Lead Engineer will shape technical direction and build AI-native user-facing products across the stack. Responsibilities include end-to-end delivery, cross-functional collaboration, mentoring engineers, defining engineering practices for AI-enabled development, and hands-on frontend (React/Remix/TypeScript) and backend (Golang) work.

At GetGround, our mission is simple: to make property investment safer, faster, and more accessible for landlords. We believe AI can reshape the landlord journey end to end - not just improving single steps, but reimagining the entire experience of property investing. The result will be a future of buy-to-let that is radically different to how we know it by disrupting a £1.7 trillion UK asset class.

We explore the ideas, predictions, and data trends that will shape this future, and what they mean for landlords and the PropTech industry.

Our four values are the foundation of our culture and shape our behaviours - no BS, pursuit of excellence, feedback obsession and healthy ego. We have built a high performing organisation where intrinsic drive fuels GetGrounders to build a world class investment experience for our users.

In numbers:

  • ➡️ 85+ GetGrounders (ex Google, Meta, Deliveroo, Startups)

  • 🏘 £3bn+ of assets under management

  • 📈 30,000+ users across 70 countries

  • 💲Series A with a strong runway

What's the role?

We're looking for a Lead Engineer, an individual contributor role, to help shape how our engineering team builds in an AI-native environment. You'll join our cross-functional product team in London, shaping technical direction while working hands-on to build user-facing AI-native products.

How we work:

Our engineering culture puts AI as a first-class citizen, not just in the products we ship, but in how we write code, reason about systems, and scale ourselves as engineers.

We look for Lead Engineers who set the bar for how a team builds across the stack, and who are comfortable working alongside AI tools as a co-pilot in both discovery and delivery.

What you'll do:

  • You'll work closely cross functionally to understand customer needs, taking ideas from concept all the way through to deployment

  • You'll enjoy a lot of ownership and freedom, navigating a fast-moving environment where things aren't always clearly defined

  • Build and maintain user-facing products across the stack. Today that means React, Remix, and TypeScript on the frontend, and Golang on the backend, but you'll work fluidly across both

  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and other engineers to ship high-quality features fast, using AI tools as leverage in your day to day development

  • Help define new engineering practices for an AI-native development environment

  • Mentor other engineers and help us scale our engineering culture

What we're looking for

  • A track record of owning technical initiatives, and being a senior technical voice in the room on a given problem

  • Product and commercial thinking

  • Comfortable moving between frontend and backend development, even if you have a background leaning more heavily one way

  • A curiosity and excitement about using AI tools to build better software faster

  • Familiarity with React, Remix, and TypeScript is great, but not essential

  • Experience setting or influencing engineering practices, not just following them

  • A track record of mentoring or supporting other engineers

Benefits:

  • 💰 Competitive salary

  • 💰 EMI share options

  • 🏥 Private health

  • 🏥 Private dental

  • 🏖 12 Mental health days off annually (1 per month) PLUS holidays + public holidays

  • 🫶 1 paid Community day off (paid day off to volunteer for a charitable cause)

  • 🏡 Hybrid working (check details with your recruiter)

  • 🥣 Free breakfast daily

  • 🎳 Team and company-wide events

  • 📈 360° performance reviews to promote a culture of growth and development

  • 🎤 Support for conferences and professional learning & development

What we are building: The first end-to-end real estate investment offering - making the dream of owning real estate more accessible to everyone globally.

  • Our work on Design Accessibility
