with a business user, understand the problem, make sound architectural decisions, and deliver a working solution that’s production-ready and maintainable.
What You’ll Do
- Own features end-to-end: from discovery and requirements shaping through architecture, implementation, testing, and production deployment.
- Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand workflows, pain points, and desired outcomes—then translate that into well-scoped, deliverable solutions.
- Make sound architectural decisions: choose the right patterns, data models, and integration approaches based on business context and technical tradeoffs.
- Build across the stack: backend services (Java/Spring), frontend components (Vue.js), API contracts, and data integrations.
- Leverage modern AI development tools (Claude Code, MCP, LLM APIs) to accelerate delivery—prototyping, code generation, analysis, and testing—while maintaining strong engineering judgment and validation.
- Contribute to platform quality: code reviews, testing discipline, observability, and documentation where it adds leverage.
- Mentor mid-level engineers through design conversations, pairing, and code review—raising the team’s ability to deliver independently.
- Navigate ambiguity: make pragmatic decisions with incomplete information and adjust course as understanding deepens.
What We’re Looking For
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated ability to deliver features end-to-end across backend and frontend.
- Strong proficiency in Python and Java, with sound architectural instincts (when to build vs. reuse, how to decompose services, when to simplify).
- Fluency with modern AI development tools (Claude Code, MCP servers, LLM APIs) and an ability to use them productively while maintaining quality and correctness.
- Experience working directly with business stakeholders—not just taking tickets, but shaping requirements and validating solutions.
- The business context to make the right tradeoffs: you understand that technical decisions have business consequences and vice versa.
- Strong communication skills: you can explain technical decisions to non-technical partners and advocate for engineering quality without creating friction.
- A builder’s mindset: you prefer shipping working software over perfecting designs, while maintaining the quality bar for production systems.
- Experience in financial services, investment management
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Vue.js or a modern frontend framework (React acceptable if you can ramp quickly on Vue).
- Experience with event-driven architecture, workflow orchestration, or data pipeline design.
- A track record of building internal tools or platforms that make other teams more productive.
