Product Engineer
During my calls with this YC client, one of their engineers told me he had barely written code for weeks. Instead, he’d been finding users, running discovery, analysing what he heard, and working with the CEO on what to build next.
That told me almost everything I needed to know.
This is a product engineering role for someone who wants ownership end-to-end. You’ll be expected to understand the customer, think clearly about the business problem, build the solution, and stay close enough to the outcome to know whether it worked.
The company builds AI tools for qualitative research, helping teams make sense of customer interviews, focus groups, and open‐ended surveys. They already have strong traction, and they are now pushing into a bigger opportunity around helping more teams do research well at scale.
They are looking for a strong generalist, not a narrow implementer. The right person will move comfortably between user context, product thinking, and technical execution, and will be happy working in a team that values direct feedback, low ego, and high ownership.
You’ve either founded something before, been an early engineer at a startup, or can clearly demonstrate founder‐like ownership in previous roles (shipping products end‐to‐end, talking to users, driving growth).
What they want
- 2+ years building and shipping web products.
- Strong React and TypeScript.
- Comfort owning work from discovery to delivery.
- Confidence using AI tools without losing code quality or clarity on what was shipped and why.
- Product instincts, front‐end strength, or startup/founder experience are a plus.
This is a hybrid London role with Tuesdays and Thursdays in the office, and the team generally leans in‐person. It will suit someone who likes being close to the work, the users, and the team.
Email anika@seekr.inc with the subject “Not just another engineer”. A CV is helpful, but it does not need to be polished. A few thoughtful lines on why the role appeals to you, plus a link to something you’ve built, is enough.
