The Product Engineer supports LGNDX teams by building and shipping customer-ready software end to end. This role is intentionally broad: the trainee will contribute to real projects while developing depth in one of three pathways—Full-Stack Product, Platform/Infrastructure, or ML/AI—based on project needs and the trainee’s strengths. Across pathways, the Product Engineer works closely with product, design, and engineering to deliver measurable outcomes with strong quality, reliability, and secure engineering practices.
