Senior Product Engineer, Modern Animal

• This role is for someone who can own complex, high-impact initiatives end-to-end
• Multidiscipline Curiosity — You have a deep curiosity about how systems work across domains (engineering, product, operations, and medical workflows); you have a strong desire to understand the full context behind problems
• Pragmatic Problem Solving — You connect business goals with technical tradeoffs, and drive teams to solutions that are both practical and scalable
• Effective Communication — You communicate complex ideas clearly across audiences (engineering, product, operations, medical, and leadership teams), both in writing and verbally
• Technical Leadership — You have a strong foundation in system design, architecture, and software engineering best practices, with the ability to guide others. You build systems that are operationally sound, and lead teams in production support scenarios
• Ownership & Project Leadership — You lead large and ambiguous initiatives: defining scope, identifying success criteria, making data driven decisions, aligning stakeholders, managing execution, and ultimately delivering outcomes
• Product Mindset — You see beyond implementation. You focus on user experience and business impact to ensure the right solution is built, not just the technically correct one
• Continuous Improvement — You actively reflect on outcomes and identify opportunities to improve systems, solutions, and processes; you can apply learnings and institutionalize change
• AI Leverage — You use AI tools to accelerate personal productivity and team output. You identify opportunities to embed AI into products and workflows to improve user experience and business performance
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing — You produce clear, concise documentation that scales knowledge across an organization, e.g. technical designs, product specs, postmortems, status updates
• 5+ years of experience building and shipping software in a product-driven environment
• Proven track record of owning complex, cross-functional initiatives from concept through delivery
• Experience working closely with product, design, and non-technical stakeholders to define and deliver solutions
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces and drive clarity
• Strong software engineering fundamentals (data modeling, system design, API design, testing, and performance)
• Experience designing and building scalable, maintainable systems in production environments
• Ability to write high-quality, readable, and well-tested code
• Comfort working across the stack (frontend, backend)
• Experience leading projects or initiatives, formally and informally
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to influence decisions across disciplines
• Track record of mentoring other engineers and raising the quality bar of a team
• We care far more about your ability to learn, adapt, and apply sound engineering principles than experience with any specific tools
