We're working with an established software company to find a Senior Product Engineer who will help build and scale a platform used daily by a large customer base. This is a Senior Product Engineer role for someone who wants genuine ownership and technical challenge, with work that ships and reaches real users.

You'll own features end to end, from back-end services through to the customer-facing product. You'll work closely with the Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, QA and Product, and you'll set the technical bar for the people around you.

Responsibilities as a Senior Product Engineer:

• Build, maintain and scale platform-level back-end services that support data and product capabilities across the business
• Ship new features across the core product suite, taking them from design through to delivery
• Own high-impact work directly, resolving critical bugs and system issues with strong problem-solving and deep system knowledge
• Drive test coverage and reliability through advanced automated testing and Test-Driven Development
• Keep code quality high through thorough, constructive code reviews and well-architected, scalable design
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, reviews and team learning sessions

Requirements:

• Demonstrable experience building back-end services in Python
• Experience with enterprise solutions and large-scale systems
• Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, data modelling and performance optimisation
• Proven track record designing and writing APIs in a service-oriented environment, delivering large technical projects with minimal supervision
• Solid grounding in software engineering principles (SOLID, DRY), clean code, refactoring and Scrum
• A collaborative Senior Product Engineer who leads through mentorship and communicates clearly with technical and non-technical people alike

Benefits:

• Generous holiday allowance plus additional company days through the year
• Life assurance and a comprehensive virtual GP, mental health and counselling service
• Private dental insurance and a salary sacrifice pension
• Enhanced family leave and return-to-work coaching
• Dedicated professional development budget for courses, memberships and upskilling
• A strong wellbeing offer, financial coaching, a paid charity volunteering day and genuine flexible working

If you're a Senior Product Engineer who wants real ownership and meaningful technical challenges, this is worth a conversation. Bring the engineering rigour and the appetite to mentor, and you'll have the scope to make a visible difference from day one.
