About the role
Role: Staff Product Engineer
Staff Product Engineer for an initiative-based team in a remote setup for candidates based in São Paulo, Brazil.
What you’ll do
- Own an initiative end-to-end with a PM and designer, from problem framing and technical approach to production shipping and post-launch metric review.
- Make most technical decisions (architecture, data model, integrations, rollout plan, observability, rollback strategy), with architect review for significant decisions.
- Direct AI coding agents to implement much of the code while ensuring correctness and quality (prompts, guardrails, evals, tests, and review loop).
- Ship production-ready software: when areas require careful hand-written code, you write it yourself.
- Drive cross-functional partnership through daily collaboration with PM (scope/tradeoffs) and designer (UX decisions/prototyping), plus weekly check-ins with the Engineering Manager.
- Be accountable for the initiative outcome metric, presenting results 2–4 weeks after launch.
Engineering culture / expectations
- Measured by impact, not code volume.
- Work at a staff bar: trusted to ship hard problems and stand behind outcomes.
- Maintain a high bar for quality including production correctness, security, performance, observability, and customer/pro partner experience.
- Use AI as a force multiplier without lowering standards.
Responsibilities you’ll own
- Technical approach: architecture, data model, integration choices, rollout, observability, rollback
- Implementation quality for agent-authored code: prompts, guardrails, evals, tests, review loop
- Initiative outcome: the metric the initiative is meant to move
How success is evaluated
- Impact on the product metric within 2–4 weeks post-launch
- Safe, correct, secure, observable production delivery with strong customer/pro experience
