Location: London (3 days minimum per week in-office)
Team: Product & Engineering
Type: Full-Time

About the Role

W Talent is proud to be partnering with an innovative and forward-thinking client in the [insert industry if needed, e.g. "insurance technology"] space, currently hiring for a Product Engineer to join their growing London-based team.

This is a unique opportunity to join an organisation where engineers are truly empowered. Every member of the engineering team operates as a Product Engineer - a hybrid role that combines software engineering excellence with a deep sense of product ownership, user empathy, and commercial awareness.

Rather than working through layers of product management, engineers work directly with users and stakeholders to define problems, design solutions, and ship impactful features. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in building high-trust, high-value software that supports core business operations.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and deliver high-quality features with full end-to-end ownership

Work closely with internal users (including domain specialists) to understand workflows and pain points

Scope features, assess trade-offs, and make informed product and technical decisions

Use feedback and product data to iterate and continuously improve your work

Build scalable, reliable, and user-centric software

Collaborate across a flat team structure without a traditional product management function

Consider business and regulatory contexts when designing and delivering functionality

Tech Stack

The engineering team leverages a modern and scalable technology stack:

Backend: Python (FastAPI), Node.js

Frontend: React, TypeScript

Database: PostgreSQL

Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Terraform

CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Pulumi

Monitoring & Observability: DataDog, Sentry

Data & Analytics: dbt, Metabase

Internal Tools: Retool

Collaboration: Linear, Slack, Notion

Candidates are not expected to have experience with every tool listed, but should be enthusiastic about learning and contributing across the stack.

Ideal Candidate Profile

A strong product mindset - focused on delivering meaningful outcomes

Proven ability to work autonomously and take ownership of end-to-end feature delivery

Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Desirable Experience

Exposure to environments without dedicated product managers

Experience in regulated or complex domains (e.g. insurance, finance, legal tech)

Ability to navigate ambiguity and contribute to both problem and solution definition

Why This Role?

True Ownership - Take full responsibility for the features you build

Flat Team Structure - Work closely with users and leadership

Empowered Culture - High autonomy, high accountability

Meaningful Impact - Build tools that support critical business functions

Fast-Paced Environment - Operate at speed while solving nuanced challenges

This is an exciting opportunity for a technically strong and product-minded engineer who wants to go beyond code - and play a central role in shaping impactful software from the ground up.
