Our Engineering team plays a vital role in helping the business achieve its goals.
Reporting to our Head of Engineering, you'll take a senior, hands-on role across the full product lifecycle, designing, building and evolving marketable technology products that support our long-term vision.
As a Senior Product Engineer, you'll combine strong full-stack delivery with product thinking, working closely with product and design to shape not just how features are built, but what gets built and why.
Key Responsibilities
- Take ownership of complex features and products end-to-end, leading delivery in close collaboration with the wider engineering team and product/design stakeholders, to deliver high-quality, commercially valuable solutions.
- Write clean, tested and maintainable code that reflects our engineering principles, balancing simplicity, performance and scalability.
- Partner closely with Product and Design to shape requirements, challenge assumptions and translate ideas into market-ready technology, from discovery through to release.
- Ensure your work is thoroughly reviewed and tested and contribute to a high standard of peer code review across the team.
- Communicate progress, risks and upcoming work clearly to engineering, product and business stakeholders.
- Provide technical support to operational and client-facing teams, resolving issues and communicating technical concepts to non-technical colleagues.
- Support teammates by unblocking others, pairing when needed, and fostering shared ownership across the team.
- Mentor other engineers through code review, knowledge sessions and day-to-day guidance.
- Stay current with emerging technologies, tools and best practices, bringing fresh ideas and insight to the team.
