About the role
- WorkWhile is revolutionizing frontline work by creating a more flexible and efficient labor market.
- Workers benefit from same-day pay, free telehealth services, upskilling, and the ability to choose shifts that match their skills and schedules.
- We have the audacious goal to align incentives and solve inefficiencies in the labor market, disrupting the $650 billion staffing and recruiting market.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve complex, user-facing product areas end-to-end - from product definition and system design to implementation, launch, and iteration
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to shape roadmap decisions and translate ambiguous problems into durable solutions
- Lead high-leverage initiatives that span frontend, backend, and data concerns, setting clear technical direction and guiding execution
- Act as a force multiplier for the team: reviewing designs, mentoring engineers, and unblocking others
- Significant experience building and owning product systems end-to-end, with depth in either frontend (JavaScript, React/React Native) or backend (Python)
- Strong working fluency across the stack, with the ability to lead product work beyond your primary area of expertise
Requirements
- Proven ability to operate in ambiguity: framing problems, proposing options, and guiding teams toward pragmatic solutions
- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence technical and product direction across disciplines
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising team-wide technical quality (people management not required)
Nice to have
- Experience working on marketplace, fintech, or data-sensitive products
- Background in scaling early-stage products or evolving systems as usage grows
- Interest in shaping engineering practices and standards as the team scales
- We're a small and mighty team with senior engineers from Rippling, Stripe, DoorDash, Faire among others
- We value user-centricity, competence, speed, and having fun
- We embrace independence and take ownership of our projects, yet are also great team players
- We deal in outcomes, not projects
