Staff Software Engineer, Product (Florianópolis)

This is a remote role for candidates located in Florianópolis, Brazil. About LawnStarter LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $100M in annual bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services — operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform. About Engineering at LawnStarter We build in small, focused initiative teams: a Product Engineer working alongside a PM and a designer, supported by an Engineering Manager who helps you grow. You'll also work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering peers across initiatives in a shared codebase. The whole team owns whether the work moves its metric. AI coding agents are a force multiplier here — they give a small, senior team the leverage to ship more, faster, and at a higher bar for quality. We hire engineers who are wired for ownership and energized by shipping to a real marketplace with customers and pros on both sides. The Role You're the engineering anchor of an initiative — working as part of a tight team with your PM and designer, and alongside engineering peers on adjacent initiatives. You have a hand in the full lifecycle: shaping the problem, deciding the technical approach, directing AI agents to implement much of the code, shipping to production, and — with your team — owning the outcome. You're measured by impact, not by lines of code merged. When an agent can ship something safely, your job is to make sure it's done right and the metric moves. When the work calls for careful, hand-written code in a sensitive area, you write it yourself. What makes this role exciting: You ship end-to-end. From problem-framing through production to the post-launch metric review — you see the whole arc and own the result with your team. You work as a true product partner. You sit at the table with PM and design, bringing engineering judgment to product calls and product sense to engineering calls. You get real autonomy — with the right checkpoints. You make most technical calls yourself, with architect review on significant architectural decisions and fast input from peers. You operate at a staff bar. You're trusted to make the call, ship the hard thing, and stand behind the outcome. What You'll Own The technical approach — architecture, data model, integration choices, rollout plan, observability, and rollback strategy for your initiative. You make most calls yourself and bring significant architectural decisions to architect review; you document them, and revisit if the data says you were wrong. Implementation quality — the prompts, guardrails, evals, tests, and review loop that let agents ship safe, correct, production-ready code. Most lines will be agent-authored, and you're accountable for them — held to the same standard as the rest of the team working in a shared codebase. Cross-functional partnership — daily working contact with your PM (scope, tradeoffs)
