You'll work across the stack (frontend, backend, and the glue between them) and work closely with cross-functional teams like product, project management, and leadership.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-QMGcdibn2o5S0jxheWZleoFmgAb">This is a generalist product engineering role and you need to have full-stack (FE and BE) fluency, and a product mindset in the way you approach development. You care as much about whether a feature solves the customer and users' problems as you do about how it's built. Our Expert Talent platform is growing and scaling significantly in the 1-100 stage, so your impact will be immense and have a great deal of ownership from day one.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line
