The Senior Product Engineer will architect core applications, build system utilities, and ensure reliability as a hands-on technical leader, collaborating closely with the Product team.
Meridio is a remote-first company on a mission to make health benefits for small businesses simple, affordable, and accessible. We're growing fast — and we need a technical leader who can build systems that scale without breaking.
In this role, you’ll architect our core application framework, design the interaction model, and ship the foundational utilities that power our platform. You’ll be hands-on — writing code, reviewing PRs, and making sure we build things right the first time.
You’ll report directly to our Chief Product Officer.
If you love building systems that just work, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do- Build core utilities for B2B and B2C users
- Create a framework that makes both feel like one seamless product
- Anchor engagement so users can go deeper without being forced
- Watch real people use what you build and turn feedback into better experiences
- Leverage third-party integrations to remove friction
- Collaborate with Product on roadmap, scoping, and prioritization
- Share updates early and often
- Own the architecture and reliability of our core systems as we scale
- Both utilities live with thousands of monthly active users
- Support tickets drop by half
- Zero downtime during open enrollment
- Features ship in days, not weeks
- Key SLAs met (performance, reliability, latency) with no critical regressions on release
- Think in systems, not just features
- Write clean, maintainable code others can understand
- Believe simple solutions beat complex ones
- Know when to build and when to buy
- Explain technical decisions in plain language
- Thrive in fast-paced, distributed teams
- Balance technical excellence with empathy for end users
- 7–10 years building production systems
- Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Full-stack experience: strong backend (Python, Go, or similar) and modern frontend (TypeScript/JavaScript with React or comparable)
- Track record of scaling systems from startup to scale
- Experience with microservices and event-driven architecture
- Knowledge of security best practices and compliance (familiarity with SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements, or interest in building toward them)
- High-growth startup experience
Bonus points for:
- Experience with healthcare or financial systems
- Background in DevOps or SRE
- Contributions to open source projects
- High-growth startup experience in a scrappy environment
- 401k
- Remote-first culture with bi-annual in-person offsites
- DTO, parental leave, and professional development stipend
- Impact you can see — Your work directly helps small businesses access better health benefits for their teams.
- A team that has your back — We’re collaborative, supportive, and committed to each other’s success.
- Room to grow — As we scale, so will your opportunities to take on new challenges and leadership responsibilities. Clear path to grow into leadership as our engineering team expands.
- Work from anywhere — Enjoy the flexibility of our remote-first culture while staying connected through in-person gatherings.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
