Hi,

Workonomics is partnering with a tech-for-good company building AI-powered tools to solve some of the country's most challenging social problems.

Their first product is live on the Government's Digital Marketplace, has seen strong adoption and growth, and is bringing positive change to UK public sector workers every day.

The company has recently raised new investment to fuel further innovation and product development.

They're now seeking a hands-on Staff Product Engineer who:

• is already at Lead / Staff level (this won’t suit a Senior looking to step up)
• has broad experience as a respected engineering leader, setting tech direction
• can technically lead the build of complex systems across the full stack
• is pragmatic when choosing the right languages and tools for the job
• can convey technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• cares deeply about user outcomes and making data-informed decisions
• has a natural desire to collaborate cross-functionally and craft org-wide relationships

This will suit an engineering generalist who cares most about the problem being solved.

This will not suit an engineer wedded to specialising in one particular tech stack.

You’ll be joining a company that’s having a hugely positive impact on people’s lives, with a culture where you can be yourself, have fun, and progress rapidly.

If this sounds like you, please hit apply for more specifics about the company and role.
