We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join the Investments team, building the product that powers workplace pensions, retirement savings and our spend product at Kota. It's a full stack role with a backend lean, your strongest expertise will be backend and you'll work in the frontend when the product needs it.
The Investments team owns more than pensions. On one side, pension infrastructure is genuinely complex: multi-provider, multi-market and largely unmodernised. You'll design the systems that connect pension providers to employers and employees, covering contributions, fund data, payroll integrations and compliance across multiple markets.
On the other hand, you'll own our Spend product. This lets employers create allowances and issue cards to employees, who get a virtual Stripe card they can add to Apple or Google Wallet and spend in real time. It spans card issuing, wallet provisioning, transaction flows and the controls employers need to manage it. We want someone who starts with the customer, not the code, and proactively adds to the roadmap rather than just picking up tickets. This is an autonomous role, you'll be trusted to make product calls, not just technical ones.
Design and build the systems that power Kota's Investments products; pensions, retirement savings and Spend: contributions, onboarding, provider integrations, employer-facing configuration, card issuing and wallet provisioning
Own technical architecture for the Investments stream, integrating with external pension and savings providers as well as payment and card infrastructure (Stripe)
Contribute to frontend code (React + TypeScript) when a feature calls for it
Join client calls where it helps you understand or explain a problem, and proactively shape the roadmap rather than just picking up tickets
Use AI actively in your day-to-day work, for building, reviewing and speeding up how you ship
Contribute to code reviews and technical planning, and keep the systems you own stable and observable
Help shape how the Investments team works as it grows
Introductory call (30 mins): a casual chat with one or two of our product team
Technical interview (90 mins): a collaborative, open-book session with two engineers, working through a real-world problem together
Call with founders (30 mins): we'll share our vision and hear your thoughts
Final response: we'll follow up promptly with next steps
