About Spotted Zebra

At Spotted Zebra, we're building something we genuinely believe in: an AI-native end-to-end hiring platform that helps the world's leading organisations find the right people, faster and fairer than ever before. In short, we're making hiring something everyone loves again - both talent teams and candidates alike. We're a multi-award-winning Series A company giving talent leaders the solution they've always needed.

What we do

Spotted Zebra brings Interview Intelligence, Skills Assessments, and AI Interview Agent together in one powerful platform, designed for intelligence and action. One powerful agent and assistant: Spot. Working the way talent teams need it to, always with humans in control. The result is talent teams get the insight to predict who will succeed, the speed to move before competitors, the governance to defend every hiring decision, and the capacity to focus on the human moments that matter most.

But our product is only part of the story. Spotted Zebra isn’t just building an AI-native product; we’re building an AI-native company. AI is changing how we build, sell, support customers and make decisions. We use it to move faster, stay closer to customers, reduce unnecessary processes, and give talented people more leverage in their roles. That means joining Spotted Zebra isn’t just a chance to work on the future of hiring. It’s a chance to help shape what the future of work looks like inside a scaling company: compact, ambitious teams using AI to collaborate better, make decisions quickly, and deliver meaningful impact at speed.

The FTSE100 and Fortune500 companies trusting us include British Airways, NIQ, Domino's, Lidl, Merlin Entertainments, AWE, United Utilities, and Paramount. We've been named Personnel Today's Talent Acquisition Supplier of the Year 2025, secured gold across multiple industry awards, and were recently named on the UK Top 100 Startups List. But what we’re most proud of is the team. People join Spotted Zebra because the mission is real, the product is genuinely exciting, and the opportunity to shape the future of hiring is huge.

What makes it special is the way we work: smart, committed people in compact teams where trust is high, decisions happen quickly, and everyone has the chance to make a visible impact. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to do your best work - read on.

Our Dazzle (That's Our Team!)

Fun fact: A group of zebras is called a dazzle – and ours truly is dazzling! We create a culture in which our team thrives and gallops ahead. As we roam free and empower our dazzle, we gallop ahead on the journey to achieving our goals. We understand this journey will pose challenges along the way, yet we brighten the trail with our positive mindset and encouragement of others. The dazzle continuously moves, gaining knowledge and skills so that we can graze new grounds.

What you'll be doing

You'll be joining Crimson, one of Spotted Zebra's AI Augmented Delivery (AAD) Crews - a lean team made up of a Product Manager and two Product Engineers. This is a role for someone who genuinely lives and breathes building for end users. You'll partner directly with your PM to shape and define what gets built, bringing your own product intuition to every conversation, and then go away and execute - owning the build out largely solo, with the support of your crew and subject matter experts in Data Science and Design, and seeing it all the way through to production. No long hand-off chains, no waiting on others to unblock you. Just ownership, momentum, and shipping things that matter.

Key responsibilities:

• Partnering closely with your Product Manager to define, scope, and prioritise features - bringing your own product thinking to the table, not just taking a ticket and running with it.
• Owning features end to end, from architecture decisions through to production, across the full stack (front end, back end, and everything in between).
• Leveraging AI tooling throughout your workflow to move fast, bridge skill gaps, and operate effectively within a lean crew.
• Writing and maintaining clean, well-considered TypeScript across both frontend (React) and backend (NestJS), with GraphQL APIs connecting the two.
• Collaborating with subject matter experts - including Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers, Designers, Data Science, QA, and DevOps - on an ad hoc basis as your work demands.
• Contributing to a delivery culture that values speed, ownership, and continuous improvement over bureaucracy and hand-offs.

Requirements

Must-Haves:

• Proven experience as a full stack engineer with strong proficiency in TypeScript and React.
• A product-oriented mindset - you care about the why behind what you're building, not just the how.
• Demonstrable experience taking features from concept to production independently.
• Comfort using AI tools (e.g. Cursor, Copilot, Claude) as a genuine part of your engineering workflow - not just experimenting, but integrating them meaningfully.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to self-manage within a small, high-trust team.
• Experience working in a startup or early-stage environment.
• Experience working in a B2B SaaS environment.
• Enthusiasm for helping shape how AI-augmented delivery teams actually work in practice - we're building this model as we go, and your input will matter.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with our broader tech stack, including NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, GraphQL, Apollo, or similar technologies.

Benefits:

• Meaningful share options.
• Health insurance.
• Enhanced pension.
• Nursery salary sacrifice scheme.
• 25 days holiday.
• Remote-first.
• Work from home budget.
