About the role

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, from discovery to roadmap, UX, build, launch, and adoption. This role focuses on ownership of the product domain and requires strong judgment, customer insight, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Define and communicate the product vision for your domain, grounded in customer research, competitive context, and business goals — not inherited from committee.
  • Conduct and synthesize discovery with government finance staff: translate what you hear into clear, defensible decisions about what to build and what to cut.
  • Own the roadmap: prioritize ruthlessly, explain your reasoning publicly, and revise it when new facts warrant it.
  • Define user experience flows and interaction patterns within the design system; escalate to platform and design when a genuinely new system-level pattern is required.
  • Build. Use AI-native tooling to move from intent to working software in the product repo, validate with customers, and iterate. Own your PRs through review.
  • Write acceptance criteria precise enough for automated tests to verify, and treat quality as a pipeline property rather than a hardening phase.
  • Partner with engineering leads and squad engineers to unblock builds and resolve ambiguity in real time without becoming a bottleneck.
  • Embed with Professional Services on implementations and migrations: run discovery, close the gap between what the product does and what the customer configured, and feed learnings back into the roadmap.
  • Track adoption, usage, go-live health, and business outcomes; use them to drive the next iteration, not just to report status.
  • Represent your domain in customer conversations, QBRs, steering committees, and cross-functional reviews — the full commercial picture, not just the feature set.
  • Coordinate directly with adjacent domains when a customer need spans more than one, and bring a recommendation rather than a question.

Qualifications

  • Ownership under ambiguity. You make good decisions with incomplete information and iterate faster than you wait for certainty.
  • Demonstrated product ownership with a track record. Product management, product design, or a closely adjacent role, where you shipped things customers actually use and can point precisely to what you owned versus what the team owned.
  • Depth in a complex, workflow-heavy, compliance-bound B2B domain. Financial software, ERP, accounting, or a comparably regulated enterprise domain.
  • Customer discovery you have actually run. You have conducted discovery, synthesized the research yourself, and changed a roadmap or a design because of what you learned — with a specific example.
  • Written communication. You can articulate a product decision clearly enough that engineering, design, services, and leadership all walk away aligned.
  • Willingness to build. Code fluency is a career accelerator; experience with AI-native workflows is a plus and willingness to become proficient is required.
