Product Engineer

About us

For a long time, deposits were the only type of rental security that could be trusted. But with over ?5.2 billion locked up in deposit schemes and with it taking months to access them when needed, it's safe to say deposits are slow and outdated.

Flatfair's innovative rental solutions means that tenants secure a new home with a small check-in fee instead of paying for a costly deposit, whilst giving landlords up to double the protection of traditional deposits.

We're continuing to improve our core product as well as identifying, testing and launching new innovations. Our vision is to make every rental experience a position one, and we're backed by Index Ventures, investors in Facebook, Deliveroo and Slack, and one of the largest venture capital firms in the world. Reporting directly into our CTO, you'll be working on our core product used by tenants, landlords and agents to manage their tenancies. We're a small company, as an engineer you'd be able to work directly with everyone on the team. You'll have a chance to learn a lot not only about engineering but also about every detail of growing business.
