Product Engineer Jobs in the United States

Product engineer roles in the US are clustered at companies that have a working product but haven't yet built out a separate product team. Most are 10–80 person companies, past the founding stage but before specialization. The expectation is that you can both implement and decide what to implement: read the analytics, talk to the user, ship the change, and watch the conversion rate. SF, NYC, Boston, and Austin produce the bulk of US product-engineer postings.
