Product Engineer (Full Stack)

What you’ll do

Engineering at Plain is about much more than moving tickets from left to right – it’s about owning and solving problems end to end, from infrastructure decisions to feature design to button copy.

You will:

• Build across the stack: frontend interfaces, backend logic, and everything in between
• Ship high impact features that are fast, reliable, and delightful
• Contribute to product and technical direction, working closely with design, engineering, and founders
• Collaborate tightly with customers to understand their problems and solve them elegantly
• Help shape a fast‑moving, product‑centric engineering culture

This is a great fit if you…

• Have shipped features end-to-end in fast paced environments
• Take initiative and show strong agency; you don’t wait to be told what to do, you figure out what matters, drive momentum and make it better, we move and ship fast here
• Are impact driven and motivated by seeing customers succeed; you measure the quality of your work by the end experience of users, not the abstractions or cleanliness of the code
• Want to work closely with customers and shape product decisions, not just execute on tickets
• Care deeply about craft and love building products that feel simple, powerful, and polished
• Want to not only do great work in a fast paced team, but also have a voice to level up how Plain as a company works

This won’t be the right role if you…

• Are uncomfortable with ambiguity; we have some really exciting traction but are still at an early stage and are constantly trying new things as our company grows, you should enjoy “being in the storm”
• Find learning about new technologies a key motivation for coming to work; we invest in what makes us productive but will prefer the known option to the experimental and novel, Postgres is great
• Are looking to manage others, we’re firmly looking for someone who, for now, wants to be an individual contributor
