Senior Engineer, Revenue Systems
Own a profitable engine at a scale most builders never touch. Product.ai is the verified truth layer for shopping — what's actually true about a product, including when not to buy. Profitable. Bootstrapped. No outside investors. No board. 20 people outbuilding companies 10× our size.
About the role
This role exists to take advantage of a profitable revenue engine inside the company, which funds everything else we build. It's SimplyCodes, the largest independent coupon-verification platform on the internet. A few senior engineers and the founder keep it running, each stretched thin; it has far more upside than its owners have hours.
Responsibilities
- Model attribution that survives a hostile browser, ensuring every dollar traces back to one fragile artifact — a click ID that has to survive an async gap of hours to months, across dozens of affiliate networks that each name and format it differently.
- Turn messy feeds of commission truth from dozens of affiliate-network APIs into one correct revenue picture — append, reconcile, rank.
- Ensure fresh pages don't leak ranking, ranking leaks traffic, and traffic is what the whole engine monetizes.
- Compute is large by design — the expensive thing is a redo cycle, not the tokens. Measure against the revenue it moved, not just keep it small.
Requirements
You reason in invariants, failure modes, and tradeoffs, tie each to the dollar it moves, and can read a system you've never seen well enough to sketch where it leaks revenue the same day. You can do this job by hand and prove it — that's what lets you direct agents and trust the result.
Qualifications
- Built attribution, fraud-scoring, ad-targeting, or search and marketplace systems at scale.
