Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the Product Engineer position at [Company]. I have [number] years of experience as a product engineer, most recently at [Current company], where my focus is talking to customers, prototyping, A/B tests. Two results from that work: - Shipped saved searches from first sketch to release in 5 weeks; 34% of weekly users now use it - Spoke to 20 customers before building import; setup time fell from 2 hours to 10 minutes [One or two sentences on why this company: a product you use, a goal from the posting, a problem you can help with.] I would bring the same focus on measurable results, and hands-on experience with TypeScript, React and Python, which the posting asks for. I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, [Your name]
