Senior Full Stack Engineer (Tech Lead) Engineering London

At VEED, our mission is to make video creation accessible to anyone. No hard-to-use equipment, painful learning curve, or keeping track of multiple subscriptions to take your ideas from record share. With VEED, you can do this with a single tool.

In just a few years, we've gone from one user to millions. From no revenue to $40M+ ARR. From bootstrapped to backed by Sequoia , one of the biggest VC firms in the world. From a team of two to a team of 180+. And we're seeking more talented, motivated and entrepreneurial individuals to join our growing team.

Where And How We Work

At VEED we are hybrid, enabling teams and individuals to design their day and integrate work and life. We require 1 day a week in office for London and Amsterdam-based employees and you have flexibility to decide which day.

The Engineering Teams at VEED are responsible for continuously improving and scaling our platform, ensuring we deliver exceptional value and experiences to our users. We work across a wide range of teams, each with distinct goals but sharing a common vision-driving VEED's growth through innovative features, high-quality performance, and seamless user experiences.

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer (Tech Lead), you'll join our Editor Core team-the backbone of VEED's flagship product. This team owns the majority of our codebase and is deeply involved in managing technical debt, ensuring performance at scale, and driving innovation. In this role, you'll lead efforts to enhance user experience, boost usability, and develop cutting-edge AI editing features that support VEED's long-term success. You'll also have the opportunity to influence cross-functional engineering teams, take ownership of major initiatives, and shape the future of our platform at a foundational level.

About the role What you will be doing

• Developing and Enhancing Features: Leverage the latest advancements in AI to build and refine features that not only drive user engagement and growth but also push the boundaries of platform scalability. You'll have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art AI models, implementing innovative solutions that transform how we interact with technology like; Text-To-Video app and Edit-by-Text.
• Collaborating with Others: Work closely with product, design, and marketing to create seamless user experiences and solutions that align with business goals.
• Running Experiments: Implement and test changes to improve key metrics like user acquisition, activation, and retention. Analyze results and optimize performance.
• Building Modern UIs: Create clean, responsive UIs using Next.js for product pages, marketing assets, and core platform features.
• Optimizing Performance: Ensure the platform is scalable, reliable, and performs well as we grow.

Our Stack

• More broadly across the the product we use React.js, and Redux.
• We use Fastify, gRPC and Prisma with TypeScript and Node.js for backend services.

About you

• You take ownership beyond just code-you drive outcomes and lead by example.
• You're proactive and think strategically about both technical and product challenges.
• You have strong expertise in TypeScript and modern web technologies, and you help shape best practices across teams.
• Experience working with AI/LLMs is a strong plus-you're curious about how emerging technologies can be applied to improve the product.
• You're confident leading end-to-end technical projects, aligning stakeholders, and making trade-offs when needed.
• You care deeply about quality-testing, maintainability, and long-term scalability are non-negotiable for you.

• You work well asynchronously and thrive in a distributed, fast-paced environment.
• You collaborate cross-functionally (with SEO, Marketing, Product, etc.) to ensure alignment and impact.
• You value shipping regularly and driving meaningful, measurable impact.
• You're not just a contributor-you're a technical leader who helps set direction and elevate those around you.

What we offer

• Monthly subsidy programme: Different people have different needs and therefore value different benefits. Providing this as a subsidy allows you to have the greatest flexibility to apply to what you value most - whether that be to offset the cost of a co-working space, office furniture, childcare, gym membership, etc.
• Unlimited paid holidays: We value that you get more time with your family and friends.
• Home office set-up: We have an IT Equipment program to make sure your home office is adequately setup with IT equipment including laptops, monitors, headsets/earbuds, keyboards and more!
• Mental health benefit: We've partnered with Spill to provide all our employees with confidential mental health support.

We think what matters is people. After all, a company is just a group of people. We don't care about where you're from, what school you went to or where you worked before. If you've done exceptional work, we want to hear from you. Join us on our mission to make creative storytelling with video simple and accessible for everyone.
