Growth/Product Engineer

About the Role A fast-growing, Y Combinator-backed developer infrastructure startup in the cloud PaaS space is looking for a Growth/Product Engineer to elevate the usability, UX, and visual polish of their platform. You'll join a small, product-focused engineering team, help define the product's design language, and have a direct hand in shaping the direction of the product itself. This is a high-impact, highly visible role at a Series A company where great UX and a consistent design system directly move the needle on customer experience and engineering velocity. All experience levels are welcome — including new grads — and visa sponsorship is available. What You'll Do Take platform usability and UX/visual polish to the next level across the entire product. Participate in all feature discussions and help shape the trajectory of the product. Improve the UI/UX and organization of the core dashboard experience. Implement a design system and define the platform's visual language. Raise the standard for code quality and contribute to engineering culture. Build and maintain UI using React, styled-components, and TypeScript . Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams working with Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs, Postgres, and Redis . Work with cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP as needed. Occasionally operate in a PM-like capacity to drive product vision through to execution. What We're Looking For Must-haves: Proven experience implementing a design system and establishing a consistent visual language for a product. Complete fluency in React, TypeScript, and CSS in production frontend applications. Demonstrated ability to ship features at high velocity in a fast-moving, iterative startup environment. Experience delivering frontend features end-to-end in production. Strong design sensibility with a sharp eye for UX and visual detail. Comfortable wearing multiple hats and collaborating closely across product and engineering. Nice-to-haves: Exposure to full-stack or backend integration with Go, Kubernetes/Helm, Postgres, Redis . Experience with styled-components in React. Familiarity with AWS or GCP cloud platforms. Experience building or contributing to design system tooling and component libraries. You'll thrive here if you: Value rapid learning and continuous improvement. Enjoy having real product ownership and influencing direction — not just executing tickets. Adapt quickly to shifting priorities and can ship at a daily cadence. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $100,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience. Visa sponsorship available. Open to all experience levels, including new graduates. Location This is an on-site role based in New York, NY . Candidates should be available to work from the New York office.
