We connect local businesses to customers with a suite of innovative print and digital solutions.

Job Summary:
BVM Digital is looking for a Senior Product Engineer to build customer-facing products and internal tools sold across 1,300+ local communities. As the first engineer embedded directly in Product, this is a hands‑on senior role with no direct reports, where your influence comes from what you ship, the standards you set, and the speed at which you turn ideas into production code.
You will bridge the gap between rapid prototyping and production engineering. Sitting alongside product managers, you will take fast prototypes built with modern AI tools and convert them into scalable, secure, and well‑architected systems. We are looking for an engineer with deep fundamentals who leverages AI coding tools to multiply throughput without sacrificing system design, quality, or performance.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, build, and maintain software across our core stack: AWS, MongoDB, React, Symfony, and Node.js.
Own features end‑to‑end, from technical design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
Establish repeatable governance patterns and engineering handoffs so prototype speed translates directly into launch speed.
Leverage AI coding assistants and agentic workflows to increase delivery throughput and code quality.
Partner with Product, Marketing, and central Engineering to set high standards for architecture, testing, and security.
Skills and Requirements:
10+ years of professional software development experience shipping production‑grade applications.
Deep Technical Fundamentals: Strong expertise in system design, data modeling, API architecture, and debugging distributed systems.
AI Tooling Mastery: Daily use of AI dev tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) paired with the judgment to review and refine output.
High Autonomy & Leadership: Proven track record of defining standards, managing early‑stage ambiguity, and communicating with non‑technical stakeholders.
What Will Make You Stand Out:
Proven 0-to-1 experience taking early product concepts to launch with paying customers.
Direct experience hardening prototype builds into production systems without requiring total rewrites.
Prior experience as the foundational or first engineer embedded on a product team.
Best Version Media participates in the E-Verify Employment Verification Program.
