Engineering Generalist - Product Impact (Full Stack)

Pocket is building a category-defining platform for ambient intelligence. We need an engineer who can work across backend + frontend to ship the highest-leverage product and growth improvements - whatever moves the needle. What you'll own - End-to-end projects: instrumentation → backend services → web/app UI → rollout & iteration. - Build and iterate on user-facing product features (activation, retention, paid conversion, core UX). - Design, implement, and scale backend systems: APIs, data models, pipelines, jobs, reliability. - Improve frontend surfaces where it matters (web product, internal tools, landing pages, onboarding flows). - Drive experiments: set hypotheses, ship fast, measure results, and harden what works. - Work closely with design, product, marketing, and support - and help unblock them with code. What success looks like - Shipped features/experiments that measurably improve activation/retention/revenue. - Reliable systems with clear observability (logs/metrics/traces) and pragmatic correctness. - Clean, simple architecture that stays fast to iterate on as the product evolves. - High ownership: you proactively find the most important problems and solve them. What we're looking for - Have strong backend fundamentals (APIs, DBs, async jobs, caching, performance, reliability). - Can comfortably ship frontend changes (React/TypeScript or similar), even if it's not your "main thing." - Care deeply about product outcomes and can translate ambiguity into shipped work. - Prefer shipping and learning over long debates; you can move quickly without breaking things. - 6–10+ years of experience shipping production software (startup pace preferred). What we care about most - Performance and reliability by default: profiling, latency budgets, graceful degradation, and pragmatic correctness. Nice-to-haves - Experience running experiments / analytics instrumentation (events, funnels, cohorts). - Experience building internal tools that make teams faster. - Startup / zero-to-one experience. Our stack (today) - Mobile: Flutter - Frontend: React (TypeScript) - Backend: Go + Node - Data: Postgres + Redis What we offer - Work directly with us and learn fast - Direct impact on how the company operates day to day - High-trust, high-responsibility environment - Competitive compensation
