Product Engineer (Full Stack) - Skippr AI | Building Next-Gen AI Agents | London (No Agencies)

Hey! We're Skippr AI 👋

We're building the future of product development through specialized AI agents. We started with product design agents (they're pretty cool), and now we're cooking up something entirely new with agents that we haven't announced yet. If you're excited about zero-to-one development and building AI agents that will transform entirely new domains, we should talk.

About the Role

We're looking for a Software Engineer who's genuinely enthusiastic about AI and actively uses it to enhance their coding and daily work. You'll be joining a team that's 100% AI-native - we don't just build AI agents, we use AI to optimize our own work every single day.

In this role, you'll primarily:

  • Build next-generation AI agents for domains we're pioneering (can't spill all the beans yet, but trust us, it's exciting).
  • Own features end-to-end from intuitive user interfaces to scalable backend services.
  • Pioneer new AI applications that tackle entirely new problem spaces.
  • Work with founders to shape the vision for our next wave of groundbreaking agents.
  • Move fast and iterate in a truly AI-native environment where we dogfood everything we build.

What You'll Bring

  • At least 3 years of experience building software.
  • A strong, demonstrable enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence and how you use it to help you code daily (e.g., with tools like Claude Code or Cursor).
  • A proactive approach to problem-solving and a desire to continuously learn and grow in a fast-paced environment.

Nice-to-Haves (but not essential)

We value diverse backgrounds and skills. While these are beneficial, they aren't strict requirements:

  • Experience building AI-powered applications or agents.
  • Proficiency with modern stacks like TypeScript, React, Python (FastAPI), or cloud platforms like GCP.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems and cloud infrastructure.
  • A Computer Science degree or equivalent real-world experience.
  • A love for the zero-to-one phase of building and thriving in ambiguity.

About the opportunity

We're a seed-stage startup backed by leading VCs and industry angels. Our team is 100% AI-native - we don't just build AI agents, we use AI to optimize our own work every single day.

We believe the best work happens in person, so we work together five days a week in our modern office in the heart of London's tech scene at Old Street.

What we offer:

  • Competitive salary plus meaningful equity (EMI share options)
  • The chance to define entirely new markets for AI agents
  • Direct impact on architectural decisions for our next-gen platform
  • Comprehensive benefits: pension, health insurance, 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • A team that's genuinely excited about what they're building

Requirements:

  • London-based, full-time onsite position
  • Legal right to work in the UK
  • Direct applicants only (no agencies, please)
