About the company

Our client is a technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own product work from the first customer problem through shipped software, spanning interfaces, services, data and infrastructure. The role combines hands-on building with deciding what to build, and shaping how the product engineering function works from its earliest days.

What you'll do

- Deliver whole products, from the user interface down through service layers, data design and deployment.

- Speak directly with end users and review support conversations and usage data to find where they get stuck.

- Turn loosely defined problems into shipped products, choosing what to build as well as how to build it.

- Prototype quickly and refine the experience from first sign-up through production use.

- Take part in shaping how the engineering group works and which design conventions it follows from the start.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 0 to 7 years of experience.

- Experience owning projects from 0 to 1, taking a customer problem through to shipped software.

- Engineering experience at a fast-growing startup.

- Hands-on experience across the whole stack, from user-facing code to server components, data stores and asynchronous processing.

- Strong product and design instincts with a high degree of ownership.

Bonus points

- Experience as a founding or early member of a startup.
