Software Engineer, Product Engineering, EU

About The Role And How We Work

Our engineering culture focuses on ownership and autonomy. Engineers write product specs, make product and design decisions, and work with minimal process. There are no daily stand‑ups, t‑shirt sizing, or planning meetings. Instead, engineers are empowered to research competitors, create wireframes, write specs, and ship features end‑to‑end.

As a Product Engineer, you’ll own a large portion of a product from research to delivery. You’ll research competitors, write product specs, build wireframes, and implement features end‑to‑end. Example projects include:

• Designed and built automated interview scheduling that presents available times to candidates and solves the “Calendar Tetris” problem.
• Built a generalized declarative filter architecture that allows users to create complex filters and compiles them to SQL.
• Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within the platform, integrating with other features.

We create technology that enables talent‑acquisition teams to schedule candidates faster, track interviewer quality, and reduce manual effort. We aim to automate or simplify tasks that current TA software does not address.

• Comfortable tackling any part of the technology stack, from frontend to infrastructure.
• Experience with ambiguous projects that require product and technical creativity.
• Ability to balance speed and quality, delivering high‑quality solutions efficiently.
• Ambitious, eager to improve skills, open to frequent feedback.
• Excellent collaborator and communicator, vetting decisions with stakeholders and working effectively with peers.
• Proactively create leverage by automating or abstracting tedious work.

• Competitive salary and equity.
• 10‑year exercise window for stock options.
• Unlimited PTO and encouragement to use it.
• Minimum 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave; longer for locations outside the US.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
• $100/month education budget; additional items covered with manager approval.
• For US employees, top‑tier health insurance with 100% premium coverage; elsewhere, high‑quality supplemental insurance fully covered.
