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.
What you'll actually do:-
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
