• 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 • A product-minded approach to engineering — you care deeply about user outcomes, not just technical elegance • 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) • 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 • Engineering @ WorkWhile • 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 • Read more about our team at https://tech.workwhile.ai/ https://tech.workwhile.ai/?utm_source=dover&utm_medium=job-posting&utm_campaign=candidate-search

Benefits
• Hybrid work culture with office hubs in SF, NY, Seattle & Toronto • In-person company offsites • Medical, dental, & vision coverage • Flexible time off • 401(k) with employer match • WFH stipend to support your home office needs • WorkWhile has a diverse, mission-driven, and supportive culture—we look for people who want to take ownership, are energized by ambiguity, and strive to make a lasting impact.
