Product Engineer

Kforce has a client that is seeking a Product Engineer in Atlanta, GA. How You Will Make an Impact:

• Drive Product Strategy & Execution: Own the roadmap for your feature surface area; You will conduct user discovery, analyze behavior metrics, and prioritize what to build next based on business impact
• Bridge Vision and Code: Eliminate the friction between product requirements and technical design; You will translate highly complex financial and accounting standards (like ASC 842 and GASB 87) into elegant data models and intuitive software workflows
• Ship Production-Grade Code: Actively build, test, and deploy the features you define; You will write clean backend logic, design schemas, and ensure your code is secure, scalable, and auditable
• Amplify Through AI: Leverage LLM-powered development tools, copilots, and automation as a core part of your daily workflow to accelerate execution, allowing you to spend more time on high-level product design and architecture
• Own the Metrics: You aren't done when the code is merged; You will track feature adoption, gather user feedback, and iterate continuously to ensure your technical solutions solve real business problems
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related STEM field is required; Strong preference for candidates who have also completed coursework or certifications in business administration, finance, or product strategy
• The Product Mindset: 5+ years of experience in a product-focused role (Product Manager, Product Owner, or Product Engineer) where you routinely owned feature definition, user research, and road mapping
• Strong Technical Backing: 3+ years of professional software engineering experience; You must be comfortable diving into a complex codebase, writing reliable code in Python (or similar backend languages), and working directly with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MS SQL Server)
• Architectural Literacy: Ability to design scalable database schemas and understand cloud infrastructure (AWS) implications for the product features you scope
• Data-Driven & Empirical: Experience using product analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel, Pendo, Heap) and SQL queries to validate hypotheses and measure feature success
• High-Bandwidth Communication: Exceptional ability to articulate product vision to stakeholders, collaborate closely with UX designers, and write clear, concise documentation
