Product Partnership Engineer
Job description
About the role
This role combines engineering, product, and enterprise relationship work to expand Lovable's ecosystem and enterprise adoption through strategic partnerships. You will operate at the intersection of product and technology, working directly with enterprise partners to design, validate, and deliver high-impact integrations. The position emphasizes fast execution, technical depth, and driving alignment across teams to accelerate growth.
Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.
Key facts
What you'll do
Strategic partners receive dedicated ownership to create urgency, alignment, and executive-level momentum. Independent assessment of partner architectures, APIs, and integration points uncovers high-impact opportunities, validates feasibility, and highlights risks or blockers early. Shaping requirements through early prototypes accelerates decision-making and reduces engineering effort without awaiting complete specifications.
Requirements
You bring 5+ years in Partner Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or as a technical founder/CTO within high-velocity environments. Fluency in modern frontend technologies such as React and TypeScript, or backend technologies such as Golang and Rust, supports your integration work. A track record of structuring and executing product-centric partnerships with real technical depth defines your experience. You are genuinely technical, comfortable reading documentation, understanding cloud architectures, and forming independent views on integration feasibility. Strong enterprise and commercial instincts help you navigate senior stakeholders, negotiate, build relationships, and manage complex deals while maintaining technical credibility. High agency and a bias for action lead you to prototype first and refine later rather than waiting for complete specifications.
Practical notes
The role is based OnSite in San Francisco and requires an employment location there. You will work full-time during standard business hours as a member of a small, talent-dense team based in Stockholm. Application materials must be in English, and you should apply through the official careers portal. Typical interview steps
Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.
Good to know
Technical founders and operators often transition into partnership-focused roles to scale platform ecosystems. Cross-functional collaboration is central to turning strategic ideas into shipped integrations. Fast-paced environments reward bias for action and clear communication across stakeholders. Cloud architectures and modern frontend and backend toolchains support integration work. Independent assessment of feasibility reduces risk and accelerates delivery. Clear business cases link technical opportunities to long-term value for partners and customers.
Career growth
Engineering careers usually progress from individual contributor to senior, staff, and principal levels. Some engineers move into management and lead teams of five to twenty people. Others stay on the technical track. Growth follows demonstrated impact, not tenure alone. A typical engineering ladder has clear levels with defined expectations for scope, quality, and mentorship. Moving up usually requires owning outcomes end to end rather than completing assigned tickets.
