Job description
Senior Product Engineer (Full Stack) Location: Phoenix, AZ or Remote (United States, excluding California and New York)
Employment Type: Full-time
Seniority Level: Senior. 5+ years of professional software development experience.
Salary: $120,000 - $150,000 USD + equity
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer who wants to own what gets built, not just how it gets built. You'll take features from a rough idea to working software in production: shaping the problem with stakeholders, writing the requirements, making scope and UX decisions, and building it yourself across the full stack.
TurboVets is building an AI-powered platform that helps veterans and their families access the benefits they've earned, including disability claims, education, healthcare, employment, and VA loans. The platform is free for veterans. Your work will directly shape how people who served navigate systems that have historically been slow and difficult.
You'll own product and technical decisions for the areas you work on, partnering closely with product and engineering leadership on direction. The role reports to both the Chief Technology Officer and the Chief Product Officer.
Tech Stack
Frontend: Angular, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Backend: NestJS, Node.js, GraphQL, REST APIs
Data: PostgreSQL
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions
Monorepo: Nx
Tooling: AI-assisted development (Cursor, Claude Code)
Responsibilities
Product
Turn stakeholder input, user feedback, and QA findings into clear user stories with testable acceptance criteria
Make scope, prioritization, and UX decisions for your area, and push back when a request isn't solving the real problem
Work directly with internal stakeholders, partners, and veteran users to understand needs
Verify that what ships actually works for users, not just that it merged
Engineering
Design and build full-stack features across Angular and NestJS/GraphQL
Model and optimize relational data in PostgreSQL
Implement authentication, authorization, and role-based access patterns
Integrate with third-party and government data sources and APIs
Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
Team
Review code and help raise the quality bar
Mentor other engineers and contribute to how the team works
Document decisions, APIs, and architecture clearly for people without context
Qualifications
Required
5+ years of professional full-stack development experience
Strong TypeScript experience; Angular and NestJS strongly preferred, though strong engineers from comparable stacks are welcome
Solid backend fundamentals: API design, relational data modeling, query optimization
Demonstrated product ownership: you've written requirements, made scope decisions, or owned a feature from idea to launch
Clear written communication in specs, pull requests, and async discussion
Comfortable using AI coding tools effectively, and verifying their output
Legally authorized to work in the United States
Bonus
Experience with Nx or other monorepo architectures
Background in employment, recruiting, benefits, healthcare, or other regulated or government-adjacent domains
Prior startup experience or experience as an early engineer
Prior U.S. military service or experience working with veteran-serving organizations
Who You Are
You take ownership without waiting to be asked, and you're comfortable making the call when the path isn't obvious
You can tell the difference between what a stakeholder asks for and what they actually need
You communicate clearly with engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike
You care about the mission and the people using what you build
