JOB-1983

  • Permanent
  • Remote

A fast-moving startup modernizing software for local governments is hiring a product engineer who treats outcomes as their own, from conversations with customers through shipping AI-enabled features. The environment offers wide autonomy, and progress depends on self-direction rather than instructions.

On the job

  • Take full ownership of customer deliverables, scoping, building and refining features with little supervision
  • Talk directly with public-sector customers to grasp their needs and turn what you learn into product solutions, rather than simply building what is requested
  • Ship full-stack features covering the frontend, backend and AI-driven tooling
  • Go on location with customers to refine quickly and confirm the product fits real needs
  • Work in a forward-deployed style, dropping into unfamiliar environments and figuring them out independently

What helps

  • Three or more years building across the stack with a product-first mindset (TypeScript, React, Node, Python and PostgreSQL)
  • Meaningful time at smaller, quickly growing companies rather than only big tech
  • Comfortable working with customers directly and converting their needs into decisions
  • Self-starter who needs neither formal onboarding nor detailed specifications
  • Concise, articulate communicator at ease with ambiguity

Remote for candidates based in Canada. Visa sponsorship and transfers are not available.
