Headlines:

  • Role - Product Engineer

  • Salary - 80,000 - 90,000

  • Location - UK (remote only)

How you’ll make an impact:

  • Identifying and prioritising the right problems to solve , focusing on meaningful customer outcomes and making smart trade-offs to maximise impact with limited time and resources.

  • Owning features end-to-end , from early discovery and technical input through design, implementation, testing, and release.

  • Building and evolving core product capabilities , with an immediate impact on the reliability, scalability, and usability of our platform.

  • Iterating quickly and pragmatically , using your judgement and experience to balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.

  • Shaping technical direction in a small team , contributing to architectural decisions and helping define how we build and ship product.

  • Collaborating closely across the business , setting a high bar for communication through clear documentation, thoughtful proposals, and well-structured code.

  • Championing strong engineering practices , continuously improving how we work and supporting teammates through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions.

This job is for you if you:

  • Have hands-on experience building and shipping production software , using languages and frameworks such as Go, Python, or Ruby on Rails.

  • Enjoy working in small, high-trust teams , collaborating closely with other engineers and giving clear, constructive feedback to move work forward.

  • Take a product-first approach to engineering , partnering with Product to understand customer needs and prioritising outcomes and impact over purely technical perfection.

  • Are comfortable operating with ambiguity , contributing to early-stage thinking, helping shape solutions, and refining ideas as you learn more.

  • Thrive in iterative environments , sharing work early (even when it’s not “done”), gathering feedback, and adapting quickly based on input.

  • Balance speed with quality , making pragmatic decisions around technical debt, testing, and documentation to ship valuable features without over-engineering.

  • Care about building maintainable systems , and are thoughtful about how today’s trade-offs affect the product and team over time.

Even better if you have:

  • Experience designing or working with APIs , especially where data integrity, versioning, and backwards compatibility really matter.

  • Exposure to data pipelines or data-heavy systems , particularly where data quality, validation, or traceability are important (experience with regulated or sensitive data is a bonus, but not required).

  • Experience working in a remote-first team , comfortable collaborating asynchronously and communicating clearly across time zones.

This role is unlikely to be a great match if:

  • You need very clear direction or tightly scoped tasks to do your best work — this role involves a lot of autonomy and self-direction.

  • You’re most comfortable in highly defined roles and processes , rather than adapting as priorities, scope, and problems evolve.

  • You prefer working on purely technical tasks , with limited exposure to product decisions, customer context, or business trade-offs.

Research shows that some people are less likely to apply for a role unless they are 100% qualified. Your experience, skills and passion will set you apart so tell us about your achievements, irrespective of whether they are personal or work-related, tell us about your journey, and about what you learnt.

So, if this role excites you, don't let our role description hold you back, get applying!
