 RCS Studio is a new product team building a brand-new offering and taking it to market. We operate like a startup within an established company &mdash; which means speed, ownership, and comfort with ambiguity are essential. This role is ideal for a strong engineer eager to take ownership of a system, build a new product from the ground up, and grow into technical leadership as the product evolves.
 
 
 This is a full-time, hybrid role based in the greater Chicago area, with an expectation of being in the office two days per week.
 
 
 
 The Role
 
 
 
 
 In this role, you will help design, build, and own the technical foundation of RCS Studio. You will work across the full stack, developing APIs, building product features, integrating with major brands, and helping shape both the technology and the product direction.
 
 
 You will be building new systems, shipping early versions of product, learning from customer feedback, and iterating quickly. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy taking initiative, shaping solutions from early ideas, and seeing their work through from concept to production.
