Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Product Engineer II role sits at a particularly SaaS-native intersection: product analytics, activation, and integrations. The remit spans audience discovery, journey visualization, and moving data across external destinations—areas where modern SaaS platforms differentiate through ecosystem connectivity and trustworthy, usable data. The scale referenced (hundreds of petabytes processed monthly and 100+ integrations) signals a mature, enterprise-grade environment where reliability and platform design matter as much as feature delivery.
From a SaaS career perspective, the work builds durable leverage: designing self-serve experiences for data connection management, shaping APIs that other systems depend on, and balancing real-time and batch pipelines. The stack mix (TypeScript/React/GraphQL on the surface; Python/Java services underneath) is representative of many product-led SaaS companies, making the experience portable across analytics, data infrastructure, and platform product teams. Ownership from ideation through launch also maps to how SaaS organizations measure engineering impact.
This is best suited to someone who enjoys full-stack problem framing with a front-end lens, but is comfortable reasoning about backend contracts and data flows. It will fit engineers who like cross-functional iteration with product/design and who prefer work where UX details and system design trade-offs are both first-class concerns.
