Product Engineer (Software Engineer)

YC-backed, OpenAI-partnered startup in London is hiring a product-first engineer who couldn’t care less about “frontend” vs “backend.” They’re building AI-native dev tools from a slick Hoxton office (free lunch included), and they move fast without turning your life into a burnout meme. If you like real ownership, minimal process, and working on stuff you’d actually use yourself, this team’s worth a look.

What you’ll actually do:

• Build full-stack features across React, Next.js, and Node

• Design intuitive workflows that don’t make devs cry

• Ship fast, fix things fast, and repeat (with dignity)

• Work directly with other engineers and founders (who code too—wild)

• Help shape product decisions, not just get looped in “for context”

You should apply if:

• You’ve got 4+ years of hands-on engineering experience

• You’re fluent in JavaScript/TypeScript and don’t need a babysitter

• You care about developer experience like it’s your own (because it is)

• You can explain why that one line of CSS broke the whole app

Bonus if you've messed with:

• LLMs, ASTs, RAG, or codegen tools that don’t suck

• CI/CD, Docker, feature flagging, or anything that makes shipping less painful

• Monitoring tools that tell you what actually went wrong

Culture, but actually:

• New Hoxton office with daily lunch (yes, real food, not dusty startup cereal)

• A team that works hard, has fun, and still respects evenings

• Zero micromanagement, zero slack theatre, minimal meetings

• Competitive salary + equity, because good engineers aren’t free
