Who are we looking for? 

We’re hiring a senior full-stack Product Engineer for our Product Engineering team. The PE team builds all the things our customers and their users use: public APIs, embedded SDKs, customer management dashboard, and more.

Our Product Engineering team is lean and works very closely with Product to ensure we’re evolving Pinwheel’s product in ways that bring maximum value to our customers. We are a high-velocity team where we balance four main workstreams: support of customers, deliver the roadmap, proactively improve the product and keep-the-lights-on.

What will you do?

Here are some projects you might work on in your first six months:

• Help us build our Bill Switch product that helps our customers drive account primacy through migrating their users’ subscription spend to their new accounts
• Contribute to a new API version that improves our contracts and formalizes recent product direction in our platform’s code
• Help us firm up and improve our tax product for next tax season
• Clean up old code that no longer serves our current product direction and leave the codebase better than you found it
• Build a new customer dashboard API that aligns with our stack and opens up future expansion possibilities in customer dashboard functionality
• Build new integrations with banking platform partners and help us improve existing implementations to make them more effective

In general, your responsibilities in this role would include:

• Deeply understand our customer needs and design systems to solve them
• Build, scale, and evolve the data models, services, and systems that power our APIs
• Design and ship impactful new functionality in our products, especially focused on our internal and customer-facing back-end APIs
• Maintain and improve our Python-based microservice stack
• Create and improve tooling, processes, and engineering standards across the team
• Mentor engineers and help the team grow

What qualifications are we looking for? 

• 7+ years of experience building and maintaining full-stack applications, specifically with data modeling, application logic, and API design
• Prior experience working at an early-stage startup or small tech company
• Expertise with modern back-end languages/frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Django, Rails, Gin)
• Expertise with modern frontend web frameworks (React, Vue, etc.)
• Played key implementation roles in projects with multiple teams and engineers
• Excited by working closely with customers
• Responsibly uses AI on top of fundamental skills, doesn’t replace them
• Maintains a high bar for technical quality and continues to level up
