Our client is a well-funded stealth startup within the Life Science are and are building the groundbreaking AI operating system for drug discovery software.
They’re hiring a Senior Product Engineer to own the interfaces where scientists interact with the platform. The stack is React and TypeScript on the front end, with Java and Python services behind it. You’ll live mostly in the frontend and API layers, with the range to go deeper when the product demands it.
Salary: £120,000-£150,000 + equity
Location: London - Hybrid 2-3 days a week onsite
What You’ll Own
A People team built for ambitious businesses
The old model for People & Talent doesn’t work for today's businesses. We've built a better one.
Traditionally, early-stage Founders had two options: handle People & Talent themselves, losing precious time they should be spending on product or go-to-market, or hire a generalist, expected to cover everything from culture to recruitment to performance. We offer a more impactful alternative: A fully flexible, fractional People & Talent team with specialist skillsets and hands-on delivery, ready to start driving impact for your business in weeks, not months.
