About LawnStarter
LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $100M in annual bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services — operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform.
About Engineering at LawnStarter
We build in small, focused initiative teams: a Product Engineer working alongside a PM and a designer, supported by an Engineering Manager who helps you grow. You'll also work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering peers across initiatives in a shared codebase. The whole team owns whether the work moves its metric.
AI coding agents are a force multiplier here — they give a small, senior team the leverage to ship more, faster, and at a higher bar for quality. We hire engineers who are wired for ownership and energized by shipping to a real marketplace with customers and pros on both sides.
The Role
You're the engineering anchor of an initiative — working as part of a tight team with your PM and designer, and alongside engineering peers on adjacent initiatives. You have a hand in the full lifecycle: shaping the problem, deciding the technical approach, directing AI agents to implement much of the code, shipping to production, and — with your team — owning the outcome.
What You'll Own
- The technical approach — architecture, data model, integration choices, rollout plan, observability, and rollback strategy for your initiative.
- Implementation quality — the prompts, guardrails, evals, tests, and review loop that let agents ship safe, correct, production-ready code.
- Cross-functional partnership — daily working contact with your PM and designer, regular collaboration with engineering peers, and weekly check-ins with your EM.
- The initiative outcome — the metric the initiative was set up to move.
- A high bar for what ships — production correctness, security, performance, observability, and the experience for customers and pros.
Who You Are
- AI-native. You use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex daily on production work and have deep experience with agent workflows.
- Operating at a lead level. You are experienced in making technical calls, shipping complex features, and standing behind results.
- Outcome-driven. You measure success by whether your work moves key product metrics.
- A strong horizontal partner. You collaborate effectively with product managers and designers to bring engineering and product sense together.
- A force multiplier. You create reusable documentation, agent workflows, and evals that benefit the broader team.
