About the role
About the Role
We’re looking for a senior product engineer to operate as a technical leader within Caribou — someone who can own major parts of the product and help shape both what we build and how we build it.
This is not a typical engineering role. You’ll act as a de facto technical co-pilot to the founders: driving architecture, shaping product direction, and translating ambiguous business problems into high-quality, scalable solutions.
You should be a highly experienced full-stack engineer with strong product instincts, a track record of building from 0→1, and the ability to operate with very high autonomy. You’re comfortable working solo when needed — across engineering, product, and design — and care deeply about craft and user experience.
With the rapid evolution of AI and LLMs, you’re expected to be at the frontier: leveraging new tools, paradigms, and techniques to move faster and build better products.
You’ll work directly with the founders and operate at the intersection of engineering, product, AI, and design — turning complex, ambiguous problems into elegant, customer-facing solutions.
You Will Be Doing...
- Leading full-stack development of core product areas from problem definition through to production and iteration
- Acting as a technical owner for major parts of the product, making key architecture and infrastructure decisions
- Driving product discovery: speaking to users, mapping workflows, identifying opportunities, and shaping what gets built
- Leveraging AI/LLMs pragmatically — to accelerate development, power product features, and rethink complex workflows (especially in tax)
- Collaborating closely with founders and domain experts to deeply understand user problems and translate them into product improvements
