Senior Product Engineer II - Publishing at Kit

This role is designed for a high-agency, full-stack engineer who leans toward the "Product Engineer" archetype. You should have deep expertise in building polished, user-centric frontends (React/Tailwind) while remaining highly proficient in backend architecture (Ruby on Rails). Since you’ll be working on the "Builders" team, a background in creator platforms or experience with rich text editors (SlateJS/ProseMirror) will make you stand out. The compensation is highly competitive and transparent, starting at $186,000 with significant perks like profit sharing, equity, and a uniquely supportive "paid paid vacation" (a $1,000 bonus just for unplugging). The culture is 100% remote and independent, offering a high degree of autonomy. You’ll be expected to own features from "ambiguous idea" to launch, making this ideal for someone who enjoys shaping product strategy alongside design. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have Senior+ experience (Level 4/5) and enjoy mentoring others while remaining hands-on. * Are a "bridge" between engineering and design, comfortable moving between Figma and production code. * Thrive in a remote, asynchronous environment and can manage core collaboration hours (10:45 AM – 2:00 PM ET). * Have a passion for the creator economy and want to help people earn a living online.
