Job summary

Pendo in Sheffield is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to shape AI-powered product experiences from discovery to delivery. You will work full-stack with a frontend lean, primarily TypeScript and Vue.js, building polished, reliable features while considering latency and user trust.

You’ll own product judgment, validate problems with customers, and collaborate with a small team to move fast, yet maintain engineering quality. Hybrid work with in-office days.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience building with LLMs and AI agents in production or personal projects.
• Full-stack engineering with a frontend lean, including TypeScript, DOM, and backend reasoning.
• 3+ years of experience building and scaling web applications.
• Strong product judgment, including comfort owning ambiguous problems, shaping scope, and making decisions without a fully specified brief.
• Experience defining success metrics for a feature and iterating based on real usage data.
• Experience engaging directly with customers or end users to validate problems and assess impact after launch.
• Strong grasp of software architecture, design principles, and API development.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to mentor others, unblock teammates, and support the growth of the engineering team.

Responsibilities

• AI-powered feature delivery: Build and ship features that use AI to turn product usage data into actionable suggestions for customers. You will work end to end across the experience, with attention to quality, usability, and the unique failure modes of AI-backed products.
• Full-stack engineering: Own delivery across the frontend and backend, with a strong lean toward TypeScript, Vue.js, DOM-level work, component architecture, and in-browser data capture. You will reason about backend services and APIs while building polished, reliable customer-facing experiences.
• Product discovery: Help validate problems, shape scope, and test direction before and while building. You will join customer calls, test prototypes, and use real feedback to make sure the team is solving meaningful problems.
• Success metrics and iteration: Define what success looks like for the features you build and use product usage data to guide iteration. You will not just close tickets; you will measure whether the work is creating the intended customer impact.
• AI-enabled development: Use AI coding tools such as Cursor and Claude Code as a core part of your daily workflow. You will apply strong engineering judgment, review rigor, and accountability to AI-generated code just as you would to your own.
• AI product quality: Ship AI-backed features with careful attention to latency, hallucination, inconsistent output, and user trust. You will help ensure intelligent experiences are useful, understandable, and reliable for customers.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work directly with product, design, and fellow engineers in a small team where ownership and leverage matter. You will help make pragmatic tradeoffs against ambiguous, fast-moving requirements instead of waiting for a fully defined spec.
• Engineering standards: Raise the quality of the team through code review, mentorship, and unblocking teammates. You will communicate clearly, share context, and help others grow while keeping delivery moving.
