Engineering Generalist - Product Impact (Full Stack)

About the role

Pocket is building a category-defining platform for ambient intelligence. We need an engineer who can work across backend + frontend to ship the highest-leverage product and growth improvements - whatever moves the needle.

What you'll own

- End-to-end projects: instrumentation → backend services → web/app UI → rollout & iteration.

- Build and iterate on user-facing product features (activation, retention, paid conversion, core UX).

- Design, implement, and scale backend systems: APIs, data models, pipelines, jobs, reliability.

- Improve frontend surfaces where it matters (web product, internal tools, landing pages, onboarding flows).

- Drive experiments: set hypotheses, ship fast, measure results, and harden what works.

- Work closely with design, product, marketing, and support - and help unblock them with code.

What success looks like

- Shipped features/experiments that measurably improve activation/retention/revenue.

- Reliable systems with clear observability (logs/metrics/traces) and pragmatic correctness.

- Clean, simple architecture that stays fast to iterate on as the product evolves.

- High ownership: you proactively find the most important problems and solve them.

What we're looking for

- Have strong backend fundamentals (APIs, DBs, async jobs, caching, performance, reliability).

- Can comfortably ship frontend changes (React/TypeScript or similar), even if it’s not your “main thing.”

- Care deeply about product outcomes and can translate ambiguity into shipped work.

- Prefer shipping and learning over long debates; you can move quickly without breaking things.

- 6–10+ years of experience shipping production software (startup pace preferred).

What we care about most

- Performance and reliability by default: profiling, latency budgets, graceful degradation, and pragmatic correctness.

Nice-to-haves

- Experience running experiments / analytics instrumentation (events, funnels, cohorts).

- Experience building internal tools that make teams faster.

- Startup / zero-to-one experience.

Our stack (today)

- Mobile: Flutter

- Frontend: React (TypeScript)

- Backend: Go + Node

- Data: Postgres + Redis

What we offer

- Work directly with us and learn fast

- Direct impact on how the company operates day to day

- High-trust, high-responsibility environment

- Competitive compensation
