[Hiring] Senior Product Engineer @BÆRSkin Tactical Supply Co. + Div Brands

Role Description

You take a business problem from the person who has it, work out what matters, decide what to cut, build it, ship it and measure it. Part Product Engineer on the core platform, part Forward Deployed Engineer working with ops, support, finance or marketing. This is a senior, hands-on full-stack role. We use AI to build products faster. AI product development is not the focus of the job, although some features may use LLMs when there is a good reason. Fully remote, EU or LATAM, with at least four hours of overlap with the team's EU working day.

This is an individual contributor role. Nobody reports to you and nobody will scope your work for you. You define the work and you build it. Engineering peers review your code and help when you ask.

• You own delivery for an agreed business problem.
• You agree the priority with the CTO and the business owner, then the scope and implementation decisions are yours.
• If a decision materially changes cost or risk, you take it back to the owner before you commit.
• If two teams want different things, the CTO settles it.
• You will often be the only technical person in the room.
• This role is the sharp end of getting us there.

Reporting line: Direct to the CTO.

Initial focus: One specific business problem, delivered in partnership with another business area.

The title means little. We picked "Product Engineer" because it is the closest label for the work. If your CV says Full-Stack Engineer, Technical Product Manager, Solutions Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer or founder, and you build things and get them over the line, apply. We hire builders and go-getters. We do not hire titles. The production engineering requirements below still apply.

Qualifications

• At least five years building software products, including both defining what to build and building it.
• Essential:
• Requirements from scratch. You can turn a vague business request into something buildable without waiting for a finished PRD.
• Scope judgement. You can explain what you cut, delayed or rejected, using the information available at the time.
• Production full-stack capability. You can build and operate a complete system, including relevant tests and failure handling.
• Modern TypeScript and a React framework in production. Next.js is preferred.
• Relational databases. You can model a schema and write queries beyond basic CRUD.
• Stakeholder collaboration and commercial judgement. You can work directly with non-technical teams, explain trade-offs and connect technical choices to business outcomes.
• A working AI-assisted development practice. Walk us through a recent example, including what you had to check or fix.
• English at B2/C1 minimum, with the ability to lead stakeholder discussions and write clear technical notes.
• Four hours of overlap with the team's EU working day.
• Desirable:
• DTC, retail, e-commerce, gaming or subscription-commerce experience, particularly checkout, fulfilment or customer support tooling.
• Embedded delivery, solutions engineering or founder experience where you wore many hats.
• Composable / MACH architecture, or Kubernetes, GCP or AWS in production.
• Open source contributions or public technical writing.
• Portuguese, because most of the team is currently based in Brazil.

Requirements

• Hands-on. You build things yourself. You can point to what you personally shipped in the last 90 days.
• Pragmatic. You know when good enough is good enough, and you can defend the corner you cut.
• Self-directed. "Here is the problem, figure it out" sounds good to you.
• Decisive. You make the scope call and own it, rather than escalating every trade-off.
• Commercially aware. You understand the product exists to serve the business.
• Direct. We say what we mean. No politics, no passive aggression.
• Coachable. You take feedback and something actually changes.

Benefits

• Fully remote
• Competitive salary with regular performance reviews
• 26 days paid leave
• Parental leave
• Training budget
• Genuinely strong colleagues, and no layers between you and the decisions
• A product you can change. If something is wrong, you fix it

What's Next?

Apply here with a CV. A cover letter is optional. If you write one, tell us about something you took from a vague ask to production, what you cut, and why.

This Role Won't Suit You If

• You need a PM, a designer and three meetings before you can start.
• You want to write the PRD and hand implementation to someone else.
• You want to be handed the PRD and just build it.
• You want a narrowly defined frontend-only or backend-only role.
• You struggle to tell a stakeholder no.
• Your experience is mostly large enterprise with big teams and narrow scope.
• AI is something you talk about but have not shipped with.
• You let Claude drive you. We want people who drive Claude. You use your brain to work smart. You do not dump a problem on AI and wait for something magical to happen.
• You rely on AI output you cannot explain, test or change yourself.
• Heavy process and ceremonies are core to how you work.
