Associate Member of Technical Staff (L2) | Software Engineer, Product

About the RoleStyldod is an AI-first product company building customer-facing software across real estate, design, visual media, AI workflows, enterprise modules, and self-serve product experiences.

We are hiring an Associate Member of Technical Staff (L2) | Software Engineer, Product to build and ship reliable, scalable, and user-facing product features across the stack. This role is for someone who can take a defined product problem, understand the requirement, frame the approach, build the solution, test it properly, and carry it through release with light supervision.

This is not a narrow “ticket execution” role. At Styldod, engineers are expected to understand why the work matters, think through trade-offs, surface risks early, use AI-native development workflows responsibly, and ship production-ready work that customers can actually rely on. The PMS framework places strong emphasis on ownership, context, planning, speed with quality, production readiness, closure, cross-functional collaboration, and AI leverage.

What You’ll Do

Product Engineering

- Design, build, test, and ship customer-facing product features across web and, where applicable, mobile.
- Work across frontend, backend, APIs, integrations, data flows, and async workflows.
- Convert product requirements into clear technical implementation plans.
- Build features that are reliable, maintainable, observable, and easy to iterate on.
- Own medium-sized features or modules from requirement understanding to rollout and post-launch validation.
- Collaborate with senior engineers on larger architectural changes, migrations, and system-level improvements.

Frontend Development

- Build responsive, performant, and production-grade interfaces using React.js, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, and up-to-date frontend practices.
- Translate product and design requirements into clean, reusable, and maintainable UI components.
- Handle state management, API integration, loading states, error states, empty states, and edge cases thoughtfully.
- Ensure user flows work across devices, browsers, screen sizes, and real-world usage conditions.
- Pay attention to UX details, performance, accessibility basics, and product polish.

Backend & API Development

- Build and maintain backend services using Node.js, Express.js, and related frameworks.
- Design and implement APIs that are clean, secure, well-structured, and easy to consume.
- Work with database systems for data modeling, querying, indexing, and performance-conscious implementation.
- Build and maintain async/event-driven workflows.
- Implement integrations with internal systems, third-party APIs, AI services, storage systems, billing systems, analytics, and operational tools where required.
- Think through reliability, idempotency, retries, failure handling,



and data consistency in backend workflows.

Cloud, Reliability & Observability

- Work with cloud services used across the product and infrastructure.
- Help improve logging, metrics, alerts, dashboards, and operational visibility.
- Debug production issues with structured thinking and clear communication.
- Support deployments, rollbacks, release checks, and incident follow-ups.
- Build with production realities in mind: latency, scale, failure modes, security, cost, and maintainability.

AI-Native Engineering

- Use AI coding tools responsibly in day-to-day development for code generation, refactoring, debugging, documentation, test case creation, and code review support.
- Apply strong engineering judgment when using AI-generated code.
- Review, test, and understand code before shipping it.
- Use AI to increase speed and coverage, not to bypass technical thinking.
- Experiment with better development workflows and share helpful learnings with the team.

Cross-functional Collaboration

- Work closely with product, design, QA, growth, and engineering to clarify requirements and ship better product outcomes.
- Communicate trade-offs early around time, scope, quality, technical debt, and dependencies.
- Surface blockers, risks, delays, or unclear requirements before they become release problems.
- Make your work visible through clear updates, documentation, PR descriptions, and release notes where needed.
- Keep handoffs clean so work moves smoothly across functions.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production software.
- Solid hands-on proficiency in React.js, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
- Ability to build full-stack product features across frontend, backend, APIs, and data flows.
- Strong debugging skills across browser, API, backend, database, and production environments.
- Good understanding of data structures, algorithms, system design basics, and software engineering fundamentals.
- Ability to write clean, modular, readable, and maintainable code.
- Understanding of REST APIs, authentication basics, validation, error handling, and secure coding practices.




- Experience working with databases, preferably MongoDB.
- Ability to reason about edge cases, failure states, performance, and production behavior.
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools in real development workflows.
- Strong ownership mindset, especially around timelines, risks, blockers, quality, and follow-through.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Good to Have

- Experience with Flutter/Dart or willingness to contribute to mobile product work where needed.
- Experience with AWS services beyond basic deployment, including IAM, networking, storage, queues, monitoring, and serverless primitives.
- Familiarity with SQS, async consumers, queue retries, dead-letter queues, and event-driven architecture.
- Strong MongoDB data modeling, indexing, aggregation, and query optimization experience.
- Experience with production observability: logs, metrics, traces, alerts, dashboards, and incident debugging.
- Familiarity with CI/CD, deployment workflows, rollback strategies, and release management.
- Experience working on AI-powered products, image/video products, design tools, SaaS products, or high-traffic consumer products.
- Basic understanding of analytics/event tracking and how product usage data informs decisions.
- Familiarity with automated testing tools and practical testing strategy.
- Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment where product, engineering, and business context evolve quickly.
- Mobile: Flutter, Dart, optional but valuable.

What Good Looks Like at StyldodA strong L2 Product Engineer at Styldod:
