Project: PDO Innovation Space | Rapid Product Delivery & Experimentation

• Translate product ideas and user needs into working software quickly, then iterate based on feedback and evidence.
• Make pragmatic architecture and technology decisions that balance speed, quality, maintainability and scalability.

• 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with recent experience actively writing and shipping production code.
• Strong, recent Node.js experience and familiarity with the modern Node.js ecosystem.

• Comfortable working independently in ambiguous problem spaces and making sound technical decisions.

• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows, including AI coding agents, code generation or automated code review.
• Track record of taking a product from idea or prototype through to production.
• Experience working in cross-functional agile product teams with product managers and designers.
What Success Looks Like
You take an ambiguous problem, work with the team to determine what matters, and quickly turn it into a working product that can be put in front of real users. You favour learning through delivery and iteration while maintaining the engineering discipline needed for products to grow beyond the initial experiment.
