Product Engineer, marta

• 4–7 years of professional experience in software engineering, with a track record of shipping complete products (not just features within someone else's product)
• Strong skills in TypeScript, Node.js, and React. You can build a full-stack feature from database to UI without waiting for someone else
• Experience with PostgreSQL, Express.js, and TypeORM (or similar ORMs). Comfortable designing data models for complex business domains
• Experience building mobile applications — React Native, Flutter, or native iOS/Android. You understand offline-first architecture and mobile-specific UX constraints
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (ECS, S3, SQS/SNS) and containerized deployments (Docker). You can deploy what you build
• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar). You already use AI daily and have strong opinions about how to use it effectively
• Experience conducting user research — you've talked to real users, observed their workflows, and translated insights into product decisions. This doesn't mean you need a UX research background; it means you're curious about users and not afraid to pick up the phone
• A pragmatic mindset: you value shipping over perfection, simplicity over cleverness, and user impact over technical elegance
• Comfortable working with high autonomy in a lean team. You don't need a product manager to tell you what to build — you figure it out from user needs and business goals

Desirable

• Experience Level: 8-12 years in software engineering, with at least 2–3 years leading or mentoring technical teams
• You own a new product area within marta's care platform — end to end. You don't just write code; you talk to users, understand their workflows, design solutions, build them, ship them, and iterate based on real-world feedback. You work with AI as your daily co-pilot, using it to move at the speed of a small team while maintaining the quality of a senior engineer
• Your work will directly impact caregivers in the field — people who rely on mobile tools to manage their day, document their work, and coordinate with families and back-office teams. You understand that great software for field workers means offline capability, simplicity under pressure, and zero friction
• Own a product area from discovery to delivery: conduct user research, define requirements, design the architecture, build it, and ship it
• Talk directly to caregivers, back-office staff, and families to understand their real workflows — not just their feature requests
• Make product and technical decisions autonomously, escalating only when trade-offs affect other teams or the broader platform
• Define success metrics for your product area and iterate based on data and user feedback
• Design and build features across the entire stack: React frontends, Node.js/Express APIs, PostgreSQL data models, and mobile experiences
• Build mobile-first experiences for field workers — people who use the app on the go, often with poor connectivity, and who need things like digital signatures, time tracking, scheduling, and documentation to work reliably
• Write clean, tested, production-ready code that integrates seamlessly into marta's microservices architecture
• Own the quality of your code: write tests, monitor production, and fix what breaks
• Use AI (Claude, Copilot, and internal tools) as your daily pair programmer — for code generation, research, prototyping, and documentation
• You're expected to ship at 3–5x the pace of a traditional engineer by leveraging AI for the repetitive parts and focusing your human expertise on architecture, domain logic, and user empathy
• Experiment with AI-powered features within the product itself — automating operational workflows, intelligent scheduling, smart document generation, and predictive insights
• Continuously improve your AI-assisted workflow and share learnings with the team
• Develop deep understanding of German care regulations, billing systems, and operational workflows relevant to your product area
• Ensure compliance with GDPR, data protection requirements, and industry-specific regulations
• Work with domain experts to translate complex regulatory requirements into clean, maintainable software
• Build mobile experiences that work in the real world: (offline-capable), fast, intuitive, and reliable in low-connectivity environments
• Understand that field workers (caregivers) have different needs than office users — they need one-hand operation, large touch targets, minimal cognitive load, and bulletproof data sync
• Own the mobile experience end-to-end, including native capabilities like GPS tracking, push notifications, camera/signature capture, and background sync
