Founding Product Engineer

Company: Paralo
Apply for the Founding Product Engineer
Location: Greater London
Job Description:

Paralo is building the next generation of digital infrastructure for golf.

We’re rethinking the club experience, from booking to clubhouse, with the product quality people expect from modern consumer platforms.

Think Strava-level experiences, applied to a space that’s been left behind by legacy software.

ROLE

This is a founding, hands‑on product role. You’ll work directly with the founder to shape what the product actually becomes. There are no rigid specs, no legacy constraints, and no organisational noise. Just real problems, fast iteration, and a high bar for quality.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Build and iterate on the product
  • Translate messy real‑world workflows into simple, usable interfaces
  • Make product decisions and implement them end‑to‑end
  • Use modern tools and AI to move quickly without sacrificing quality
  • Talk to early clubs and users as we validate assumptions

This is a build‑first, think‑clearly role.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

  • Product surfaces from idea to implementation
  • UX decisions and interaction quality
  • Light backend wiring and integrations
  • Early product direction through what you choose to build

WHO THIS FITS

  • Product‑minded engineer or technical generalist
  • Strong taste and judgement, even if still developing
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and early‑stage mess
  • Curious, pragmatic, and thoughtful
  • Genuine interest in golf and/or sport.

Junior or mid‑level is fine – what matters is range and intent.

TECHNICAL SHAPE

  • React / TypeScript
  • Swift or React Native (or willingness/capability to learn)
  • Supabase and edge functions
  • Modern UI tooling
  • AI‑assisted workflows

We care more about outcomes than stack purity.

STRUCTURE

Founding role with real influence

Flexible commitment initially

Clear path to full‑time if mutually aligned

Equity reflects risk and responsibility

WHY PARALO

Anyone who plays golf, knows it hasn’t had a modern product reset.

We’re building something calm, premium, and considered – a software that respects both the game and the people around it.

If you want to help define a product from first principles, this is the moment.
