The Role
Build and deploy full-stack solutions directly with customers, owning work from discovery through implementation. Partner with product and engineering teams, advise customers technically, balance speed with maintainability, explore varied technology stacks, and ship user-facing features in response to feedback. The role involves React and backend development, database and API work, customer collaboration, and independent field execution.

Who are we

We're a tight-knit, collaborative team on a mission to make knowledge accessible to everyone in an organization — building the durable layer where decisions, context, and institutional know-how live so no one is left hunting through Slack or piecing together what happened.
If you love working where curiosity is contagious, ideas travel fast, and the work you ship tangibly changes how teams think and build, you'll fit right in.

In the field, you will
  • 🌍 Embed directly with customers to solve real, high-stakes problems hands-on

  • 🔍 Own the full arc from discovery to deployed solution

  • 🔁 Partner closely with product & engineering

  • 🤝 Act as a trusted technical advisor and primary point of contact for customers

  • ⚖️ Balance shipping speed against long-term maintainability

  • 🛠️ Explore new tools and stacks to match whatever environment the customer runs

  • ✨ Uphold a collaborative team culture while operating independently in the field

We're looking for fullstack builders who are energized by ambiguity and customer contact: people comfortable scoping a problem on the fly, building the solution, and deploying it themselves.

 
You may be a good fit if you
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Experience: 1+ years of experience as a frontend or fullstack developer, ideally deeply embedded with design and product teams. Track record of shipping user facing features end to end in dynamic environments.

  • Technical skills: Knowledge in React and some level of experience with one backend framework (e.g., Node.js, Django, or similar). Some familiarity with databases (SQL/NoSQL) and API design.

  • Product focus: Excited about shipping features that directly impact users and iterating quickly based on feedback.

  • Inclusive mindset: Values different perspectives, creates space for input from others, and helps foster a positive team culture.

Location & Work Authorization

  • Work Authorization: At this time, we are unable to sponsor new visas, but we encourage you to check back soon, as this may change.

What We Do

Product and engineering teams are stuck in coordination overload, spending more time rephrasing and translating ideas than building, forced to adapt how they communicate across tools and meetings. With flat budgets and rising expectations, traditional collaboration tools fall short. ProductNow is an AI platform that unifies workflows, drives alignment, and turns complexity into momentum, so teams can move faster and build smarter.
