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.

This YC-backed, OpenAI-partnered startup is building AI-native tools for developers. Not a "copilot for meetings" or some Frankenstein prompt thing. Actual stuff engineers use to move faster and hate their job less.

They're now hiring Product Engineers who don't see themselves as a "backend dev" or "frontend dev" but as someone who just builds. The job is to take ideas, code them into existence, and ship. That's it. No thrones. No Jira empires.

• 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'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

• 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
