Product Engineer (f/m/d)

- Full time
At justDice, we create mobile gaming experiences that reward players for their time and engagement. We move quickly, take ownership, and value people who bring ideas, curiosity, and a willingness to challenge how we do things. You’ll work with experienced teammates, solve meaningful problems, and have the freedom to make an impact from day one.
Note: This is a software engineering position.
Also this is not a vibe coding role, the person should be a technical expert.
We’re looking for an engineer who cares about what they’re building, not just how. You’ll own features end-to-end, ship with a small team and minimal process, and use AI tools as your default way of working. The title says Product Engineer for a reason — you’re an engineer first, but you have the instinct to ask why something is being built, whether it’s actually working, and what should change.
That curiosity isn’t a nice-to-have here. It’s what separates this role from a standard engineering position.
If AI tools make you 3x faster at shipping code, we don’t expect you to coast at your old output. We expect you to reinvest that leverage — ship more, think deeper about the product, and become a more well-rounded builder. You won’t be joining as a product manager, but the engineers who think this way naturally grow into product ownership — and that path is explicit and encouraged here.
If you’ve ever built something on your own time because you were genuinely curious — a game, a tool, an app, anything — we want to hear about it.
What You’ll Do:
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.
Who you are:
2–4 years of full-stack development experience with shipped products (React Native on the frontend is required & Golang on the backend is preferred).
Experience with backend & frontend engineering is mandatory.
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.

If you prefer 100% remote companies, applike is not the right place for you because we strongly believe in face-to-face collaboration. However, we did implement a hybrid working model where we are in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and can work remotely the remaining two days. Additionally, you get three whole weeks per year to work fully remotely if you want.
Our hybrid working approach involves being in the office at least three days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and the option to work remotely the remaining two days. Flexible working hours mean that we work Monday-Friday, but do not have fixed working hours. Just make sure to adapt to the rhythm of your team.
The headquarters of the applike group and all its subsidiaries are located in Hamburg, Germany. We do have offices in the US and APAC.
Well next to the fact that you are able to see and collaborate with your colleagues face-to-face, we have a super modern office that leave no wishes open: from Drinks & Snack, areas to work away from your desk to a fully equiped gym.
Yes, you can!
