Want your engineering work to contribute to breakthroughs in cancer research, drug discovery and next-generation healthcare?
I’m working with a mission-led technology company building advanced software, AI and automation platforms that help accelerate scientific discovery. This is a genuine tech-for-good opportunity where the systems you build can have a real-world impact beyond traditional software products.
They’re looking for a Principal Product Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership across product engineering, architecture and delivery. This is a role for someone who still loves building software but can also operate at the highest level, mentoring senior engineers, setting technical direction and scaling complex products in a fast-paced environment.
Who This Won’t Suit
- Anyone looking for a purely people-management role. This is a hands-on technical leadership position.
- Leaders whose experience is primarily management rather than building and scaling software products.
- Engineers who aren’t interested in leveraging AI and automation as part of modern software development.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Owning product engineering strategy and technical architecture end-to-end.
- Leading and mentoring Staff and Senior Staff Engineers.
- Architecting and delivering complex, scalable software products.
- Embedding AI-native and automation-first ways of working.
- Driving engineering excellence, quality and delivery performance.
- Partnering with Product, Design, Data and AI leaders to shape roadmap and execution.
What We’re Looking For
- 15+ years of software engineering experience.
- Experience building and scaling highly complex products.
- Track record leading senior technical talent and engineering functions.
- Strong understanding of AI and automation as engineering accelerators.
- Experience operating in high-growth, high-performance product environments.
- A builder’s mindset with a passion for ownership and technical excellence.
What’s On Offer
- Salary up to £220,000.
- Life & critical illness cover.
- Additional leave and wellbeing support programmes.
- The chance to shape next-generation AI products with genuine real-world impact.
