Product Engineer III

OpenGov is hiring a Product Engineer to own a domain inside our ERP — the financial system of record for state and local government. You will own a product area end to end: customer discovery, the roadmap, the user experience, the build, the launch, and the adoption number. This is a new kind of role, born from AI's ability to handle execution work that once required three specialists. What AI cannot do is decide what matters, sit with a finance director through a budget cycle, make the right call in an ambiguous compliance question, or own whether a product succeeds. That is what Product Engineers do.

The shift to Product Engineering is primarily about owning the product — not becoming an engineer. The best Product Engineers are obsessed with the who and the why: who are these customers, what do they actually need, and what business outcomes depend on solving their problems. The how — writing code, building interfaces — is a skill you grow into using AI-native tooling. It is a career accelerator, not a job requirement on day one.
