What Being a Founding Product Engineer Means at GLAM
We believe great products come from engineers who are deeply invested in solving real problems. As one of our first hires, you'll shape not just our products, but our entire engineering culture.
- End-to-End Ownership: You'll drive product development from architecture through implementation. We want someone who thinks deeply about system design while caring about every detail of the user experience.
- Technical Excellence: We're building financial infrastructure that needs to be robust and performant. You'll work with complex state management, real-time data, and sophisticated business logic.
- Product Mindset: While we value technical excellence, we're ultimately here to solve problems for our users - fund managers, investors, and developers. We want someone who thinks about impact as much as implementation.
What We're Looking For
- Craftsmanship: You take pride in building high-quality systems. You care about performance, maintainability, and user experience equally. You have strong opinions about good software design but remain pragmatic.
- Learning & Growth: You're excited to work with new technologies and tackle novel challenges. You stay current with industry developments and bring fresh perspectives to the team.
- Ownership & Initiative: You don't wait for tasks to be assigned - you identify problems and drive solutions. You're comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Collaboration: You make those around you better through thoughtful communication, knowledge sharing, and feedback. You're able to work effectively with both technical and non-technical teammates.
