Jumpstart is a startup hiring platform partnering with a small, curated group of ambitious VC‑backed startups in the UK. Our job is not to sell you roles, it’s to make sure that when you do move, it’s into a place where you’ll actually get to build, learn, and have real impact.
About the role
You will join a Seed/Series A VC‑backed startup as one of the first engineering hires, with significant ownership over product and technical direction. You’ll build and ship core product features end-to-end, work closely with founders and design, and help define the engineering standards, architecture, and culture that future hires will inherit.
- Build and scale products used by thousands or millions of users
- Own features end-to-end, from schema design to front‑end implementation
- Make architectural decisions that define the product long‑term
- Collaborate directly with founders, designers, and PMs – no translation layer
- Ship quickly, iterate relentlessly, and see immediate real‑world impact
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for engineers who are strong across the stack and opinionated about building great products.
- Comfortable with modern front‑end and back‑end tooling (e.g., React, TypeScript, Node)
- Product‑mindful; you care about outcomes, not just implementation details
- Autonomous, pragmatic, and excited by early‑stage or fast‑moving environments
- Clear communicators who enjoy collaborating beyond engineering
We care far more about your ability to reason, ship, and own problems than about any specific tech stack.
