About the role
LAUNCHPAD embeds senior product engineers into growth-stage company squads: Series B through pre-IPO, plus founder-friendly engagements at the seed stage. We staff engineers who can challenge a roadmap decision in standup, ship full-stack, and run velocity curves that bend up over a quarter rather than a sprint.
You'll work inside the customer's engineering culture, ship through their repos and CI, and be accountable to their release gates. Department backing through LAUNCHPAD lead office hours; CANVAS designer embedded in the squad; CORTEX or NEXUS specialists pulled in when the engagement needs them.
What you’ll do
- Embed in a growth-stage product engineering squad: discovery, design, build, deploy, operate
- Ship full-stack: web, API, data: opinionated about architecture, evidence-based about decisions
- Co-design roadmap with product / engineering leadership; surface trade-offs in writing
- Mentor in-house engineers through code review, architecture review, and pairing
- Maintain LAUNCHPAD's product-engineering memo template and playbook contributions
What we look for
- 7+ years of full-stack product engineering with at least one product shipped 0→1 and 1→scale
- Strong opinions about product engineering: when to ship fast, when to invest in substrate
- Deep experience with a modern stack: TypeScript / Next.js / React + Postgres / Redis + cloud
- Track record of working inside customer engineering cultures (consulting, agency, embedded contracts)
- Comfortable challenging roadmap decisions in writing without becoming the team's antagonist
Nice to have
- Founding engineer or early-stage CTO experience
- AI feature integration (Vercel AI SDK, RAG, agentic workflows in product)
- Mobile (React Native) or design-systems engineering experience
