About the job
A consumer startup running a two-sided platform where creators publish interactive experiences and players enjoy them is hiring a product engineer. The team is small, moves quickly with little bureaucracy, and works together in the office. Most of the work sits on the frontend.
Your focus
Ship end-to-end user flows on both web and mobile using TypeScript, React and React Native, from early prototype to release
Claim features from a team-wide queue and see them through scoping, coding, launch and measurement
Collaborate with data, recommendation and product growth colleagues to find friction affecting each side of the marketplace, creators as well as players, and lift retention
Improve the central frontend structure, spanning the content feed and creator tooling, and occasionally work on the backend
Run large-audience A/B experiments from hypothesis through design, then interpret outcomes using SQL, Amplitude or Mixpanel
Adopt and create AI agent tooling to automate workflows and surface insights
What you bring
Two to four years of shipping products for consumers using React or React Native
A solid grounding in CS basics such as data structures, algorithms and efficient runtimes
Shipped work that measurably improved how many users activate, stay engaged and return
Comfort acting as a product owner who communicates quickly and clearly
Experience at a top product-driven company, a consumer social product or a marketplace connecting two groups of users; former founders are welcome
A degree in computer science from a strong program
On-site in the South Bay Area (Silicon Valley) or the San Francisco Bay Area. Visa transfers considered.
