What is this role...

Bounce is seeking a Product Engineer, Growth to join our Lisbon office. In this role, you will help scale the Bounce marketplace by building systems and product experiences that drive user acquisition, activation, and conversion across our platform.

As a Product Engineer, you will take ownership of real customer problems and turn them into simple, delightful experiences across both backend and frontend. Much of the work focuses on scaling acquisition channels, building growth systems, and creating product experiences that help more users find and use Bounce.

A key part of the role involves experimentation and data-driven iteration. You’ll run A/B tests, analyze user behavior, and continuously improve conversion funnels and growth loops through rapid experimentation and product improvements.

We’re looking for a generalist who thrives in ambiguity, loves shipping, and enjoys owning a feature from concept to production — collaborating closely with Product, Design, and teams across the company.

How product gets built at Bounce

At Bounce, we focus on serving our customers and partners rather than solely on technological innovation.

We work in fast-paced 1-week cycles. Projects are usually scoped down to fit into one or two cycles. Projects are led by individuals, but are a shared effort across the entire team. There will always be aspects of any project that will require collaboration, feedback, and guidance—we expect you to ask for help.

An ideal candidate is excited by all aspects of this software-building process, not just writing code. We’re a small team that thrives off of individuals who can take features from an idea to live on production. This is not a role where issues will be assigned to you and you churn through them.

• Collaborate with global teams to support new product innovations and business initiatives, continuously exploring new ventures from both an engineering and product standpoint.

• Write high-quality code for our mobile and web applications.

• Assume strong ownership of products and services, and continuously improve and maintain existing code and architecture.

• Work in a fast-paced environment and shoulder the responsibility and commitment of the production environment.

• Work with Elixir, React Native, Expo, React, NextJS, and Typescript, and introduce other technologies when beneficial.

• Bring a passion for staying on top of industry trends, experimenting with and learning new technologies, and participating in internal and external technology communities.

Your profile...

• Relevant experience developing and shipping code for production systems

• Generalist that strives for velocity and loves owning a feature from start to finish by contributing across the stack.

• Proficient coding skills in one or more of the following - Javascript, Typescript, Elixir, or Ruby.

• Experience with frontend frameworks and technologies, including but not limited to React, React Native, Javascript, CSS, etc.

• Proven experience in building maintainable and testable code bases, including API design and unit/integration testing techniques.

• Commitment to creating an exceptional end-user experience, with attention to the smallest details that can elevate their interaction with our platform.

• Current knowledge of relevant technologies and an ability to implement them effectively.

• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines.
