Senior Full-Stack Product Engineer (React/Node) – Fully Remote (Europe)

Senior Full‑Stack Product Engineer (React/Node) – Fully Remote (Europe)

Direct message the job poster from Elliott Cross Executive Search

We’re supporting a fast‑growing, product‑led tech company (well‑funded and nearing profitability) in hiring two Senior Full‑Stack Product Engineers to join their core activation/product teams. These teams build high‑impact, customer‑facing tools used by global brands and AI‑native startups.

This is a role for engineers who think beyond code for people who care about how a product feels, how users interact with it, and whether it truly solves their needs.

Core Tech Stack — What You Must Be Strong In

• React (advanced)
• Node (advanced)
• TypeScript

Additional Technologies You Will Work With (Nice-to-Have, Not Mandatory)

• Redis
• GRPC / REST
• MobX
• AWS
• Occasional Python
• Multiple codebases and services

What Really Defines This Role (Critical for Success)

1. Product‑Focused Mindset

You care deeply about:

• How the final product looks, feels, and behaves
• Whether the UX is intuitive and delightful
• What the user experiences at every step
• Building features that genuinely solve customer problems

You think beyond implementation — you think in terms of user journeys and end‑to‑end outcomes .

2. Deep User Empathy

You naturally ask:

• "Is this clear for the user?"
• "Is this the simplest possible experience?"
• "Does this create friction or confidence?"

This role is for someone who builds with the user in mind, not against them.

3. Flexible, Tool‑Agnostic Engineer

You’re strong in Node + React but comfortable moving across:

• Different services
• Different codebases
• Different parts of the stack

You’re not a "framework warrior".

You choose what works, not what matches your preference.

4. Ownership & Autonomy

• Taking initiative
• Working independently
• Solving problems end‑to‑end
• Collaborating with product & design
• Improving systems used in real production environments

What You’ll Be Building

• High‑impact, customer‑facing applications
• Activation and data‑experience tools used by global companies
• Features with versioning, backwards‑compatibility, and feature flags
• User interfaces and flows that people actually enjoy using
• Improvements across multiple services, not just one repo
• Systems with real production traffic and high reliability expectations

Who Will Love This Role

• Engineers who enjoy working closely with product & UX
• People who want to create real customer value
• Curious, open‑minded technologists
• Early adopters of new tools (including AI)
• Engineers who thrive in flexible, low‑hierarchy environments
• People comfortable working with global teams (Europe, India, US)

Who won’t enjoy it:

• Very rigid or dogmatic engineers
• Corporate‑style developers who need strict structure
• People who don’t enjoy thinking about UX or customer experience
• Passive individuals who rely heavily on direction

What’s Offered

• Fully remote across Europe
• Growth paths toward Staff Engineer or Leadership
• ✈️ Optional travel for team meetups
