About the job
As one of the first Product Engineers at Pure, you’ll own key parts of our Vault Platform, from customer vault accounts to the systems our operations team uses to receive, verify, store, and ship high-value physical assets. You’ll help decide what to build, make technical decisions, and stay responsible for how your work performs after launch. You’ll work directly with operations, customer support, compliance, and partners to understand their needs and turn them into working software.
What You’ll Do
• Take ownership of products and services from the initial idea through development, launch, and ongoing improvements.
• Build customer-facing tools for vault accounts, asset management, shipments, and transfers with TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
• Design and maintain backend systems for asset intake, verification, inventory, storage, and shipping.
• Be responsible for keeping asset ownership records, custody history, and movement accurate and traceable.
• Work directly with warehouse and logistics teams to improve how assets are received, authenticated, stored, and fulfilled.
• Build and maintain APIs, webhooks, and integrations that marketplaces, financial institutions, and other partners depend on.
• Identify gaps in internal tools with Customer Support and Operations, and carry improvements through to completion.
• Work with Compliance and Risk to implement identity verification, permissions, and custody controls.
• Use customer feedback and operational data to set priorities and measure whether your changes solve the problem.
• Make technical decisions across the stack and take responsibility for reliability, maintenance, and delivery.
Who You Are
• You have 3+ years of experience building software products, ideally at a startup.
• You’re comfortable owning a product area, deciding what needs attention, and seeing work through without waiting for a detailed specification.
• You have strong experience with TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
• You’ve built backend APIs and services with Node.js or a similar stack, using PostgreSQL.
• You enjoy understanding how people work and building software that makes their jobs easier.
• You can design systems that keep records accurate, enforce permissions, and make changes easy to trace.
• You communicate clearly with engineers, operations teams, customer support, and business partners.
• You take responsibility for what you ship, follow up on how it’s used, and address problems when they come up.
Bonus
• Experience building logistics, warehouse management, inventory, or fulfillment systems.
• Experience building developer platforms, APIs, OAuth integrations, or webhook infrastructure.
• Experience with event-driven systems and workflow automation.
• Experience building financial infrastructure, custody platforms, or software for regulated businesses.
• Experience designing audit trails, permission systems, or safeguards for data integrity.
What We Offer
• Flexible work arrangements: remote, hybrid, or in-office in Los Angeles
• Medical and dental coverage
• 401(k) with employer match
• Daily lunches and a wellness stipend
