About this role
DataCamp is building learning systems that empower millions of users worldwide with essential data and artificial intelligence skills. As a Senior Product Engineer on this team, you will take large, ambiguous projects from the initial idea phase through to release and iteration with high autonomy. Rather than working through a standard ticket queue, you will prototype, measure results, and collaborate directly with product and design partners to shape the technical direction of the platform.
Operating within an AI-native environment, you will rely daily on agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Codex, large language models, and AI application programming interfaces. The ideal candidate brings a startup mindset, expert knowledge of microservices, and a strong product perspective to build scalable, reliable services that serve a global user base.
What you will do
- Manage product and platform initiatives from initial conception through to measurement and iteration.
- Guide the technical architecture and implementation strategy for core platform services.
- Maintain scalable, reliable, and observable production services powered increasingly by large language models.
- Promote rigorous standards in testing, code quality, and long-term engineering excellence.
- Analyze user metrics and feedback to determine product priorities and feature roadmaps.
- Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and constructive code reviews to support team growth.
What you need
- Bring seven or more years of software engineering experience spanning across the full stack.
- Demonstrate hands-on background working in startup or early-stage, fast-paced environments.
- Possess at least six months of daily, practical use of agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Codex.
- Show expert knowledge in modern application programming interface design and microservices architecture.
- Exhibit a track record of independently driving complex greenfield builds and improving existing systems.
Nice to have
- Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and React
