Staff Product Engineer

London | Hybrid | Full-time

Salary: Up to £125,000

We're partnering with a high-growth, AI-native consumer technology start-up that's tackling a large, complex and highly visible everyday problem at national scale.

They're looking for a Staff Product Engineer to operate at the intersection of product, engineering and systems design, owning a small number of high-impact initiatives that materially change how customers experience the product and how the platform scales.

As a Staff Product Engineer, you'll lead complex, cross-cutting initiatives from problem definition through to production, working closely with product, operations and leadership.

You'll focus on turning ambiguous, real-world problems into simple, reliable systems, shipping incrementally and measuring impact continuously. You'll also help define the technical patterns, primitives and "paved roads" that enable a small, fast-moving engineering team to scale effectively. This role reports directly into senior technical leadership and has clear visibility at exec level.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and deliver a small number of high-leverage, business-critical initiatives each year
  • Translate complex, fuzzy problems into clear technical and product plans
  • Design and ship end-to-end solutions in small, frequent production releases
  • Act as a domain owner across one or more core areas (e.g. frontend, workflows, infrastructure, data or AI-driven systems)
  • Define reusable patterns, libraries and workflows that improve reliability, speed and clarity across teams
  • Mentor and unblock senior and emerging engineers, raising the technical bar across the organisation
  • Produce clear written documentation to align engineering, product and operations

Tech Environment

  • Full-stack TypeScript, React, Postgres
  • Modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform)
  • Strong observability and monitoring practices
  • Data platforms and analytics tooling
  • AI-powered systems working with complex, unstructured real-world data

(Exact tooling is less important than strong engineering judgement and product thinking.)

What They're Looking For

  • Strong experience operating at Staff / Principal / Lead Engineer level
  • Proven ability to lead cross-team, ambiguous initiatives that move core metrics
  • Deep product mindset alongside excellent software engineering fundamentals
  • Comfort designing systems, workflows and failure modes — not just features
  • Enjoys mentoring, improving how teams work, and raising overall engineering effectiveness
  • Happy staying hands-on in code while influencing technical direction
  • Prefers smaller, high-agency teams over large, process-heavy environments

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
  • Health & dental cash plans + EAP
  • Travel benefits (cycle to work, season ticket loans)
  • High-quality equipment and learning budget
  • Well-supported, collaborative office environment
