About the role
As Swing's Product Engineer, you'll find the problems worth solving across our business, decide what to build, and build it, reporting to the VP of Engineering. This isn't a traditional engineering seat: there's no PM → Designer → Engineer handoff, and you'll work directly with Product, Operations, Customer Success, Sales, and Finance to take problems from first conversation to shipped software. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Product judgment: You ask why before deciding how. Without waiting on a PM, you'll define requirements, set scope, make UX and product tradeoffs, and decide when something is ready to ship
- Turning ambiguity into working software: Problems will reach you loosely defined, from teams across the business. You dig in, work out what's actually needed, and build a solution that works

As Swing's Product Engineer, you'll find the problems worth solving across our business, decide what to build, and build it, reporting to the VP of Engineering. This isn't a traditional engineering seat: there's no PM → Designer → Engineer handoff, and you'll work directly with Product, Operations, Customer Success, Sales, and Finance to take problems from first conversation to shipped software. You'll build full-stack features for school administrators and substitute teachers, the operational systems that run our marketplace, and the automations and AI agents that replace manual work. AI is central to how you work, not just what you ship, and the role is designed so one person with the right tools can do what used to take a team. If you want to own problems end to end and see your work keep students learning, keep reading.
- Full-stack engineering with a shipping record: You have 3+ years of software engineering or equivalent hands-on product building, and you've shipped real products that customers use. Here you'll work across the stack, from features school administrators and subs use every day to billing, timekeeping, configuration, integrations, and admin tools.
