Senior Product Engineer, New Products

We're building the front door for how businesses partner with government in America.

Public agencies spend roughly a trillion dollars a year with private companies, and nearly all of it still moves through infrastructure that hasn't changed in decades. Starbridge is building the full operating system for that relationship: the data, the signals, the workflows, and the rails that let a company find a public buyer, win the work, and get paid.

We monitor 320,000+ public sector entities around the clock. 500+ customers have joined us since our launch in March. We've raised $50M from top investors including Craft and Michael Seibel of Y Combinator.

We are looking for a generalist senior product engineer to join our early team in New York City. This role will work closely with our product and design team as well as the rest of our engineering team to build the user-facing aspects of the Starbridge platform. You'll figure out ways to build highly performant, stable frontends that allow us to explain technical concepts to non-technical users and create structures that allow us to build and iterate quickly and be responsive to customer feedback.

What you bring:

• Have 7+ years of software engineering experience working on modern web ecosystems.

• Have experience working in a startup or a smaller company with real engineering impact.

• Have 5+ years of experience with React, Typescript, Javascript, RESTful API, CSS, and other front-end technologies.

• Set the highest possible UX and UI bar for the work you do.

• Understands how code can affect performance and how to measure and optimize the work you do.

• Are a team player who is excited to do what it takes to make the team successful. You're proactive both in how you work and how you communicate.

• Are comfortable in a work environment that blends sync and async communication and work.

• Are excited to build an in-person culture with us.

Bonus if you have:

• Experience as a technical lead making architectural design decisions.

• Github CI/CD.

We move fast — really fast. Getting back to someone today beats tomorrow, and our interview process reflects that mindset. Please keep us posted on your timeline so we can move quickly and speed things up where needed.

After submitting your application, the team reviews your CV and statement of exceptional work. If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 30-minute interview during which a member of our team will make sure you're a good fit for the role. You will have the opportunity ask questions and learn more about the role as well.

We'll then send you a programming challenge that consists of two parts: LeetCode and React. Beyond that step, you will enter the main process, which consists of three interviews:

1. Experience, theory, and system design.

2. Live coding.

3. Product thinking and past work.

Our goal is to finish the process within one week. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet and onsite in our NYC office.
