Your role: As a Product Engineer at Zanders, you bridge financial domain expertise and modern AI tooling to deliver product outcomes fast. You work closely with Product Owners and domain specialists to deeply understand what a feature needs to achieve in its business context — and then use AI-powered development to turn that understanding into working software, quickly. You are an outcome driver. You know how financial products, workflows, and data behave in the real world, and you use that knowledge — combined with modern AI tools — to move from concept to near-final implementation with minimal handovers and short feedback loops. Our established engineering team supports and refines what you build, so you can focus on getting the right thing built, fast. We expect you to work in a genuinely AI-first way: using AI tools throughout discovery, refinement, prototyping, development, testing, and documentation — while applying your own critical judgment to ensure what gets built is robust and fit for purpose. Why Zanders? A tight-knit team — Work with a group of 15 driven software engineers who share your passion for technology. Collaborate with the wider Solutions team to bring domain expertise and business development insights into our software. Direct impact through code — Your Python skills and financial domain knowledge combine to build real tooling that clients use — not prototypes that get thrown over a wall. Entrepreneurial spirit — We're building products at the intersection of finance and technology, in a space that's moving fast. If you naturally think about opportunities and impact beyond the task at hand, you'll fit right in. Empowered environment — We operate with a low-hierarchy, flexible approach, empowering you to take ownership of projects and contribute ideas. Invested in your growth — We prioritize your professional and personal development with resources for training, coaching, and career growth.

Skills to be successful: 2 to 5 years of experience in software development, financial consulting, or a hybrid business–technology role.

Proven ability to translate business needs into clear pragmatic solutions, with a focus on outcomes over technical elegance. Fluency with modern AI tools across the full development lifecycle — prototyping, coding, testing, and documentation — and the critical thinking to ensure quality.
