Job Description

About the Role

The Principal Product Engineer at Tiugo Technologies is a critical position that operates at the intersection of engineering, product discovery, and product delivery. This role is primarily focused on CKEditor, a renowned open-source rich text editor, and extends to supporting backend services and AI applications. As a key member of the team, you will contribute to the development of other CKSource products, with a strong emphasis on frontend components and shared building blocks. Your mission will be to identify high-leverage opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions, and evolve the best experiments into production-ready capabilities.

The role requires a builder mindset and comfort operating in ambiguity, making it an ideal fit for individuals who thrive in dynamic environments. As a high-autonomy individual contributor, you will influence product direction across CKEditor and CKSource, collaborating closely with engineering leaders, product managers, and domain experts.

What You Will Do

  • Solve high-impact problems across CKEditor and CKSource products, identifying opportunities for AI or automation to add value.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering stakeholders to clarify goals, scope, and success metrics.
  • Design pragmatic end-to-end solutions across the editor, backend services, and other portfolio products.
  • Prototype quickly, iterate with feedback, and evolve the best ideas into production features.
  • Build integrations and platform patterns (APIs, workflows, ecosystems) that extend product capabilities.
  • Influence technical direction and best practices across teams, helping others adopt new tools effectively.
  • Drive adoption of AI-assisted development (agents, reviews, testing, ops) to improve how we build and ship software.
  • Contribute to the development of frontend components and shared building blocks for CKSource products.
  • Work with teams across the editor/frontend, cloud services, and integrations to ship end-to-end features.

What We Are Looking For

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering.
  • Strong system design and frontend engineering skills, with hands-on experience in modern frontend technologies (JavaScript / TypeScript).
  • Ability to move from problem definition to architecture to implementation.
  • Experience with automation, workflows, or agent-like systems.
  • Hands-on approach and willingness to write production code.
  • Fluency in Polish and English (minimum C1 level).
  • Strong engineering judgment, including knowing when not to use AI.
  • Experience working across teams and influencing technical decisions.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with different groups.
  • Curiosity, ownership, and a strong interest in applying AI in practice.
  • Experience with AI in developer tooling or internal systems.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working on complex frontend applications or with developer tools.
  • Experience with rich text editors, document systems, or collaborative editing tools.
  • Background in content platforms, developer tools, or productivity software.

Benefits and Perks

  • B2B contract-based monthly remuneration (equivalent to $38,000 - $45,000 PLN + VAT).
  • Flexible schedule and the possibility to work fully remotely.
  • Professional development resources (up to 5 days of additional leave and $6,000 PLN yearly).
  • LinkedIn Learning access.
  • Extra leave for Tiugo Day – the company’s foundation day and your birthday.
  • English lessons with a native speaker and an online language platform.
  • Access to a mental health and well-being platform with 24/7 dedicated psychological support.
  • Private medical care (Enel Med or Medicover).

How to Stand Out

  • To stand out, highlight your experience with AI-assisted development and automation in your resume and cover letter.
  • Prepare to discuss your approach to solving complex software engineering problems and how you stay updated with the latest technologies.
  • Showcase your portfolio of frontend projects, especially those involving modern technologies like JavaScript and TypeScript.
  • When negotiating salary, consider the benefits of remote work, such as reduced commuting time and costs, and factor these into your overall compensation package.
  • Be prepared to discuss your experience working in distributed teams and your strategies for effective collaboration and communication.
  • Pay attention to the company culture and values during the interview process, and be prepared to ask questions about the team's dynamics and how they support remote workers.
