Product Software Engineer - Frontend (Brightflag)

Your time is valuable.

Architecture decisions aren't handed down — they're made collaboratively, and your voice will count. You'll work alongside talented Product Managers, Designers, and backend engineers who care deeply about craft and outcomes. This is the kind of team where people are excited about what they're building, and it shows in how they work together. AI-assisted development isn't a future ambition here — it's how the team works right now. Tools like Claude Code are part of the daily workflow, and we're actively investing in AI harness engineering as a core competency. If you're already using AI coding agents at the frontier of what's possible, and you want to do that inside a scaling product company with real complexity and real customers, this is a rare opportunity to be in the right place at the right time.

Responsibilities

• You Will Be Doing Taking features from loose requirements all the way to production.
• You’ll work with Product and Design to shape the problem, then design, build, test, release and run the solution in React and TypeScript.
• Building and maintaining Brightflag’s web application, writing code your teammates are glad to build on and making the features you own more reliable over time.
• Designing solutions for medium-sized features independently, backed by a lightweight design doc or ADR for anything non-trivial.
• Contributing to frontend architecture decisions and introducing patterns that the rest of the team picks up and reuses.
• Owning what you ship once it’s live: responding well when something goes wrong, contributing to post-incident analysis and closing out the follow-up actions.
• Using AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code as a core part of how you work, and helping the team sharpen the skills, instructions and scaffolding that make those tools more effective.
• Helping the team get better through code reviews, sprint planning, onboarding new joiners and improving our tooling.

Requirements

• & Experience To be successful in the role, you need: 3+ years of hands-on experience in a frontend role, with strong proficiency in React and TypeScript.

• The ability to take a loosely defined problem and design a sound solution for it, with a clear written rationale for the decisions you make.
• Heavy, current hands-on use of AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor), with AI-augmented development as a core part of your daily workflow.
• Experience with AI harness engineering, including skills, instructions and agent scaffolding.
• A collaborative approach and a product mindset.
• Complex technical and business problems to solve and the trust and autonomy you need to go and solve them.

Benefits

• A sound, helpful team, in a friendly, values-driven and inclusive environment.
• Competitive salary.
• 25 days of holidays.
• Employer pension scheme.
• The Tax-Saver or Cycle-to-Work Scheme.

• Wellbeing program & stipend.
• We are a diverse and inclusive bunch of people.

Location

• & Eligibility This role is based in Ireland on a hybrid basis — we ask that you are in the office at least 1 day per week, with the flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.
