About the role

You'll join Bounce as a Product Engineer in our Lisbon office. This role will play a pivotal part in crafting new products atop our platform and expanding the efficacy of the Bounce marketplace.

As a Product Engineer, you will take ownership of real-world customer problems, crafting intelligent and efficient solutions across both backend and frontend. You will have the opportunity to own projects in various areas, such as our consumer apps, growth engines, and partner tools.

How product gets built at Bounce

We build for our customers and partners first. Technology is how we get there, not the goal.

We work in 1-week cycles, and most projects fit into one or two of them. Each project has one owner, but the whole team pitches in. You'll always need input along the way, and we expect you to ask for it.

This role is for you if you enjoy every part of building software, not just writing code. As a small team, we rely on people who can take a feature from idea to production. You won't be handed a queue of tickets. You'll help shape what we build and why.

Our stack is Elixir, React Native/Expo, React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and AI is part of how we build every day.

  • Collaborate with global teams to support new product innovations and business initiatives, continuously exploring new ventures from both an engineering and product standpoint.

  • Work in a fast-paced environment and shoulder the responsibility and commitment of the production environment.
  • Work with Elixir, React Native, Expo, React, NextJS, and Typescript, and introduce other technologies when beneficial.
  • Bring a passion for staying on top of industry trends, experimenting with and learning new technologies, and participating in internal and external technology communities.

Your Profile

  • 4+ years of relevant experience developing and shipping code for production systems
