Job description

Staff / Product Engineer (Full Stack, TypeScript or Python)

London | Hybrid (3 days in office)

Large enterprises still run some of their most important operations through a tangle of emails, spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Simple decisions can take months and pull in half a dozen teams just to get over the line. This company is fixing that. They've built an AI-native platform that brings people, processes and systems into one place, automating the workflows that slow big businesses down and giving leadership full visibility of what's happening across the organisation.

Why this one is different

Serious traction. ARR is already into eight figures and has grown exceptionally fast, with global enterprise customers across tech, finance and retail.

Serious backing. Over $70M raised from world-class venture investors.

A founding team that has done it before. The leadership team previously built and scaled a VC-backed B2B SaaS company through to acquisition. This is their second time around, and they know how to scale.

A genuine growth moment. Over the next 12 months, the engineering team will double, the customer base will nearly double, and revenue is set to triple. Joining now means shaping the architecture and culture, not inheriting them.

A great place to work. Recognised with multiple awards for both growth and culture.

What you'll do

You'll own meaningful problem spaces end to end: from idea and scoping through design, build, deployment and iteration. Engineers here influence the roadmap, speak directly with customers, and ship to production multiple times a day.

AI is central to everything. You'll build agentic features that automate complex workflows for enterprise customers, and use AI coding tools and agentic workflows daily to ship faster.

The stack

TypeScript across frontend and backend, React, Postgres, and AWS serverless, with infrastructure as code and CI/CD deployment. Strong observability and testing culture.

Who they're looking for

Product-minded full stack engineers who care about what their work achieves, not just how it's built. You'll likely have:

• Built and shipped web product features end to end, across the stack
• A strong sense of what reliable, well-architected software looks like
• A bias towards ownership, and a pull towards the hardest problems in the room
• Comfort with ambiguity and the confidence to make decisions

AWS serverless experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

Python engineer? Read this.

The production stack is TypeScript, but the technical interview can be completed in Python and you'll be assessed as if it's your primary language. Strong Python engineers who are keen to work full stack are very welcome.

The process

Short intro call, a one-hour pair programming session (TypeScript or Python), a culture conversation, then a final in-person stage covering system design and engineering leadership.
