Responsabilidades

• You're the engineering anchor of an initiative — working as part of a tight team with your PM and designer, and alongside engineering peers on adjacent initiatives.
• You have a hand in the full lifecycle: shaping the problem, deciding the technical approach, directing AI agents to implement much of the code, shipping to production, and — with your team — owning the outcome.
• You're measured by impact, not by lines of code merged.
• When an agent can ship something safely, your job is to make sure it's done right and the metric moves.
• When the work calls for careful, hand-written code in a sensitive area, you write it yourself.
• You ship end-to-end. From problem-framing through production to the post-launch metric review — you see the whole arc and own the result with your team.
• You work as a true product partner.
• You sit at the table with PM and design, bringing engineering judgment to product calls and product sense to engineering calls.
• You get real autonomy — with the right checkpoints.
• You make most technical calls yourself, with architect review on significant architectural decisions and fast input from peers.
• You operate at a staff bar.
• You're trusted to make the call, ship the hard thing, and stand behind the outcome.

Requisitos

• AI-native.
• Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or equivalent are how you ship today — daily, on production work.
• You have real opinions about prompts, evals, agent loops, and review workflows, and you know when to let the agent run versus write it yourself.
• Operating at a lead level.
• Whatever your current title, you've been the person making the call, shipping the hard thing, and standing behind whether it worked.
• Outcome-driven.
• You measure your week in 'did the metric move' and 'did the experience get better.' You read the post-launch dashboard and own the answer.
• A strong horizontal partner.
• You hold your own with a strong PM and designer, and you collaborate well with engineering peers in a shared codebase.
• You bring engineering judgment to product calls and product judgment to engineering calls.
• Decisive and documented.
• You make architecture, data-model, and rollout calls, write them down, get fast input, and move.
• A force multiplier.
• Your impact compounds beyond your own initiative because you leave reusable artifacts behind — agent workflows, evals, runbooks, post-launch reviews.
• Customer- and pro-minded.
• This is a real marketplace with real people on both sides, and you care about the outcomes for both.

Diferenciais

• An individual-contributor role with room to grow.
• People management sits with the EM — but the path into management is an open door for those who want it.
• A product-engineering role, end-to-end.
• You ship features that move metrics; platform and architecture work happen inside the initiative when the outcome needs them.
• Hands-on, with a high quality bar.
• Agents handle much of the implementation; you bring the judgment, design, safety, and accountability.
• The bar is high.
• Shipping to a live marketplace.
• With $100M+ in bookings, customers and pros use what you ship within the same week.

Sobre a empresa

We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services — operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform.

About Engineering at LawnStarter We build in small, focused initiative teams: a Product Engineer working alongside a PM and a designer, supported by an Engineering Manager who helps you grow.

You'll also work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering peers across initiatives in a shared codebase.

The whole team owns whether the work moves its metric.

AI coding agents are a force multiplier here — they give a small, senior team the leverage to ship more, faster, and at a higher bar for quality.

We hire engineers who are wired for ownership and energized by shipping to a real marketplace with customers and pros on both sides.

Tech You'll Touch

• Data — Redshift, dbt, Segment, Airflow
• Infra — AWS, Datadog, Sentry, GitHub Actions
• Documentation & process — Brain (Claude Code skills + docs repo), Confluence, Jira
