Product Engineer
Job descriptions don't tend to be very helpful. Here's some things you probably care about:
Everybody on the team is smart and down-to-earth. No jerks or egomaniacs. We optimize for talent density—the minimum number of smartest possible people.
You won’t spend more than 4 hours in scheduled meetings per week on average, including your team’s scheduled huddles and standups. We get most meetings done on Mondays to maximize focus time.
As the 4th engineer on the team, you’ll be ~25% of the engineering capacity—a huge potential for impact.
We ship a lot of good stuff quickly. We accomplish this because we expect ownership, a high bar for quality, and are very critical about scope creep.
We’re attempting to solve one of the only remaining truly unsolved problems on the web and we’ve found a wedge to actually do it. The momentum we have with our work makes it fun.
There are things we suck at, things that are broken, fires raging, etc. You need to be comfortable with that and be willing to make Trinsic better, while accepting that a fire might need to keep burning for a bit.
A little bit about our technical stack
Our team doesn’t specialize yet, so you’ll likely contribute across the stack. Our backend is .NET (C#), frontend is React, cloud is Azure, and use GitHub for hosting code and automating builds/deployments.
Our optimization for talent density means that we are eager adopters of tools like Cursor and other tools you’d like to use to maximize productivity.
A little bit about you
We try to hire people who will do the work of their lives at Trinsic. That person is likely:
A well-rounded product engineer who is primarily interested in solving problems and building a great company.
Has experience in early-stage and/or fast-growth startups. Ideally you will have contributed across the stack.
A great asynchronous communicator who is excited to work on a remote team.
Able to balance the pragmatic short-term needs of the business with the longer term roadmap.
Full of ambition and drive to make a dent in the universe. We love former founders and prospective founders (~half our current team are former founders). Past engineers have become founders who’ve collectively raised $10m+ or gone on to places like Coinbase, Palentir, Palo Alto Networks, Flexport, etc.
Knows they’re going to move the needle for whichever company they join—and therefore is excited about getting above-market equity as part of a competitive comp package. Read more here: 💵Compensation Philosophy
