at applike group

• Job title: Product Engineer
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Junior, Mid level
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Tech skills: React, React Native, Go
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Hamburg, Germany

About the role

• Product Engineer developing features and utilizing AI tools at justDice. Responsible for end-to-end feature development and collaborating within a small team in Hamburg.

Responsibilities

• Own feature development end-to-end: scoping, building, shipping, iterating.
• Maintain and extend existing codebases with a focus on quality and speed.
• Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) as your primary development workflow — the expectation is that you multiply your own output through these tools.
• Flag gaps or ambiguity in requirements before they become problems — write lightweight specs when needed.
• Read and interpret product metrics to understand how features are actually performing.
• Bring technical perspective to product discussions — not because it’s a separate responsibility, but because you naturally care about the outcome.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of full-stack development experience with shipped products (React Native on the frontend is required & Golang on the backend is preferred).
• Genuine, daily fluency with at least one AI coding tool — and a track record of using that fluency to actually ship more, not just code more comfortably.
• Product curiosity. You think about whether a feature is working, not just whether it’s deployed. You have opinions about what to build next, not just how to build it.
• Comfortable working in a small team with minimal process overhead — you create your own structure.
• Strongly preferred: Experience in gaming, consumer apps, or any product where user retention is the core metric.
• Nice to have: Prior exposure to product thinking — even informally: owning a feature roadmap, writing a PRD, running a side project.
