Product Engineer - Full-stack

Senior Product Engineer (hybrid/remote, you must be UK Based)

We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join a small, high-trust engineering team building a next‑generation platform while supporting an existing live product for enterprise clients.

The role

You’ll own features end‑to‑end — from ambiguous problem to shipped solution — working directly with product, research and occasionally clients rather than building to fully specified tickets. Expect real ownership: shaping architecture, resolving ambiguous requirements, and being a source of judgement for the wider team. You’ll also scope work clearly enough to hand to contractors when extra capacity is needed.

• Backend: PHP/Laravel, microservices architecture, BFF (Backend for Frontend) pattern
• Frontend: React, SPAs
• Tooling: Jira, Confluence, GitHub
• Plus microservice‑oriented architecture and document databases more broadly, with heavy use of AI‑assisted coding, QA and CI/CD tooling (including Claude Code and Anthropic models) as standard practice

What we’re looking for

• Genuinely strong engineering ability across the stack — AI tools should accelerate a good engineer, not substitute for one
• Fluency with AI coding tools and an appetite to use them to ship faster, well‑considered work
• Sound judgement on abstractions and system design, able to spot when AI‑generated code is (or isn’t) actually right
• A track record of owning larger, less‑defined problems at whatever level that’s occurred
• Comfortable with genuine ambiguity, curious about the product and users, not just the code
• Strong communicator, self‑managing, proactive — brings ideas rather than waiting for direction

Practicalities

• UK‑based, must be employable via PAYE
• Remote‑friendly (current team is remote), though first day must be in person and some office attendance is encouraged, especially during probation
• Small team, minimal process, direct access to the people setting product direction
