AI Native Founding Product and Platform Engineer
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
The Mission
Your dual mission is to:
Build exceptional digital products
Lead the architecture and delivery of our most ambitious customer-facing solutions, owning everything from frontend experiences to backend services and cloud infrastructure.
Build the engineering platform behind them
Create the tooling, deployment pathways and reusable building blocks that allow engineers to move quickly, safely and independently.
As successful patterns emerge, you'll transform them into shared capabilities that accelerate delivery across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead by Building: Act as the technical lead on our most important initiatives, architecting through code and setting the standard for engineering excellence.
- Own the Full Stack: Design and develop solutions across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
- Build the Paved Road: Shape our platform (CI/CD, Kubernetes, IaC, observability) so other engineers ship faster and more safely.
- Turn Solutions into Reusable Capabilities: Identify successful patterns and convert them into shared services, frameworks, libraries and architectural standards
- Multiply Velocity: Continuously remove friction from the development lifecycle through automation, standardisation and thoughtful platform design.
- Mentor and Influence: Partner with engineers, product leads and designers to raise technical standards and encourage a culture of pragmatic, high-quality delivery.
What we’re looking for
Full Stack Mastery: Expert-level React/TypeScript on the frontend, and deep experience building distributed backends in Go, Python, or TypeScript.
Cloud & IaC: Hands-on, architectural-level experience with a major cloud (GCP, AWS) and Terraform. You don’t just use it; you architect with it.
Containers & CI/CD: Strong knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines built from scratch (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
Systems Thinking: Proven ability to design scalable, resilient and observable systems.
Product Mindset: Experience working closely with Product and Design teams to deliver solutions that users genuinely value.
Observability & Quality: Practical understanding of monitoring, tracing, testing and operational excellence, including tools such as Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger.
Who You Are
You have 10+ years of experience, with strong backgrounds in both product engineering and platform/SRE work.
You are a builder first. You don’t run architecture review boards; you write the code that makes them unnecessary.
You believe the best architecture is the simplest one that works, and that great products and great platforms are built by the same kind of mindset.
You measure your success by the velocity, autonomy, and pride of the engineers around you.
