Job description

Senior Product Engineer | Python | £650/day | Outside IR35 | 6 Months

Shoreditch, London - 5 days onsite

I’m looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join a fast-moving, early-stage technology business building an ambitious AI-enabled consumer healthcare platform.

This is a hands-on, full-stack product engineering role with Python at its core. You’ll own problems end-to-end, working across APIs, asynchronous data processing, databases, integrations, infrastructure and customer-facing applications.

You’ll be joining at an early stage, working closely with the CTO and engineering, product and design teams to take ideas from initial problem through to production, customer feedback and iteration.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years’ software engineering experience
• Excellent commercial Python engineering skills
• Strong experience with asynchronous systems, concurrent/background processing or data-processing workflows
• Experience building and shipping customer-facing products
• Genuine zero-to-one experience, taking new products or major features from idea to production
• Strong product judgement and the ability to work with loosely defined problems
• Comfortable working across the stack, including a modern frontend framework such as React
• Strong ownership and autonomy in an early-stage or fast-moving environment
• Comfortable using modern AI development tools to accelerate engineering
• Experience with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, GCP, React Native, AI-enabled products or regulated environments such as healthcare/fintech would be particularly useful.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to pick up well-defined tickets. They’re looking for an engineer who enjoys understanding the customer problem, deciding what should be built and taking responsibility for getting it into users’ hands.

Please note: this role is onsite in Shoreditch five days per week.
