Our work spans 30+ media brands and 50+ newsletters, supported by a global team across the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, and the Philippines.\nWe're a remote-first company that values curiosity, collaboration, and growth. We invest in our people, embrace AI and new technologies to improve how we work, and create opportunities for team members to build meaningful careers. Many of our leaders have grown from within, including our CEO, who started here as an intern.\nWe believe great work happens when people feel connected. Through company all-hands, team events, Slack communities, learning sessions, and in-person gatherings, we create intentional opportunities for our global team to collaborate, build relationships, and celebrate successes together.\nAll positions are open to remote work unless otherwise specified in the requirements below. \nThe opportunity\nWe're seeking a Product Engineer with a builder's mindset: someone who naturally spots problems, gets excited about finding solutions, and enjoys turning ideas into working products. You might have founded a startup, launched your own product, built side projects, automated something that frustrated you, or simply be the person who is always looking for a better way to do things.\nAt TechnologyAdvice, engineers don't just implement requirements or wait for work to be assigned. They work directly with business stakeholders, Product, and other engineers to discover problems worth solving, determine what solutions make sense, and take ownership of delivering measurable results.\nYou'll work across the full problem-solving lifecycle, from identifying opportunities and understanding business needs to evaluating solutions, implementation, deployment, measurement, and iteration. Sometimes the right solution is a new application. Other times it's improving an existing process, automating manual work, or recognizing that something isn't worth building at all. We value engineers who are just as interested in figuring out what to build and why as they are in actually building it.\nAI is a core part of how we work. We expect engineers to use AI throughout their workflows to accelerate research, discovery, prototyping, development, testing, and delivery. We believe AI enables resourceful engineers to experiment faster, tackle more ambitious problems, and create impact well beyond what would traditionally be possible for a small team. Strong engineering fundamentals and sound judgment remain essential to ensuring those solutions are reliable, secure, and maintainable.\nYou won't be expected to independently navigate every complex opportunity from day one. You'll collaborate with Product, Engineering leadership, and experienced engineers as you develop the judgment to assess opportunities, make tradeoffs, and own increasingly ambiguous problems. What matters is that you take initiative, seek out context, and drive problems forward rather than waiting for detailed instructions.\nSuccess in this role is measured by the business impact you create, your ability to identify and solve meaningful problems, the speed and quality of your execution, and how effectively you use AI and technology to increase your leverage. We care more about whether your solutions create value than how much code you write.\nThe best candidates are curious, resourceful, action-oriented builders who enjoy experimenting, challenging assumptions, and turning ideas into reality. Whether your experience comes from building products at work, launching your own ventures, or pursuing projects simply because you wanted to see if something could be done, we're looking for people who take pride in solving problems and want to have a direct hand in making a business better.\nLocation: United States\nWhat you'll do\nUse AI-assisted development practices to rapidly prototype, validate, and ship production-ready solutions.\nWork directly with business stakeholders and Product to understand business problems, user needs, constraints, and desired outcomes.\nProactively identify opportunities to improve business outcomes by engaging stakeholders, examining data, questioning existing processes, and investigating problems, not just responding to assigned work.\nTake ownership of problems from solution definition through implementation, deployment, measurement, and iteration.\nBuild and maintain full-stack applications, backend services, automations, data workflows, and internal tools that create business value.\nUnderstand how your work connects to measurable outcomes such as revenue, cost, speed, quality, capacity, risk, or customer experience.\nUse data, feedback, and product analytics to determine whether shipped solutions are producing the intended results.\nExercise sound technical judgment and know when a decision requires additional input because of its complexity, risk, or long-term implications.\nWork directly with cloud infrastructure and edge platforms, including AWS and Cloudflare.\nMonitor, troubleshoot, and improve system reliability, observability, performance, and operational excellence.\nParticipate thoughtfully in code reviews and contribute to high engineering standards.\nContinuously experiment with new technologies, AI capabilities, and development practices that can increase your effectiveness and autonomy.\nDevelop the business, product, and technical judgment required to independently own increasingly ambiguous and high-impact problems.\nEvaluate potential solutions based on expected business impact, effort, risk, and uncertainty. Help prioritize opportunities and recommend when to build, buy, automate, experiment, or take no action.\nDesign small experiments, prototypes, or validation approaches to test assumptions and reduce uncertainty before investing in larger solutions.\nWho you are\nProduct Ownership & Execution\nDemonstrated ability to understand a business or user problem and translate it into a practical technical solution.\nExperience owning software through implementation, deployment, and iteration rather than considering the work complete when code is merged.\nAbility to collaborate directly with stakeholders, ask effective questions, challenge assumptions constructively, and incorporate business context into technical decisions.\nCuriosity about how the business works and a desire to understand the outcomes your work is intended to create.\nAbility to operate with increasing independence while recognizing when additional context, expertise, or alignment is needed.\nAI-Native Engineering\nDemonstrated use of AI-assisted development tools to improve the speed, quality, or scope of software development.\nAbility to critically evaluate, test, and refine AI-generated code rather than treating AI output as inherently correct.\nInterest in continually evolving your engineering workflow as AI capabilities improve.\nStrong engineering fundamentals that allow you to use AI as leverage without compromising security, reliability, performance, or maintainability.\nTechnical Expertise\nExperience building and maintaining production web applications.\nComfortable working within modern application frameworks such as Laravel or similar.\nExperience working with relational databases and writing queries both within and outside of ORMs.\nWorking knowledge of cloud infrastructure such as AWS, Cloudflare, or similar platforms.\nProficiency with Git-based development workflows, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and automated deployment practices.\nAbility to troubleshoot production systems and reason across application, data, and infrastructure layers.\nCollaboration & Communication\nStrong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nComfortable working in a globally distributed, remote-first organization.\nWillingness to seek context directly from the people closest to a problem rather than relying solely on written requirements.\nReceptive to feedback and able to incorporate new information quickly.\nSelf-driven and accountable for delivering results.\nPreferred\nExperience building AI-powered products using LLM APIs, embeddings, RAG architectures, agent frameworks, or related technologies.\nExperience with experimentation and product analytics platforms such as PostHog or similar tools.\nFamiliarity with our core technology stack, including PHP, Python, TypeScript, Laravel, Astro, Cloudflare, and AWS.\nExperience with infrastructure-as-code, containerization, or other modern platform engineering practices.\nExperience building software that improves internal operations, automates manual workflows, or directly affects business performance.\nEngineering Culture at TechnologyAdvice\nWe ship frequently - We favor small, incremental changes that allow us to learn quickly.\nWe embrace AI - AI-powered tools such as Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT are expected parts of the engineering workflow.\nWe understand the problem - Engineers don't just receive requirements; they seek out the context necessary to make good decisions.\nWe own outcomes - Shipping code isn't the finish line. We care whether what we built actually solved the problem.\nWe use judgment - Not every decision needs a process, framework, or escalation. We expect engineers to develop the judgment to make good decisions at the appropriate level.\nWe stay curious - Engineers are encouraged to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, experiment, and learn.\nWe increase our leverage - We continually look for ways technology and AI can allow a small team to create disproportionate business impact.\nGrowth to Senior Product Engineer\nProduct Engineers are expected to develop increasing autonomy, judgment, scope, and business ownership over time.\nA Senior Product Engineer consistently demonstrates the ability to independently identify high-value opportunities, turn ambiguous business problems into solutions, make sound architectural and build-vs-buy decisions, and own complex work from discovery through measurable business impact with minimal oversight.\nProgression to Senior is based on demonstrated scope, autonomy, judgment, leverage, and impact-not tenure.\nWhat we offer you\nCareer Growth: Advance with mentorship programs, leadership academies, and opportunities to shape company culture and DEI initiatives.\nFlex Fridays: Adjust your 40-hour week to enjoy a full or half day off on Fridays.\nRemote-First Culture: Work from the comfort of your home.\nFlexible PTO: Take the time you need, when you need it.\nHealth Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your family.\nInsurance Protection: Life, AD&D, Short-Term, and Long-Term Disability coverage.\n401K with Match: Secure your future with our company-matched retirement savings.\nPaid Parental Leave: Support for new parents during life’s special moments.\nWellness Perks: Access Headspace and enjoy monthly fitness reimbursements.\nPet Insurance: Care for your furry family members.\nSpeaker Series Bonus: Present in our monthly speaker series and earn a bonus.\nBook Reimbursement: Get up to 12 books reimbursed per year to fuel your learning.\nBucket List Benefit: Celebrate milestones with annual contributions toward your dream adventures after 3 years.\nIn-Office Perks: Enjoy catered lunches for our in-office team.\nWork authorization\nEmployer work visa sponsorship and support are not provided for this role. Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States at hire in an employer approved US state and must maintain authorization to work in the United States throughout their employment with our company.\nSalary Range\nWe seek to hire top-tier individuals and intend for our compensation to be at a rate that allows us to recruit and retain individuals who align with our core values, pur...","description_format":"text","description_chars":13181,"description_truncated":true,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Lead Generation","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T20:52:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":160000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/technologyadvice-product-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/technologyadvice-product-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T11:21:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17423,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6947},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6947"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftechnologyadvice-product-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftechnologyadvice-product-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftechnologyadvice-product-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/technologyadvice-product-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftechnologyadvice-product-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3420738}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"technologyadvice.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3420738},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
