Mid/Senior Product Engineer at $3M pre-seed AI writing platform backed by 8VC and Sequoia scouts

We're building Cursor, but for writing. Join an elite London-based team recognized as one of the 100 hottest startups in Europe. Backed by $3M from heavyweights like 8VC, Venrex, and scouts from Sequoia and A16z, we are reinventing the editor for serious writers who value thinking over generic AI automation. As a Product Engineer, you will build a high-craft, local-first platform using Next.js and LangGraph, shipping features that define the future of human-AI collaboration. If you have deep product taste and love tools like Linear and Superhuman, this is your chance to shape the next great writing interface.
