Vvd: Product Engineer

What a Product Engineer means at vvd A Product Engineer here is a more technical Design Engineer. You still care deeply about taste, feel, motion, and craft. But you also go further down the stack: data models, APIs, performance, reliability, and the messy systems work needed to ship great product.

You are also extremely comfortable with AI tooling. You use it daily (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to explore solutions, generate and refine code, debug faster, and ship at a pace that would be hard to match otherwise. What you’ll do Partner tightly with design and engineering to turn ambiguous ideas into shipped product in days, not weeks.

Own UI craft and the underlying technical decisions that make experiences fast, reliable, and scalable. Shape how we build: patterns, primitives, component quality, testing, and internal tooling. Use AI tools as a multiplier.

You prompt well, iterate quickly, and maintain a high quality bar. Communicate directly and clearly. No corporate padding.

What we care about Experience helps, but it’s not a gate. If you’ve built and shipped real things — jobs, side projects, experiments — and you can walk us through what you built, why you built it that way, what broke, and how you solved it, you’re good. Ownership matters more than pedigree.

Specifically Strong product engineering fundamentals (TypeScript, React, Next.js or similar). Enough backend understanding to build features without getting blocked (APIs, auth, data flow, persistence, basic infra concepts). Taste.

You can feel what’s working and what isn’t — and you can fix it. You can go from a rough idea to a polished implementation without waiting for a perfect spec. You think in systems: performance, edge cases, instrumentation, maintainability.

You use AI tools daily to accelerate your work — not as a crutch, but as leverage. Experience with Figma or similar design tools for rapid prototyping. You care about accessibility and inclusive UX.

You’ve built interactions and motion that feel good, not just functional. You read fiction, build worlds, or create things for fun. #J-18808-Ljbffr
