Senior Product Engineer

the team move faster, and learn from what others discover. Help shape AI in our product. AI features in our app are still early. Spot the customer moments where AI can create magic, prototype them, and bring them to life. Own delivery end-to-end. Pick up a problem, design the solution, ship the work wherever the feature lives, and see it through to production. Own on-call. Be on the rotation, and stand behind what you ship in production. Keep production fast and trusted. Watch latency, harden release processes, and protect what customers rely on. Raise the bar for

the team. Contribute to architectural discussions and the patterns that shape our codebase. Lift the people around you. You're a great fit if you Senior engineering experience. 5+ years building production software. Full-stack range. Comfortable across backend, web, and infrastructure. Strong fundamentals. Confident with TypeScript, GraphQL, and SQL. At home in NestJS (or a similar Node.js framework) and React. Cloud and DevOps minded. Comfortable across GCP or a similar cloud, CI/CD, observability, and modern infrastructure tooling. Use AI daily. AI assistants are part of how you build. You bring back patterns that help others get more out of them too. Think product, not just code. You measure your work by what changed for the customer, not the lines of code shipped. Production minded. Solid grasp of API design, observability, scaling, reliability, and security. Care about craft. Clean APIs, attention to detail, and how the system feels to work in. Comfortable in uncertainty. You move forward when the path isn't clear, instead of waiting for someone to define it. Test as you build. Automated tests are how you ship code you trust. Passionate about execution. Curiosity, energy, and a habit of moving things forward. Excellent communicator. Clear in how you write and speak, and you love sharing what you learn. If most of these land for you, please apply. We hire on trajectory and curiosity as much as CV. Even better if you know NestJS. Our backend is a NestJS service, and you'd feel at home when features need backend work. React Native. Our apps run on React Native and Expo. You'll touch them when features cross stack boundaries. GraphQL Federation. We run a federated gateway across multiple subgraphs, and federation experience makes schema and subgraph work easier. Distributed systems at scale. Event-driven patterns, async processing, real-time data flows. Infrastructure as code. Terraform, Kubernetes, or similar. Quick commerce or similar domain. Logistics, on-demand delivery, or another real-time, high-throughput customer-facing environment. You won't be a great fit if you Need a fully defined process and a large, structured team to do your best work. Chase technical perfection at the expense of what the customer actually needs. Stall when the path forward isn't clear, or wait to be told what to do. Want to stay strictly inside your specialty and avoid unfamiliar parts of the stack. What's the interview process like? We aim to make our process clear, respectful of your time, and a real two-way conversation. Stage 1 - Intro call (30 min). A short chat about your background and a chance for us to tell you more about Zapp,

the team, and

the role. Stage 2 - Technical interview (90 min). Live coding with full access to any AI tooling you'd normally use, and we'll send you a boilerplate repository in advance so you can focus on the problem, not the setup. Stage 3 - On-site interview (2 hours, in person). A visit to our office: one hour of system design, and one hour with senior leadership on how you work, what you care about, and how you align with our Leadership Principles. Stage 4 - Offer. We verify your right to work in the UK and complete reference checks before the contract.
