Product Engineer

About the Role

The best consumer products aren't built by handing specs across a wall, they're built by people who own the problem end-to-end. As a Product Engineer, you'll be that person: part builder, part product manager, fully accountable for outcomes. Astrocade is two sides of a platform that have to grow together: creators need a reason to build here and players need a reason to stay.

You'll find the friction on both sides, decide what to build, ship it with your own hands, and measure whether it worked. This is a hands-on IC role with a clear path to more ownership as we scale. If you're excited about this role but don't meet every single qualification, we'd still love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Build multi-platform features and user journeys end-to-end in React and TypeScript, from prototype to production
• Develop and improve core frontend architecture for web and mobile, from the game feed to our creator experience
• Design, run, and interpret A/B tests at real consumer scale (tens of millions of users)
• Spend time diving into funnels and data around acquisition, activation, engagement and retention for both creators and players, and and turn analytics into hypotheses, experiments, and shipped improvements
• Think in systems: understand how a change to one surface ripples through creator and player loops, and catch unintended consequences before they ship
• Use and build agentic tools to automate your own workflows, uncover insights, and scale what works
• Shape product strategy with data-backed conviction and collaborate with a diverse set of colleagues to make Astrocade better

You’d Be a Great Fit If You

• Have 2+ years of engineering experience on products that serve many stakeholders, with real ownership of product outcomes
• Have worked in either React or React Native and are comfortable building large features independently
• Are fluent with product analytics - funnels, cohorts, retention curves, experiment design - and tools like Amplitude, Mixpanel, or custom SQL queries
• Enjoy digging into data to understand user behavior
• Have carried projects from ambiguous idea to measured impact, end-to-end
• Communicate and document clearly: you can explain the why, lay out the tradeoffs, and leave behind decisions and learnings others can build on
• Enjoy both product-thinking and solving hard engineering problems

Bonus Points

• Experience growing a two-sided marketplace, creator platform, or consumer social product
• Familiarity with viral growth mechanics and community-led growth loops
• Experience running growth or experimentation programs at a high-growth consumer company
• Background in data science or a history of building your own analytics pipelines
