Job Description
Note: This is a software engineering position
We’re looking for an engineer who cares about what they’re building, not just how. You’ll own features end-to-end,
ship with a small team and minimal process, and use AI tools as your default way of working. The title says Product
Engineer for a reason — you’re an engineer first, but you have the instinct to ask why something is being built,
whether it’s actually working, and what should change. That curiosity isn’t a nice-to-have here. It’s what separates
this role from a standard engineering position.
If AI tools make you 3x faster at shipping code, we don’t expect you to coast at your old output. We expect you to
reinvest that leverage — ship more, think deeper about the product, and become a more well-rounded builder. You
won’t be joining as a product manager, but the engineers who think this way naturally grow into product ownership
— and that path is explicit and encouraged here.
If you’ve ever built something on your own time because you were genuinely curious — a game, a tool, an app,
anything — we want to hear about it.
What You’ll Do:
- Own feature development end-to-end: scoping, building, shipping, iterating.
- Maintain and extend existing codebases with a focus on quality and speed.
- Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as your primary development workflow — the expectation
is that you multiply your own output through these tools.
- Flag gaps or ambiguity in requirements before they become problems — write lightweight specs when needed.
- Read and interpret product metrics to understand how features are actually performing.
- Bring technical perspective to product discussions — not because it’s a separate responsibility, but because you
- naturally care about the outcome.
Who you are:
- 2–4 years of full-stack development experience with shipped products (React Native on the frontend is required & Golang on the backend is preferred).
- Genuine, daily fluency with at least one AI coding tool — and a track record of using that fluency to actually ship
more, not just code more comfortably.
- Product curiosity. You think about whether a feature is working, not just whether it’s deployed. You have opinions
about what to build next, not just how to build it.
- Comfortable working in a small team with minimal process overhead — you create your own structure.
- Strongly preferred: Experience in gaming, consumer apps, or any product where user retention is the core metric.
- Nice to have: Prior exposure to product thinking — even informally: owning a feature roadmap, writing a PRD, running a side
project.

- Invest in Your Future: Regular feedback and our development program support your growth, helping you expand your skill set and achieve your career goals.
- Easy Arrival to justDice: From signing to settling in Hamburg, we’ve got you covered. Need a visa? No problem. Ready to build your new life and career at justDice in Hamburg?

- Join the Community! Participate in regular team and company events, including hackathons and social gatherings. We work together, and we celebrate together, too.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
