The posting

Senior/Lead Product Engineer

Remote (UK/Europe) | £60k – £90k + Equity

The Mission

Birda is a game-changing app making birdwatching cooler and more accessible than ever before. Imagine Pokémon Go, but with real birds and real adventures.

In just a few years, we’ve grown to hundreds of thousands of users across 177 countries and have been acclaimed as ‘App of the Day’ by Apple in 148 countries. We are on a mission to connect people with nature through our birdwatching-buddy app, and we are looking for a Product Engineer to join us.

The Role

You will work across the full stack in a small, mission-driven team (~4 engineers), reporting directly to Alvaro Yuste (Head of Engineering).

1. The Tech Stack You should have proficiency in our core technologies:

  • Languages: JavaScript & TypeScript (Essential).
  • Mobile: React Native + Expo.
  • Backend: GraphQL + PostgreSQL

2. The Mindset

  • Product-First Thinking: You contribute to product ideation, care deeply about UX, and are comfortable with prioritisation, trade-offs, and analytics. You don’t wait for detailed specs; you thrive in ambiguity and love solving users' problems.
  • Smart & Adaptable: You have a growth mindset and use modern tools like AI to multiply your output. You thrive in the fast-paced and ambiguous environment of a startup or scale-up.
  • Seniority: Senior or lead-level engineer who prefers a technical career path over people management, but is capable of understanding big-picture trade-offs, rather than just executing tasks.
  • Mission-Driven: You don’t need to be an expert birder, but you should love the outdoors. You are motivated by building technology that has a positive purpose.

Bonus: Exposure to technical leadership and strategy is valuable.

Conditions and benefits

  • Salary: £60,000 – £90,000 base.
  • Equity: Stock options.
  • Time Off: 25 vacation days + bank holidays + a bonus day for your birthday.
  • Fully Remote: You must be based within a ±1 hour window of the CET timezone.
  • Flexibility: Ideally based in the UK, but we partner with Remote.com to hire top talent across Europe/Africa within the time zone constraints.
  • Gear: Staff discount on outdoor equipment and cameras.
  • Other: Co-working space allowance, and team gatherings/events.

The Hiring Process

We respect your time and aim for a transparent process:

  1. First Conversation (30-45 mins): A chat with Alvaro (Head of Engineering). We’ll discuss the company mission, engineering culture, and your background. This is your chance to see if Birda feels like home.
  2. Technical Session: A pair-programming session with Dave (Principal Engineer). We’ll develop a small feature and debug an issue together. We care about your mental framework for problem-solving and communication, not just the syntax.
  3. Cultural & Product Fit: A conversation with Product and Leadership team members. You’ll explore the business approach, product vision, and how you’ll collaborate with stakeholders.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
