Job Description

Product Engineer

London (Victoria) · 3 days in office · Permanent

Our client is a newly launched, VC-backed tech business operating in a highly traditional professional services sector. Founded by repeat founders with a proven track record of building and scaling high-growth consumer businesses, they are using AI and automation to fundamentally reimagine how services in their space are delivered, and they are building the product from scratch.

The opportunity

This is a product-focused engineering role at the heart of the founding team. You will sit at the intersection of product and engineering, thinking deeply about user problems, designing clear solutions, and building them end to end. The platform you help build will be used daily by both clients and the internal team, so the quality of what you ship matters.

You will work directly with the founders and move fast, using AI coding tools as a core part of your daily workflow rather than as an afterthought.

What you'll be doing

• Building the client-facing platform from the ground up, covering task-based workflows, document handling, contract signing and real-time transaction tracking
• Building the internal dashboard used by the team to review documents, manage approvals and oversee transactions
• Designing clear, logical interfaces for complex processes and making the complicated feel simple
• Working across the full stack, from React/Next.js frontend through to the workflow engine and state machine underneath
• Contributing to AI agent pipelines handling document review and correspondence
• Using AI coding tools including Cursor and Claude Code as a core part of your workflow to move at speed

What they're looking for

• 3+ years building modern web applications, with a strong frontend emphasis and genuine interest in product and UX
• Strong command of React/Next.js and TypeScript, with Python for backend work
• Comfortable working across the full stack, able to build an API endpoint when needed rather than just consume one
• An eye for design and detail, with care for spacing, layout and interaction quality
• Experience using AI coding tools including Cursor, Claude Code or Copilot as part of your daily workflow
• Able to turn ambiguous requirements into well-structured, intuitive interfaces
• A background in fast-moving, product-focused environments with startup or high-growth experience preferred
• London-based with existing right to work in the UK (visa sponsorship not available)

Why this role

• Join one of the first AI-native regulated businesses of its kind in the UK with no legacy and no baggage
• Founding team with a demonstrable track record of building category-leading businesses
• Backed by respected VC funds with a recent funding round closed
• Real product ownership from day one with your work seen and used immediately
• Work at the intersection of AI, automation and a sector ready to be disrupted
