Senior Product Engineer

Senior Product Engineer (TypeScript, AI/LLM) | Shoreditch, London | £100,000 - £150,000 | Hybrid - 3 days onsite We're partnering with Alecto, the UK's first AI-native law firm, on a mission to make the law accessible to everyone. They're starting with conveyancing, a part of the legal industry that's slow, opaque and genuinely failing consumers: one in three property transactions fall through, and complaints run 3.3x higher than any other legal sector. Many firms still rely on post and fax. They're now hiring a Staff or Senior Product Engineer to join as an early member of the engineering team, someone who wants real product direction from day one rather than a backlog handed down to them. What you'll be doing

• Shaping product direction from day one, talking directly to users and forming your own hypotheses on what to build
• Shipping features to production within your first week
• Building AI agents or LLM-powered systems that go beyond simple prompting, as a core part of the role
• Scaling TypeScript across a modern monorepo (React, tRPC, Tailwind)
• Reporting directly to the founder, with real influence over technical and product direction What they're looking for
• Early-stage startup experience where you've genuinely driven product direction, not just executed against a spec
• Strong, scaled TypeScript experience
• Real, hands-on experience building AI agents or LLM systems, not just using AI tools day to day
• Someone who thinks in user problems first, technical solutions second
• Bonus: academic or applied ML experience, especially bridging research and production Why this one's worth a look
• A small team of generalists who move fast, ship often, and hold themselves to a genuinely high bar
• Real early-stage ownership, shaping the product rather than just building to spec
• A founder with proven, relevant experience scaling a regulated fintech business
• Meaningful early-stage equity, private medical cover including dental and optical, choice of your own AI tooling
• A mission worth caring about: making law genuinely accessible, not just cheaper For more information, hit APPLY and I (Jake Gardiner) will book in a GMeet with you to answer any questions you may have!
