Staff Product Engineer
Fanvue · Remote with London office · £150,000 (stated in the posting)
Fanvue is one of the fastest-growing creator monetisation platforms globally. We're an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $200M+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.
We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer who thinks like a product owner and builds like a senior engineer. This is a role for someone who has shipped product that millions of people use, owned features from the first sketch to the metrics review, and knows when to move fast and when to build for the long run. You'll work across the stack, shape what we build as much as how we build it, and set the bar for product engineering at Fanvue. AI is transforming how we build software and what our product can do, and you'll be at the centre of both.
💰 £150,000
📍 Salary based on London. Other locations may vary.
🎯 The Role
You'll own product areas end to end, working directly with product, design and data to decide what to build, then shipping it to creators and fans at speed. Our stack is TypeScript, React, Node.js and PostgreSQL on AWS. You'll lead the technical direction for major product bets, build AI-powered features that change how creators run their business, and make sure the platform underneath them scales as we grow. Beyond shipping, you'll be a bar raiser and mentor, and your presence will make every engineer around you more product-minded.
🚀 What You'll Do
Own major product areas end to end, from discovery and scoping through to launch, iteration and measuring impact
Partner with product managers and designers to shape the roadmap, challenge assumptions and find the simplest path to value
Build full-stack features in TypeScript, React and Node.js, designing the APIs and data models behind them
Ship AI-powered product experiences for creators and fans, including automated chat, content tools, moderation and recommendations
Run experiments, read the data and use what you learn to decide what to build next
Make pragmatic architecture calls that let us ship fast today without boxing us in tomorrow
Build reusable product primitives and patterns that help other teams ship faster
Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate delivery and help define team standards
Mentor engineers across the organisation through code reviews, design sessions and pairing, with a focus on product thinking
Talk to creators, review support feedback and stay close to the people using what you build
Participate in incident response and own the quality and reliability of your product areas
👀 Who You Are
10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong track record of shipping user-facing product
Proven impact on products used by millions, with clear examples of features you owned and the results they drove
Deep expertise in TypeScript, React and Node.js, with solid experience across APIs, PostgreSQL and AWS
Strong product sense: you know what good looks like for users and can argue for it
Comfortable with ambiguity, turning a loose problem into a shipped solution without waiting for a perfect spec
Experience building with LLM APIs and AI-powered features in production
Fluent with AI-assisted development tools and keen to help teams adopt them effectively
A natural mentor who elevates other engineers through example, not authority
Strong communicator who can work as easily with designers and commercial teams as with engineers
✨ You'll Thrive Here If
You care about the outcome for users, not just the quality of the code
You want to see your work in front of creators and fans within days, not quarters
You enjoy owning a problem end to end and being accountable for the result
You are motivated by mentoring and raising the product bar for teams
You are excited about building AI-native product experiences
⚠️ You'll Struggle Here If
You prefer management or strategy over hands-on engineering
You want detailed specs handed to you rather than helping shape them
You are not comfortable owning the quality and reliability of what you ship
You see mentoring as outside your job description
You are resistant to AI tools changing how engineering works
