With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

• Anchorage Agentic Banking is Anchorage Digital's agentic payments product: financial infrastructure for AI agents transacting on behalf of humans and businesses. We are building a new product from a clean slate, backed by Anchorage's deep security, custody, and financial-infrastructure expertise. As a Product Engineer, you will own the customer-facing product surface — the workflows customers use to configure, authorize, monitor, and manage agentic payments, the backend business logic and financial integrations behind them, and the docs and developer experience that make them usable in the real world. This is broader than UI: you take ambiguous customer needs, scope them, ship them, and operate them in production, with no PM relay and no separate team to hand off to.
• We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Member of Technical Staff (Product Engineer) role:

Technical Skills

• Build full-stack product features spanning frontend, backend, APIs, and operational workflows in a compliance-sensitive financial environment.
• Design and implement backend state machines and customer-facing status models for payment and stablecoin flows.
• Create integration docs and onboarding examples that allow customers to self-serve without requiring support intervention.
• Apply strong AI-assisted execution habits to accelerate implementation while maintaining judgment over critical product decisions.

Complexity and Impact of Work

• Lead ambiguous, cross-functional product initiatives from vague customer need through scoped, safely shipped product change.
• Own the full product lifecycle — API design, backend behavior, error states, docs, and the customer conversation when something goes wrong.
• Define product specs independently, validate with team and customers, and drive to implementation without requiring PM handoff.
• Balance shipping velocity with the correctness and reliability required for financial systems handling real customer funds.

Organizational Knowledge

• Develop deep domain knowledge in crypto, stablecoin, fiat payment rails, and compliance-sensitive product workflows.
• Collaborate with customers directly to surface friction points and translate them into clearer APIs, better docs, or self-serve product surfaces.
• Contribute to scaling the product by turning recurring support and operational workflows into semi-automated, agent-assisted processes

Communication and Influence

• Write product notes, design tradeoffs, and customer-facing documentation that enable customers to integrate confidently and independently.
• Influence product direction by bringing customer signal directly into scoping and prioritization decisions.
• Communicate complex financial product behavior clearly across engineering, operations, and external stakeholders.

You may be a fit for this role if you have

• 8+ years of experience in full-stack development.
• Strong product judgment and the ability to simplify ambiguous problems.
• Ability to work across frontend, backend, APIs, docs, and customer workflows.
• Comfort with financial systems (broadly: crypto, fiat banking, and payment systems), compliance-sensitive products, or willingness to learn the domain deeply.
• Excellent written communication: product notes, integration docs, design tradeoffs, and customer-facing explanations.
• Strong AI-assisted execution habits, with the judgment to know which decisions to delegate to the model and which to own.
• Bias toward shipping useful, boring, correct systems over impressive but fragile ones.
• Comfort talking directly to customers and using that signal to shape the product.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if

• You're a tinkerer — you have cool demos and novel ideas.
• You have real design sense and a track record of delighting users, not just shipping features that work.
• You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
