Product Engineer (Software Engineer)

YC-backed, OpenAI-partnered startup in London is hiring a product-first engineer who couldn’t care less about “frontend” vs “backend.” They’re building AI-native dev tools from a slick Hoxton office (free lunch included), and they move fast without turning your life into a burnout meme. If you like real ownership, minimal process, and working on stuff you’d actually use yourself, this team’s worth a look. What you’ll actually do: Build full-stack features across React, Next.js, and Node Design intuitive workflows that don’t make devs cry Ship fast, fix things fast, and repeat (with dignity) Work directly with other engineers and founders (who code too—wild) Help shape product decisions, not just get looped in “for context” You should apply if: You’ve got 4+ years of hands-on engineering experience You care about developer experience like it’s your own (because it is) You can explain why that one line of CSS broke the whole app Bonus if you\’ve messed with: LLMs, ASTs, RAG, or codegen tools that don’t suck CI/CD, Docker, feature flagging, or anything that makes shipping less painful Monitoring tools that tell you what actually went wrong Culture, but actually: New Hoxton office with daily lunch (yes, real food, not dusty startup cereal) A team that works hard, has fun, and still respects evenings Zero micromanagement, zero slack theatre, minimal meetings Competitive salary + equity, because good engineers aren’t free Robert Walters Operations Limited is an employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates About the job Contract Type: FULL_TIME Focus: Software Development/Engineering Workplace Type: Hybrid Experience Level: Mid Management Location: London Contract Type: FULL_TIME Specialism: Technology & Digital Focus: Software Development/Engineering Industry: IT Salary: £80,000 – £110,000 per annum Workplace Type: Hybrid Experience Level: Mid Management Location: London FULL_TIME Job Reference: OPXU4V-4F94A10F Date posted: 7 May 2025 Consultant: James Wilson london information-technology/software-engineering 2025-05-07 2025-07-06 it London London GB GBP 80000 110000 110000 YEAR Robert Walters https://www.robertwalters.co.uk https://www.robertwalters.co.uk/content/dam/robert-walters/global/images/logos/web-logos/square-logo.png true #J-18808-Ljbffr
