About the role

As a Software Product Engineer, you're the hands-on technical force supporting an AI-first product approach where Product team members can build directly. If you're excited by the idea of turning fast-moving product ideas into solid, review-ready software, and you'd rather find the problem now than have QA find it later, this is your chance to shine.

Key responsibilities

- Clearly articulate value, outcomes, functionality and behaviour

- Prepare PRDs (Product Requirement Documents) — before, after, or in parallel with prototyping

- Carefully consider flows, edge cases and scenarios so build and QA have full context

- Prototype, develop and iterate on features within the product-led engineering approach, working to direction from the product and engineering leads

- Get features working end-to-end, handing them to the development team production-ready

- Investigate and resolve issues in prototyped features — in code, not in theory

- Provide technical support to the team's AI-assisted building, picking up the more technical pieces and flagging issues to the leads

- Identify opportunities for structure, conventions and guardrails that let non-technical team members build with AI in a consistent, reviewable, scalable way

- Work closely with QA to proactively identify and resolve issues at the prototype stage, updating PRDs where needed

- Surface edge cases, error states and failure modes

About you

- Hands-on coding ability — comfortable building and modifying features in code, with working knowledge of a general-purpose language, version control, and how a web application fits together





- A sharp quality and edge-case instinct — you naturally look for the unhappy path and the failure modes that love to surface in production

- Comfort with shifting priorities — happy to take direction on what matters this week, and to change focus as the team's needs move

- The ability to work well with non-technical colleagues — picking up the technical pieces, and explaining what's going on without making anyone feel silly for asking

- Data literacy — comfortable enough with Python or SQL to answer a question with numbers rather than a hunch

- Familiarity with automated testing tools and approaches (such as Selenium or Postman)

- Experience in a SaaS or B2B product environment

- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines or DevOps tooling

- A background spanning both development and QA

- Experience in fast-moving or prototype-first teams, where requirements arrive alongside the work rather than before it
