Product Engineer (POS Experience Required)

Location

London, UK (Hybrid - 3 days in office) / Office location: Central London (Victoria area)

About the Role

We are looking for a Product Engineer who is highly product minded, fast moving, and comfortable owning front end development in a startup environment. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product thinking, and execution, with a strong emphasis on Point of Sale (POS) systems.

You will work closely with founders and engineers to build, improve, and scale a POS platform used on tablet devices. While the team has strong backend coverage, the biggest need is on the front end, particularly around React, TypeScript, and React Native.

This is a hands on role for someone who enjoys moving quickly, shipping features, and maintaining high UI and code quality while working in an AI accelerated development environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and build front end features for a POS product used primarily on tablet devices
• Work extensively with React, TypeScript, and React Native (some Next.js exposure)
• Improve UI/UX quality and refactor existing codebases to maintain performance and cleanliness
• Collaborate closely with backend engineers while focusing primarily on front end delivery
• Apply strong product thinking: understand the product deeply and translate requirements into high quality implementations
• Help guide and mentor other developers when needed
• Move fast in a startup environment while maintaining code quality
• Leverage AI tools in development workflows while ensuring long term maintainability

Required Experience & Skills

• Mandatory experience working with POS (Point of Sale) systems
• Strong experience with React and TypeScript
• Hands on experience with React Native (tablet or mobile applications)
• Solid front end engineering background with a product focused mindset
• Experience working in startup or fast paced environments
• Comfortable shipping features quickly and iterating based on feedback
• Ability to balance speed and code quality in AI assisted development
• 5+ years of professional experience preferred (flexible based on candidate fit)

Nice to Have

• Experience with Next.js
• Experience guiding or mentoring engineers
• Familiarity with AI driven development workflows
• Experience working on B2B SaaS or fintech products

What We're Looking For

• Product first engineers who understand why they're building something, not just how
• Engineers who thrive in fast moving environments and enjoy ownership
• Candidates who care deeply about UI quality and performance
• People who communicate clearly and collaborate well with founders and teammates
