Product Engineer (London)

We are looking for a passionate engineer to build the financial platforms for our insurance and lending products. You will work on features and services that reduce the financial stress and burden of fertility treatments and increase operational efficiency.

As a Product Engineer, you will be responsible for shipping innovative features and solutions at breakneck speed. If you are someone who loves solving problems for customers, cares about software engineering as a craft, and finds thrill in building startups, we want to talk to you.

• Designing and building scalable software to deliver a world class digital experience to our customers, integrating complex financial processes (like underwriting, insurance, risk scoring, loan servicing, payments)

• Scoping and leading technical projects, laying the groundwork for our products to iteratively evolve, scale and deliver outcomes

• Making effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and technical feasibility

• Collaborating closely with our product, design, ops and data teams to prioritise and build solutions and deliver customer and business outcomes

• Improving the developer experience and quality of our systems by investing in tooling, infrastructure, code quality, automated testing and observability

• Setting the engineering culture with the rest of the team by defining how we should work as a team, set standards for quality, and improve the speed of engineering execution

• You have experienced life as a full-stack engineer (backend leaning is ideal!) in a startup for over 3 years

• You are fluent in working with the JavaScript ecosystem. Bonus points if you are fluent with TypeScript (this is what we use)

• You are experienced in working with PostgreSQL

• You're resilient working in ambiguity while seamlessly balancing tactical and strategic considerations

• You're ready to hit the ground running with a strong technical background, including experience building high-quality code and infrastructure

• You enjoy working as part of a small, cross-functional team in close partnership with other cross-functional teams

• You prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones

• You like to take ownership of problems. Our product spans across healthcare, insurance and finance. You will need to find creative solutions and get others on board with them

• You approach understanding and solving problems holistically, not only from a tech point of view

We always prefer passion over skills. If you do not tick all of the above requirements but are excited about our mission and values, please get in touch!

• We work in small cross-functional teams collaborating closely across our entire business

• We believe work should be shipped and improved in small iterations with the help of early feedback from Members and internal users

• We are heavily biassed towards keeping things simple, using existing open-source technologies and not reinventing the wheel if we can’t add any value

• Our tech stack is built of strongly typed TypeScript, Next.js + React.js, Nest.js, PostgreSQL and SQS

• Our production services run on AWS and Vercel. We automate infrastructure and configuration using Pulumi and Github Actions

• Our observability stack is built up of Cloudwatch, Grafana and Sentry

Throughout the interview process, we are looking for...

• You can take on big, loosely defined projects, break them down, and deliver them in an intuitive and digestible way

• You are comfortable working in a constantly-changing environment, regularly questioning and challenging the status quo

• You are able to understand problems deeply and holistically

• You can communicate complex topics clearly and concisely

• You show the potential to mentor other engineers as the team builds

• 65k - 95k (experience dependent between mid and senior levels)

• Equity 

• Private Healthcare - Vitality

• Fertility Support 

• Pension - SMART

• Professional Development budget - £1000 per year

• Workplace Nursery Benefit

• Hybrid working environment - 3 days in the office: Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays at our office in central london (4 minutes from Oxford Circus)
