About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the full lifecycle of customer-facing features for a technical product, from early concept to live release. The work involves close collaboration with fellow engineers and direct contact with users, with their feedback steering priorities.
What you'll do
- Take new capabilities for technical users from first idea through to production release.
- Keep quality and stability high for everything you deliver, even when external conditions shift often.
- Shape loosely defined problems into simple, well-designed interfaces that are pleasant to work with.
- Collaborate with other engineers on roadmap choices and the tradeoffs involved.
- Use the product yourself and review reported issues to decide what to build next.
- Help customers troubleshoot their integrations and join customer calls while retaining ownership of the product.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js.
- A track record of releasing tools that outside engineers adopted, with real care for how they feel to use, including speed, output format and documentation.
- Production experience with browser automation, bot-detection avoidance or autonomous web agents, released to outside users.
- Daily use of AI coding assistants and a solid grasp of how AI agents interact with tools and web content.
- Experience owning features end to end without a dedicated product manager or designer, ideally as an early engineer at a small startup.
- Ability to describe a feature you cut or reworked because of observed user behavior, and the reasoning.
- Comfort working directly with customers.
- A preference for shipping, measuring and iterating over perfecting plans on paper.
- Willingness to work on-site five days a week, relocating before the start date if needed.
