Senior Product Engineer (Full Stack)

Company Overview

We have just raised our 25M Series A funding round.

Job Summary

I'm looking for entrepreneurial senior product engineers who want to own entire customer problems on our product. You won't get specced tickets at Kombo, but talk to customers, design the solution, build it, ship it, and make sure it actually works. This is a Berlin based on-site role.

Key Responsibilities

• Take holistic problems of our customers, join calls (or even visit them), design a solution to their problem, implement it end-to-end, and support it until the first users are using it successfully.
• Talk to customers, write RFCs, implement a solution, deploy to production, and enable the first customers to use it.
• Depending on your seniority, you will be supported by a PM and/or senior engineer.
• Take high ownership of actually solving the problem for our customer, not just shipping a feature to spec.
• If you launch a feature and see that it's not solving the problem yet, it's your obligation to bring that up and improve the feature.

Requirements / Qualifications

• You love building things and take pride in your engineering work.
• You are able to own customer problems end-to-end and enjoy taking responsibility.
• You appreciate radically candid feedback and want to work in an environment where you can also give it.
• You love the energy of being in the office, dedicate a lot to the environment, and work alongside motivated people.
• Strong TypeScript programming skills.
• Product sense.

Why You Should Not Apply

• You are looking for a remote-friendly environment where the default is working from home.
• You like getting well prepared work assigned and not having to think about the order or communication.
• You dislike the discomfort of giving or receiving radically candid feedback.
• You look for a chill job.
