We offer you an influential role in a fast-growing company:

Our Recruiter Product team designs, builds, and continuously advances the B2B-facing side of our marketplace: We empower recruiters from companies across all sizes and industries to fill their open roles with just the right talent - and simultaneously, help talent find just the right jobs for themselves.

As a Software Engineer - Product Engineer, you will go beyond traditional software engineering. You will own initiatives end-to-end - from understanding user pain points and designing solutions, through implementation and release, all the way to measuring impact. Your work will span solution design, stakeholder alignment, technical implementation, and delivery, giving you true ownership of the outcomes you create.

At HeyJobs, we invest heavily in leveraging AI-augmented software engineering tooling to increase time to market and impact significantly. You will be using the latest tooling (currently Claude Code and your IDE of choice, including Cursor or Github Copilot) and adopting it for new workflows and use cases, as well as adopting it for emerging ones. As part of your journey with us, you will grow further into an AI-accelerated Product Engineer that significantly punches above their own weight.

In this role, you can earn an annual target salary between 57.000 - 72.000 €. Your personal development and promotion opportunities are also guaranteed with us.
