## 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. 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.

### 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.

- Hands-on experience with **CI/CD pipelines**, version control, automated testing, and code review processes.

- Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.

- Strong CS fundamentals.

- Background at a startup (preferred over Big Tech, though Big Tech experience is welcome).

- Experience in fintech or financial services.
