Job description

Job Description

YC-backed, OpenAI-partnered startup in London is hiring a product-first engineer who doesn't focus on "frontend" vs "backend." They're building AI development tools from a sleek Hoxton office (free lunch included), and they move fast without causing burnout. If you value ownership, minimal process, and working on tools you'd actually use, this team is worth considering.

What you'll actually do:

• Build full-stack features using React, Next.js, and Node.js
• Design intuitive workflows that are developer-friendly
• Ship quickly, fix issues promptly, and iterate
• Collaborate directly with engineers and founders
• Contribute to product decisions, not just provide context

You should apply if:

• You have 4+ years of hands-on engineering experience
• You're proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript and autonomous
• You prioritize developer experience
• You can troubleshoot CSS issues effectively

Bonus points if you've worked with:

• LLMs, ASTs, RAG, or code generation tools
• CI/CD, Docker, feature flagging, or related tools
• Monitoring tools that diagnose issues

Our culture includes:

• A new Hoxton office with daily lunch (real food, not cereal)
• A team that works hard, enjoys fun, and respects personal time
• No micromanagement, minimal meetings, and limited Slack distractions
• Competitive salary plus equity
