Staff Product Engineer

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer who thinks like a product owner and builds like a senior engineer. This is a role for someone who has shipped product that millions of people use, owned features from the first sketch to the metrics review, and knows when to move fast and when to build for the long run. You'll work across the stack, shape what we build as much as how we build it, and set the bar for product engineering at Fanvue. AI is transforming how we build software and what our product can do, and you'll be at the centre of both.

💰 £150,000

📍 Salary based on London. Other locations may vary.

🎯 The Role

You'll own product areas end to end, working directly with product, design and data to decide what to build, then shipping it to creators and fans at speed. Our stack is TypeScript, React, Node.js and PostgreSQL on AWS. You'll lead the technical direction for major product bets, build AI-powered features that change how creators run their business, and make sure the platform underneath them scales as we grow. Beyond shipping, you'll be a bar raiser and mentor, and your presence will make every engineer around you more product-minded.

• Own major product areas end to end, from discovery and scoping through to launch, iteration and measuring impact
• Partner with product managers and designers to shape the roadmap, challenge assumptions and find the simplest path to value
• Build full-stack features in TypeScript, React and Node.js, designing the APIs and data models behind them
• Ship AI-powered product experiences for creators and fans, including automated chat, content tools, moderation and recommendations
• Run experiments, read the data and use what you learn to decide what to build next
• Make pragmatic architecture calls that let us ship fast today without boxing us in tomorrow
• Build reusable product primitives and patterns that help other teams ship faster
• Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate delivery and help define team standards
• Mentor engineers across the organisation through code reviews, design sessions and pairing, with a focus on product thinking
• Talk to creators, review support feedback and stay close to the people using what you build
• Participate in incident response and own the quality and reliability of your product areas

Who You Are

• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong track record of shipping user-facing product
• Proven impact on products used by millions, with clear examples of features you owned and the results they drove
