Job Description
We're reimagining a legacy system from the ground up.
As the Founding Product & Platform Engineer, you'll define the architecture, tooling, engineering culture and development practices behind the next generation of SGS digital products. You'll be equally comfortable designing distributed systems, building customer-facing experiences, creating cloud platforms and writing production code.
This is not a traditional architect role. We are looking for a builder.
You'll lead by example, making key technical decisions through hands-on delivery rather than governance. You'll help create the products that drive business impact while establishing the platform capabilities, reusable services and engineering standards that allow a small team to deliver at scale.
If you're excited by greenfield environments, ambiguity, ownership and the opportunity to shape something from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
The Mission
Your dual mission is to:
Build exceptional digital products:
Lead the architecture and delivery of our most ambitious customer-facing solutions, owning everything from frontend experiences to backend services and cloud infrastructure.
Build the engineering platform behind them:
Create the tooling, deployment pathways and reusable building blocks that allow engineers to move quickly, safely and independently.
As successful patterns emerge, you'll transform them into shared capabilities that accelerate delivery across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead by Building: Act as the technical lead on our most important initiatives, architecting through code and setting the standard for engineering excellence.
- Own the Full Stack: Design and develop solutions across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
- Build the Paved Road: Shape our platform (CI/CD, Kubernetes, IaC, observability) so other engineers ship faster and more safely.
- Turn Solutions into Reusable Capabilities: Identify successful patterns and convert them into shared services, frameworks, libraries and architectural standards
- Multiply Velocity: Continuously remove friction from the development lifecycle through automation, standardisation and thoughtful platform design.
- Mentor and Influence: Partner with engineers, product leads and designers to raise technical standards and encourage a culture of pragmatic, high-quality delivery.
Qualifications
What we’re looking for:
- Full Stack Mastery: Expert-level React/TypeScript on the frontend, and deep experience building distributed backends in Go, Python, or TypeScript.
- Cloud & IaC: Hands-on, architectural-level experience with a major cloud (GCP, AWS) and Terraform. You don’t just use it; you architect with it.
- Containers & CI/CD: Strong knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines built from scratch (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
- Systems Thinking: Proven ability to design scalable, resilient and observable systems.
- Product Mindset: Experience working closely with Product and Design teams to deliver solutions that users genuinely value.
- Observability & Quality: Practical understanding of monitoring, tracing, testing and operational excellence, including tools such as Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger.
Who You Are
- You have 10+ years of experience, with strong backgrounds in both product engineering and platform/SRE work.
- You are a builder first. You don’t run architecture review boards; you write the code that makes them unnecessary.
- You believe the best architecture is the simplest one that works, and that great products and great platforms are built by the same kind of mindset.
- You measure your success by the velocity, autonomy, and pride of the engineers around you.
Additional Information
Why SGS?
- Opportunity to work with a global leader in inspection, verification, testing, and certification.
- Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
Join Us: At SGS, we are dedicated to fostering an open, friendly, and supportive culture that thrives on teamwork. We value diversity and provide endless opportunities to learn, grow your expertise, and fulfill your potential.

Product Engineer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a product engineer in Washington?
Most product engineer roles in Washington require a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline such as mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Washington does not require a state license for most product engineer positions in industry, though obtaining a Professional Engineer license through the Washington State Department of Licensing strengthens your candidacy for senior roles involving public safety or government contracts. Internships with Washington aerospace or technology employers during school significantly improve entry prospects.
Which companies hire product engineers in Washington?
Employers hiring product engineers in Washington right now include Amazon, Meta, and Rippling, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Washington's aerospace, cloud hardware, and consumer electronics industries generate consistent demand, so large anchor employers in the Seattle metro area tend to post product engineer openings year-round.
Which Washington cities have the most product engineer jobs?
Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond have the most product engineer openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue drive volume through their dense concentration of technology and cloud hardware companies, while Redmond's established campus for consumer electronics and software development keeps demand high, and the Puget Sound corridor around Everett and Renton supports strong aerospace and defense hiring.
Are there remote product engineer jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely software-focused roles, because product engineering often involves hands-on hardware validation, lab work, or manufacturing floor coordination. About 71% of product engineer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the role's partially on-site nature. Systems integration, technical program management, and documentation-heavy product roles are the most likely to offer remote flexibility.
How can I get hired as a product engineer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or associate engineer programs run by Washington's large aerospace and technology employers, where structured rotations introduce you to the full product development cycle. Boeing's entry-level engineering programs, Amazon's hardware engineering teams, and mid-size Puget Sound defense contractors regularly hire candidates without prior industry experience if they have a relevant engineering degree and lab or project experience from school. Building a portfolio of capstone or personal hardware projects and pursuing an Engineer-in-Training credential through the Washington State Department of Licensing strengthens any early-career application.
Where can I find and apply to product engineer jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to product engineer jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current Washington openings across industries and experience levels. Search the listings, find roles that fit your background and target location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
