Senior Product Engineer at Validus
Validus.nexus is hiring a Senior Product Engineer — our most critical hire. You'll function as a player-coach across the entire product surface: verification architecture, AI matchmaking, Digital Twin, Capital Nexus, communities, events, business and investment opportunities, and communications.
What you'll own:
Product architecture decisions, feature prioritization, and quality standards. You synthesize inputs from backend, ML, design, and neuroscience into shippable, coherent product. You mentor the ML engineer and product designer. You set the technical and experiential bar that makes Validus credible to verified members managing significant assets.
This is not a feature factory role. You're building trust infrastructure — the system that verified founders, investors, and family offices rely on for their most consequential professional relationships. Every decision you make is visible to people who notice quality.
You should have:
7+ years shipping product at scale, ideally in platforms with network effects, verification, or financial infrastructure
Strong opinions on product architecture, loosely held — and the ability to ship fast while maintaining quality
Experience mentoring engineers and designers
Comfort working across the full stack — you don't need to write every line, but you need to understand every layer
A bias toward clarity, simplicity, and outcomes over process
