About the role

About Stealth Company
Founded in 2022, we were born out of our desire for a product to find opportunities to optimize and make managing cloud data costs easier. After a period of research and consultation with other practitioners, we learned we weren't alone in wanting such a thing, so we set about building our company.
Skipping forward to today, we have over 150 customers, with a product built by a super-motivated, lean team talking to and shipping new features for our customers every single week.
What would I be working on?
As a tight team, we prioritize ruthlessly toward delivering value for our customers and make high-leverage investments in our codebase and platform to improve developer experience, safety and robustness.
As a Product Engineer, you will be focused on:
Identifying the right problems to solve, focusing on meaningful outcomes, and using your experience to make trade-offs that have the highest impact on customers as fast as possible.

Designing and building features using Python, TypeScript and React.

Engaging with future and existing customers together feedback that allows you to better understand what problems we can solve for them.

Taking end-to-end ownership for features from start to finish - from inputting into initial design and planning all the way through to implementation, testing, and delivery.

Using your expertise to iterate at speed, relying on strong instincts to pragmatically drive the right outcomes while balancing speed and depth.

Setting a high bar for collaboration, communication, and sound decision making. From well-written proposals and documentation to clear commit messages and thorough testing.

The kinds of features the team work on include:
Creating new cost management features such as forecasts, anomaly alerts and cost allocations to make staying on top of costs a breeze.

Developing reusable and robust UI components to make the cost exploration experience as seamless as possible.

Build new data visualization capabilities to communicate performance, query timing and efficiency in novel ways.

Building data pipelines and dbt models to surface new insights and opportunities to our users.

Improving the reliability & performance of our application.

What does success look like in the role?
Building a deep understanding of our product and the problems our customers face.

Owning features from conception to completion by talking to customers, planning and getting input from other team members, then building, testing and delivering an exception product experience.

Caring deeply about the quality and standard of work.

Balancing that with working quickly and staying focused on the goal.

Actively communicating and collaborating with the team.

Nice to Haves
Experience with the problems we're solving (FinOps and cloud infrastructure cost management, data warehouse management and observability).

Experience working in an early-stage startup environment.

Anything else I should know?
We are fully remote, though aim to work as collaboratively as possible.

We meet daily for our team standup, as well as with ad-hoc code pairing sessions throughout the day.

We're big on work-life balance. Your evenings and weekends are always yours.

We aim to get together in person twice per year.
