I’m currently working with a profitable, fast-growing tech company building an AI-powered platform used by global organisations (across tech, consumer, and non-profits). They’re now hiring a Lead Product Engineer - this is a high-impact role for someone who could easily be a founding engineer elsewhere. This is a hands-on senior IC role where you’ll: Write production code daily (not a step-back leadership role) Define architecture across backend, frontend, and AI systems Help decide what gets built - not just how Drive technical direction and roadmap (12–24 months) Work directly with customers to shape the product Think: technical leader builder product thinker Requirements: Strong full-stack experience (backend depth essential) Experience building complex systems in production Hands-on experience with LLMs / AI products Proven ability to make architecture decisions Comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments Startup / founding engineer background Experience scaling early-stage products Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, LLMs, agent systems, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, GCP Why this role stands out: Real ownership and influence Profitable company → equity is meaningful Fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environment Building a genuinely new AI product category
