The position focuses on building AI-powered product features and the reliable plumbing required to support them. You will work directly with users, founders, and designers to influence what is built next. Many of the opportunities involve working for AI-native startups or category leaders in fast-paced environments.

"Senior engineer" postings all read the same, but the roles behind them don't. The difference is whether you're handed tickets or handed problems. The product companies we work with — from breakout AI startups to category leaders — run lean teams where engineers own features end-to-end and talk to the users they're building for. We know these teams well enough to tell you which ones actually work that way.
The opportunities
Salaries across these roles run up to £200k, with equity on top. You'd own product surface end-to-end — backend to interface — shipping work that goes in front of real users the week it's done. Small teams, short loops, and a direct line between what you build and whether the company wins. Many of these companies are AI-native, so the product problems are genuinely new ones.
You could work on
- Owning features end-to-end, from design conversation through to production
- Shipping across the stack — backend, APIs and the interfaces users touch
- Building AI-powered product features and the plumbing that makes them reliable
- Working directly with users, founders and design on what to build next
You may have
- A strong product engineering track record at pace — startup or scale-up
- Depth in a modern stack (TypeScript, Python, Go or similar) with full-stack range
- Judgement about what to build, not just how to build it
- Care for the user on the other end of what you ship
Why apply through Dex? We put you in front of the right teams with a proper introduction, not a cold application — and you stay in control of what moves forward.
