We are looking for a Junior Product Engineer reporting directly to the CEO, who wants to grow in a product-driven environment, learn by building real solutions, and develop strong engineering fundamentals.

0–2 years of experience or strong junior profile with hands-on projects.
Solid programming fundamentals (logic, data structures, APIs).
Curiosity and willingness to understand the business and product context.
