About the role
ActiveProspect is on a mission to make consent-based marketing the best channel for online customer acquisition. Its platform helps thousands of companies acquire qualified customers at scale, save wasted spend, comply with regulations, and manage an evolving partner landscape.
As a Senior Product Engineer, you own customer and business outcomes, not tickets. Your home base is a core team, and you deploy into projects, initiatives, and pods to ship outcomes across the full stack: React on the frontend, Node.js and Python services on AWS.
You'll report to an Engineering Manager and often act as the player-coach Tech Lead as you embed, owning technical direction while the Engineering Manager owns delivery health and stakeholder alignment.
What you'll do
- Own outcomes end-to-end: frame the problem, design it, ship it, and own the metric. Descope to the cheapest version that works and prototype in days.
- Stay close to customers. Shadow sales and support, join advisory conversations, and let customer reality drive technical decisions. Propose what to build, defer, and kill.
- Own your domain's interfaces, reliability, performance, and security, including on-call for the systems you own. Handle consent and PII with customer trust in mind, and share patterns, tooling, and context with the wider organization.
- Ship responsive, accessible React interfaces with a strong UI/UX eye, backed by Node.js and Python services and APIs. Keep the cloud batch platform and data pipelines delivering multi-tenant products reliable as they scale.
- Build AI-assisted workflows, evolve the team's practices as tooling changes, and look for product wins AI unlocks, including smarter routing and anomaly detection.
- Mentor on judgment and product sense, write decision memos and ADRs, and enable Product and Design to self-serve.
What they're looking for
- A track record of shipping something end-to-end that you cared about and owning the outcome, not just the code.
- Product judgment: pushing back on a bad spec, proposing the cheapest experiment, descoping well, and collaborating with Product to suggest solutions rather than waiting for a fully specced ticket.
- Comfort embedding with unfamiliar teams and codebases, getting productive fast, and leaving them better than you found them.
- Deep full-stack expertise: React component lifecycle, state management, and rendering optimization; JavaScript/TypeScript and modern CSS; Node.js and Python services, RESTful APIs, and asynchronous data handling.
- Cloud and data-pipeline depth: AWS core services including Lambda, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, and API Gateway, plus cloud batch or workflow orchestration such as Step Functions or Airflow, to deliver multi-tenant batch products and data solutions reliably at scale.
- A strong UI/UX eye: turn wireframes, mockups, and ambiguous requirements into intuitive, accessible, user-centric journeys.
- Strong systems design judgment in ambiguous contexts and a security mindset aligned with sensitive consumer data and compliance.
- Fluency building AI-assisted workflows and reading AI output critically. Daily use of AI-native tools such as Cursor and Claude Code, precise prompting across OpenAI and Claude models, and judgment about when to trust output, review it for hidden bugs and security issues, or override it.
- Clear written and verbal communication.
- Mentorship experience.
- 5-10% travel.
