Product Engineer

Our client is a seed-stage technology company building an AI-native platform for global trade, customs compliance, and duty recovery. Its software brings fragmented documents, spreadsheets, APIs, and supply-chain data into one system so businesses can identify savings, recover refunds, and stay compliant as trade policy changes. The company has raised $5.4M, serves more than 80 customers, and has grown revenue more than fourfold in the past six months.

About the role

This is a full-stack Product Engineer role on a small, high-caliber team with three hires planned. You will own meaningful parts of the product from problem discovery through production, working directly with the founders and customers to turn messy global-trade workflows into reliable, intuitive software. The company is approaching its next financing stage, making this an opportunity to join with near-founding-team scope and meaningful equity.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship full-stack product features across TypeScript, Node.js, React, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL.
• Ingest, clean, and model complex data from documents, CSVs, external APIs, and supply-chain systems.
• Design product experiences that make compliance-heavy workflows clear and usable.
• Develop agentic AI capabilities for data extraction, reconciliation, classification, and operational decision support.
• Own features end to end, from customer discovery and technical design through deployment and iteration.
• Improve platform reliability, data quality, developer tooling, and engineering practices as the team grows.

Requirements

• 2 to 5 years of full-stack product engineering experience.
• Strong production experience with TypeScript across a Node.js backend and React frontend.
• Solid PostgreSQL and data-modeling fundamentals.
• Experience shipping end-to-end features in a data-heavy or compliance-adjacent product, such as fintech, logistics, or B2B SaaS.
• Experience working with messy integrations, document pipelines, or data-wrangling workflows.
• Experience in a credible engineering culture, ideally at a company that reached Series B or later.
• A computer science degree or a related technical degree.
• Strong product judgment, intellectual curiosity, and comfort operating with ambiguity and ownership.

Nice to have

• Experience with NestJS, Prisma, MikroORM, Relay, BullMQ, Redis, Render, Pulumi, or Nix.
• Experience building AI-assisted workflows in a regulated or operationally complex domain.
• Exposure to customs, global trade, logistics, supply-chain systems, or financial operations.

Location and work model

• Full-time role based in San Francisco, California.
• Hybrid schedule with three days per week in the office.
• Candidates must already be in the San Francisco Bay Area or be willing to relocate.
• The company can consider existing H-1B transfers and TN, J-1, or O-1 visas, but cannot provide new H-1B sponsorship.

Pay

$185,000 to $230,000 base salary.

Benefits

• Meaningful early-stage equity.
• Direct access to the founders and substantial ownership over product and engineering decisions.
• Opportunity to join a fast-growing team ahead of its next financing stage.
