Senior Product Engineer (fintech) | Fully Remote (UK) | £75–85k + benefits
I’m hiring for a London-based behavioural finance/fintech client. The team is small, the product is used by wealth managers, banks and digital advisers, and this role is fully remote, UK residents with the right to work only.
This is not a “ticket factory” full-stack job. You’ll own larger, less-defined problems: what should be built as well as how it gets built. You’ll work directly with product, research and occasionally clients, not from a fully specified brief.
What you’ll do
- Ship features end to end: Laravel/PHP services and APIs, React SPAs, and the middle layer that joins them
- Make architecture and product judgement calls, not just implement tickets
- Work with AWS as part of normal delivery (Lambda, S3, Glue, Bedrock, CloudFront)
- Use AI coding tools as a core part of how you build — expected to raise what you ship, not as a gimmick
- Push back when a requirement doesn’t hold up, and find the simpler solution
- Scope work clearly enough to brief freelancers/contractors and review what comes back
- Split time between a next-gen greenfield platform and supporting the live product for enterprise clients
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Stack
- Backend: Laravel / PHP, microservices, BFF
- Frontend: React, SPAs
- Cloud: AWS
- Data: Power BI, AWS data lake, HubSpot
- Tooling: GitHub, Jira, Confluence
Who this suits
- Strong across the stack; AI tools accelerate you; they don’t replace engineering judgement
- You think about abstractions: what belongs where, what will hurt later if you take the fast path now
- You’ve owned messy problems before (feature from idea to production, shaped a solution, pushed back on a bad spec)
- Comfortable with ambiguity, at this level you often decide what to build
- Curious about the product and the users, not only the code
- Years of experience matter less than evidence you’ve actually owned outcomes
