Senior Software Engineer - Shoreditch

Robert Walters UK; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 100,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job description

We’re hiring a Software Engineer (AKA internally as Product Engineer) for a high-growth AI startup that’s flying under the radar — but probably not for long. They are set to explode in 2025 with huge growth targets due to incredible customer demand.

From the outside, it looks like a copilot for hiring. Under the hood, it’s a whole new interface for how teams make decisions. Customers include some of the most product-obsessed companies in the Valley and Europe (think: dev tools, fintech, AI infra), and usage is scaling fast.

The founding team (ex-Uber, Palantir) is sharp, pragmatic, and obsessed with doing great work. They’re still 30 people but already operating with serious momentum and will grow to over 60 heads this year.

The role

This is a hands-on product engineering role with a lot of scope. You’ll work closely with founders, design, and customers to ship full features end to end. It’s not just execution; you’ll be helping shape what gets built and how.

You’ll likely lean frontend or backend, but comfort moving across the stack is ideal. This isn’t about being a specialist; it’s about being effective.

The stack (current)

TypeScript + React

Python (FastAPI)

AWS + Serverless + Terraform

But this will change. The team optimises for velocity and quality, not dogma. If you're excited to learn, experiment, and own big chunks of product, you’ll do well here.

What you get

Compensation in the top 90% of UK companies at this stage

Generous equity — they want early team members to have real skin in the game

Hybrid setup: 3 days a week in their Shoreditch office (the fun kind of in-office, not the “back to your desk” kind)

This might be for you if:

You’re wired for early-stage and want to build real product, not just features

You’ve got strong product instincts and love figuring out what matters most

You’re fast, curious, and care deeply about the details

You want to work on something ambitious with people who are serious (but not self-serious)

It’s early, but not that early — they’ve got revenue, serious logos, and strong investor support. The next 12 months are about scaling the product and the team. It’s a great time to plug in.
