Role summary

Gigs is building a novel platform and seeks a Senior Product Engineer to join one of its product teams. This role involves owning features end-to-end, from initial concept to production rollout, with a focus on shipping frequently and reliably. Responsibilities include working across the full stack (frontend and backend) using technologies like Next.js, React, and TypeScript, designing scalable and maintainable systems, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and infrastructure. The engineer will collaborate closely with Design and Product teams, contribute to system architecture, and participate in code reviews and working groups. A strong emphasis is placed on leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity and output. The role requires a pragmatic approach to automated testing and a deep understanding of system behavior under load. While the base salary range is $220,000 - $275,000, the final offer will depend on experience and performance. This is a hybrid role with a focus on in-person collaboration.

About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

Things We Care About

We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.

Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters.

Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission.

Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product.

Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information.

First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all.

The Role

What we're building at Gigs has not been built before. You'll join one of our teams to work on products like Connect, Dashboard or Gigs for Work, figure out the hard parts without a playbook, and borrow proven ideas that solved a similar problem. Within your first three months, you will start owning features from first sketch to production rollout.

Ship with confidence and urgency

Own features end to end. You plan, build, roll out and iterate features. You're comfortable deploying to production multiple times a day, in small, frequent releases.

Run what you build. That means maintaining our CI/CD pipeline, investing in monitoring and observability, and scaling the infrastructure. You carry the pager for what you have built.

Work across the full stack. You'll write frontend and backend code in Next.js, React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. You keep up with these technologies and push for upgrades.

Design for where we're going

Shape user experiences with Design and Product. You'll work with both teams daily, bring ideas that go beyond what we've already planned and challenge what is already there.

Build systems that match our ambition. We are growing fast, and our systems need to scale with us. You'll design them to stay maintainable as they grow.

Work as a team

Collaborate with candor. You'll work with colleagues across engineering through code reviews, RFCs and working groups. You care personally and challenge directly: you give honest feedback and welcome it in return.

Use the AI tools we provide. Multiply your output, experiment with new workflows, share what works and be honest about what does not.

Salary range for Senior Engineer: $220,000 - $275,000 (base salary) + equity

(The final offer depends on your background, skills, and how you perform through the process. We're open to considering mid, senior and staff-level candidates, which may result in an adjustment to the scope and compensation)

What We Are Looking For

We care more about what you've shipped than about how many years you've been doing it or where you've worked.

What you've done

You've shipped production web apps with React and TypeScript. You can implement common and advanced React patterns, you have deep knowledge of the component lifecycle, and you know what belongs on the client and what belongs on the server.

You've built and maintained software at scale. You know what breaks in a system when the load grows 10x, and you design with that in mind.

You have a pragmatic view on automated testing. You know what to test, what to leave alone, how to test it, and why.

You roll up your sleeves. If shipping your feature means working in an unfamiliar area, you dive in rather than wait for someone else to do it. For example, our work spans TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, RESTful APIs, Docker, Terraform, GCP and GitHub Actions, among others.

How you work

You enjoy building something new. Much of what we do has no precedent, so you're comfortable figuring things out, and you apply lateral thinking where others have solved similar problems. You stay curious about what customers want and users need.

You make AI a core part of how you work. You use AI extensively every day to build, debug and ship software. You build your own AI workflows to multiply your output and keep them up to date as the tooling evolves. You maintain a deep understanding of the codebase and take responsibility for what you ship, with the judgement to spot when AI tools are wrong.

You care about impact. You weigh speed against quality and can explain a trade-off you made and why. Everything you do is driven by business impact.

Nice to have

You've shipped and scaled AI features to production that real users depend on, beyond demos.

Work At Gigs

At Gigs, we value in-person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief. We support flexibility where it makes sense. Some focused work can be done remotely, and not every role or week looks the same. You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi-annual company off-site. Our offices are designed to feel like home-inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight-knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective.

What We Offer

At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan
