# Software Engineer and Product Manager

The RoleWe’re looking for someone to join us as a Software Engineer & Product Manager, a hybrid role where you’ll help decide what we build and write the code that brings it to life. This is not a traditional development role. With us, product development and client delivery are closely connected. To build the right solutions, you need to understand how clients use the platform, where they run into challenges, and which problems matter most. For your first three months, you’ll work closely with our client support team, helping with onboarding, demos, and day-to-day client queries.

After that, you’ll move full-time into product and engineering; day-to-day support stays with the support team. You’ll also be hands-on in our Python/Django codebase, shipping bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features informed by what you’re learning from clients.
