Staff Product Engineer, Backend

Zūm, Hybrid Remote/ Redwood City, CA

What you will do

Be a core technical contributor and lead within backend product engineering, architecting the features and services your team builds, not the platform underneath them.
Work with other backend engineers to deliver high-quality product features, from ideation to deployment.
Partner with Product and Design to plan and scope new functionality, and represent engineering feasibility and tradeoffs in that planning.
Improve and extend existing product-facing systems, building on the shared platform primitives (auth, data access, core services) rather than building your own.
Introduce tools and process improvements that help your team ship faster, in coordination with platform-wide standards.
Stay hands-on: own your code from design through production, and quickly see the impact of your work.

You care about the full lifecycle of a product feature, from idea to the customer seeing it in production, and you measure yourself by the business impact you drive.
