About The Role

You're a frontend, backend, or fullstack engineer who has always been a little too interested in why something is being built to stay purely in the code. You've pushed back on specs that didn't make sense. You've noticed when a metric moved after your ship and wanted to know more. You've had opinions about product decisions that no one asked you for but wish they did. You've been waiting for a role that actually wants all of that.

At Workweek, we're building an operating mode where one person owns an outcome end to end across product, design, and engineering: outcome focused, with AI tooling and a team of specialists behind each Builder on the team. As a Product Engineer [Builder], you bring the technical backbone — but your job isn't to execute a spec. It's to own the whole experiment.

You'll work within a strong technical foundation built by our specialist team so you can move fast without breaking things. Our design system, experiment architecture, and shared guardrails are built and will continue evolving so you can run, not ramp. You'll report to our Director of Product because outcomes are the unit of success here.

What You Might Work On

The problems are real and the surface area is wide. Depending on where you focus, you might be running experiments to improve week 2 retention on our Professional Networks, where we know engagement in the first 14 days is the single biggest driver of whether a member sticks around. You might be working on onboarding flows that help new members understand the community and find their footing faster. You might be building features that increase the quantity and quality of member contributed content, since we know content activity drives social connection and social connection drives retention. On the Partner Platform side, you might be improving how advertisers and partners plan, execute, and measure campaigns so we can grow NRR and expand what the platform can do.

The through line across all of it: we know which behaviors move which metrics. Your job is to run the experiments that move them.

What You'll Do

• Form a hypothesis tied to a product metric and a real business goal you can articulate
• Do enough product and design thinking to define a testable experiment — you have access to our design system and specialist support when you need it
• Build and ship the feature or test within our experiment architecture, leveraging our stack to close the gap between what you can execute and what the experiment needs
• QA your own work before it ships
• Read your results, share clear takeaways, and propose what's next
• Work across surfaces — our Professional Networks (HR, Healthcare, Marketing, Ecomm, Fintech) and our B2B Partner Platform — and bring the same outcome focused approach to both
• Contribute to the shared context and guardrails that make the whole team faster, not just your own work
• Be a part of a team that thrives on collaboration and celebrates autonomy in the building process

Qualifications

• 3-4+ years in full stack or frontend engineering, ideally in a product facing role
• You've had opinions about product decisions and been willing to voice them
• Comfortable doing basic to intermediate product and design thinking. You don't need to be a designer, but you can't be allergic to it
• AI leveraged, or actively building toward actually integrating these tools into how you work
• Comfortable in ambiguity. You can start moving without a PRD
• High agency. You ask for feedback, not permission
• You want to be a Super IC — someone actively expanding beyond their core discipline — and you're honest about where you still need support
• Bonus: Prior experience or genuine interest in social networks, professional networks, media, and/or advertising

Benefits

• Competitive pay (we don't pay based on location, we assign value to the role)
• Equity in Workweek
• Remote operations with the ability to work in the time zone of your choice (or work IRL in our Austin, TX office)
• Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 3 days/quarter used
• 100% health insurance coverage, 75% coverage for dependents, and $150/month towards an HSA (or $150/month health stipend if insurance not used)
• 120 days of parental leave to use within one year of childbirth (available 12 months after your start date and only available every 365 days)
• 401(k) plan with 3.5% company match
• $500 one-time stipend for any home office needs used after the first 90 days
• 5-week sabbatical after 4 years on staff
• 2 volunteering days per year
