Bounce is seeking a Product Engineer for New Verticals to join our Lisbon office.
This role will play a pivotal part in crafting new products that expand what Bounce can do for travelers — beyond luggage storage — and bring us closer to our vision: a world where people can live life light, without thinking about their stuff.
As a Product Engineer, you will take ownership of real customer problems and turn them into simple, delightful experiences across both backend and frontend. You’ll work on early-stage product surfaces, experimentation, and new flows that make traveling (and moving through cities) feel effortless.
We’re looking for a generalist who thrives in ambiguity, loves shipping, and enjoys owning a feature from concept to production — collaborating closely with Product, Design, and teams across the company.
At Bounce, we focus on serving our customers and partners rather than solely on technological innovation.
We work in fast-paced 1-week cycles. Projects are usually scoped down to fit into one or two cycles. Projects are led by individuals, but are a shared effort across the entire team. There will always be aspects of any project that will require collaboration, feedback, and guidance—we expect you to ask for help.
An ideal candidate is excited by all aspects of this software-building process, not just writing code. We’re a small team that thrives off of individuals who can take features from an idea to live on production. This is not a role where issues will be assigned to you and you churn through them.
Build and iterate on new product experiences across mobile and web, from idea → prototype → production.
Own customer-facing flows end-to-end: onboarding, booking, post-booking, and “make it feel magical” moments.
Collaborate with global teams to explore and validate new ventures, turning learnings into product direction quickly.
Write high-quality, maintainable code — and improve existing architecture as new verticals push the platform forward.
Contribute across the stack using Elixir, React Native/Expo, React, NextJS, and Typescript (and introduce new tools when beneficial).
Help shape how we build: fast cycles, high ownership, pragmatic experimentation, and strong craft.
Experience shipping production software.
Generalist that strives for velocity and loves owning a feature start-to-finish across the stack.
Strong coding skills in one or more of: Typescript/Javascript, Elixir, Ruby.
Experience with frontend frameworks (React / React Native) and a strong sense for UX polish.
Proven ability to build maintainable, testable codebases (API design, unit/integration testing).
Product-minded: you care about the end-user experience and the small details that make it feel effortless.
Comfortable working in ambiguity and iterating quickly based on feedback and results.
