Full Stack Engineer

Senior Full Stack Engineer (Product-Focused)

London (5 days onsite) | £120,000–£150,000 + Equity

We're working with one of Europe's fastest-growing AI startups, backed by top-tier investors and preparing for their next major growth phase.

They've built a product customers genuinely depend on, achieved strong commercial traction, and are now looking for exceptional engineers who want to own products end-to-end rather than simply execute tickets.

This is an opportunity to join a small, high-calibre team where engineering, product thinking, and customer impact are deeply intertwined.

The Opportunity

This isn't a role where requirements are handed down from product managers and engineers operate in silos.

You'll work directly with users, understand problems firsthand, design solutions, write code, and measure the impact of what you've built.

You'll help shape the future of a product already being used by major enterprise customers and contribute to solving complex real-world problems using modern AI systems.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Building and shipping full-stack features from concept through to production
  • Working directly with customers to understand workflows and pain points
  • Designing scalable systems and product architecture
  • Building AI-powered user experiences and workflows
  • Collaborating closely with founders and senior leadership on product direction
  • Making high-impact technical decisions in a fast-moving environment
  • Taking ownership of problems, not just tasks

We're Looking For

  • 4–8 years of software engineering experience
  • Strong full-stack development experience
  • Excellent TypeScript skills
  • Experience with modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js or similar)
  • Experience building backend systems (Node.js, NestJS or similar)
  • Strong product intuition and customer empathy
  • Proven ability to operate autonomously and drive outcomes
  • Experience working in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments

Particularly Interesting Backgrounds

  • Founding Engineers
  • Early engineering hires at VC-backed startups
  • Former startup founders
  • Product Engineers who have owned major customer-facing features
  • Engineers who have worked closely with customers and business stakeholders

You'll Thrive Here If You

  • Care about shipping products more than protecting your scope
  • Enjoy solving ambiguous problems
  • Like speaking to users and understanding real-world workflows
  • Want significant ownership and influence
  • Prefer building things from first principles rather than maintaining legacy systems
  • Are excited by the pace and energy of an ambitious startup

Package

  • £120,000–£150,000 base salary
  • Meaningful equity package
  • Opportunity to join at a pivotal stage of company growth
  • Direct access to founders and decision-makers
  • Work alongside a highly ambitious, high-performing team

If you're the type of engineer who wants to build products, not just code features, we'd love to hear from you.
