Job Description:

Workonomics is partnering with a tech-for-good company that builds AI-powered tools to address social challenges.

Their first product is live on the Government's Digital Marketplace, with strong adoption and growth, positively impacting UK public sector workers daily.

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

They are seeking a hands-on Staff Product Engineer who:

• is already at Lead / Staff level (not suitable for a Senior looking to step up)
• has broad engineering leadership experience, setting tech direction
• can lead the development of complex systems across the full stack
• is pragmatic in choosing languages and tools
• can clearly convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• cares about user outcomes and data-informed decisions
• enjoys cross-functional collaboration and building org-wide relationships

This role suits an engineering generalist passionate about solving problems, not someone wedded to a specific tech stack.

The company offers a culture where you can be yourself, have fun, and grow rapidly, making a positive impact on people's lives.
