Senior Product Engineer | London | Hybrid£80,000 - £110,000 + meaningful equityTech stack:Experience across some combination of:TypeScript / Node.jsReact.js / Next.jsGolangPythonRustAWS or GCPMost B2B software companies talk about product engineering. In reality, many engineers still spend their time working through ticket queues, operating within narrow technical boundaries, and implementing requirements that have already been decided elsewhere.This isn't one of those environments.We're working with an AI-native technology company that believes engineers should play a central role in shaping both the product and the business. Engineers here are expected to understand customer problems, contribute to product direction, challenge assumptions, and take ownership of outcomes from the earliest conversation through to production deployment and iteration.The product itself sits at the heart of how enterprise businesses identify, engage, and convert customers. Underneath the surface is a surprisingly complex platform responsible for processing vast volumes of real-time data, orchestrating AI-driven workflows, integrating with a wide range of third-party systems, and delivering intelligent experiences that customers interact with every day.The engineering challenges are complex and sit well beyond traditional CRUD applications.You'll encounter problems involving:Real-time event streaming and high-volume data processingAI-powered product experiences and workflow automationIdentity resolution and customer intelligence systemsComplex integration ecosystemsDistributed systems operating at scaleProduct experiences where performance, reliability, and usability all matterThe team is looking for engineers who enjoy operating in environments where ambiguity exists and ownership is expected. People who are energised by solving customer problems, who think commercially as well as technically, and who are comfortable making decisions without waiting for perfect information.Technical background is important, but mindset matters more.Strong candidates might come from Golang, Rust, TypeScript, Node.js, React, or other modern engineering backgrounds.A few things worth knowing:Multiple production deployments every weekSignificant investment in AI tooling and engineering productivityMinimal bureaucracy and low meeting cultureHigh trust environment with genuine autonomyDirect access to founders, customers, and decision makersEngineers own problems end to end rather than individual layers of a systemReal influence over product direction and technical strategyIf you're looking for a role where you can combine strong engineering with product thinking, customer understanding, and meaningful ownership, this is one of the more compelling opportunities currently available in the London market.Send me an email at imogen@sr2rec.co.uk or apply via this advert to learn more.
