Founding Product Engineer
FOUNDING PRODUCT ENGINEER
COMPANY: CultureTest / Steven.com
REPORTING TO: CTO, CultureTest
LOCATION: London
ABOUT CULTURETEST
This role sits within CultureTest , a venture within the Steven.com ecosystem - one of the companies we are building and backing as we scale the infrastructure behind high-performing teams.
Most hiring decisions rely on CVs, interviews and gut feel - all weak signals that rarely predict how someone will actually behave inside a company. As teams scale and founders step back from hiring, the decisions that matter most often get made with the least structure.
CultureTest introduces company-specific, scenario-based behavioural screening early in the hiring process. Instead of generic personality tests, we help teams evaluate candidates against how their company actually works, before interviews shape perception.
Culture Test are early-stage, working directly with customers, shipping quickly and iterating based on real usage.
ROLE MISSION
Own the front-end experience end to end - designing and shipping the interfaces hiring teams and candidates interact with every day - and help define how CultureTest builds product as the platform scales.
As the first dedicated frontend engineer, you'll take ownership of the existing frontend, build in Next.js and TypeScript, and have the opportunity to contribute across the whole stack over time. You'll work closely with the CTO to shape frontend architecture, product decisions and engineering standards, with a high level of autonomy and real influence over both the product and the engineering culture.
KEY OUTCOMES
Take ownership of the existing frontend and ship core product features in Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript
Define and own the frontend architecture across a growing SaaS platform
Translate product ideas into fast, polished, highly usable experiences
Shape how behavioural data is presented so hiring teams can interpret and act on it
Collaborate on API contracts and system design with the CTO
Help establish early engineering practices and standards as the team grows
CORE COMPETENCIES
Deep expertise in React, Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript
Strong product instincts and a high bar for UX quality
Systems thinking - designs in systems, not just components
Comfort operating in ambiguity, defining solutions without heavy process
Clear collaboration on API design and full-stack concerns
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF
You've shipped real SaaS products and want first-engineer-level ownership
You enjoy high autonomy, minimal process, and shaping both product and engineering culture
You're curious about the full system (Go / PostgreSQL / AWS), even with a frontend focus
You like working directly with customers and iterating on real usage
You hold a high bar for UX and care about how the work feels, not just that it ships
IDEAL BACKGROUND
A strong frontend or product engineer who has shipped real, production SaaS
Deep, hands-on experience with React, Next.js and TypeScript
Able to think in systems and interested in broader system ownership over time
Startup or early-stage experience is a strong plus
