About the role

Associate Product Engineer at Pass the Keys focusing on product-driven software solutions with AI-augmented tools supporting a user-friendly approach in property management.

Responsibilities

Drive the User Experience: You will facilitate the delivery of features that directly improve ease of use. You’ll collaborate with our Senior Product Owner to identify friction in the host or guest journey and build the solutions to remove it.
AI-Augmented Delivery: You will use AI tools (Windsurf, Gemini, etc.) to rapidly master and contribute to our code-base. You'll bridge the gap between your foundational web knowledge (HTML/CSS/JS) and our professional architecture to ship code that is both creative and compliant.
Collaborate with Stakeholders: You will act as a bridge between business needs and technical reality. You’ll work with teams like Marketing, Guest Services, or Operations to ensure that the features you build satisfy real-world requirements for our franchise network.
Full-Stack Execution: You will work across the front and back end, ensuring that our data-driven reporting and content-driven websites are fast, reliable, and visually polished.
Post-Launch Validation: Success isn't just merging code. You will look at user behaviour after launch to see if your work actually helped, and you’ll facilitate the discussion on how we can make it even better in the next iteration.
Systemic Discipline: While we encourage creative problem-solving, you will ensure your work respects our architectural guardrails and passes our automated quality and code-review standards.

Foundational Web Literacy: A strong grasp of the core web—HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript. You understand how the browser works and how data flows through a web page.
AI-First Mindset: You are already using LLMs (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot) to accelerate your coding, solve logic puzzles, and learn new technical concepts quickly.
Logical Fluency: The ability to deconstruct a complex business problem into a step-by-step technical flow.
User Empathy: A natural Product Eye. You can spot friction in an interface and feel a drive to fix it.
Aptitude for Professional Frameworks: You are excited to learn and work within an opinionated professional stack. While we use Django (Python), Angular (TypeScript), Wagtail, and WordPress, we value your ability to learn these patterns more than your prior experience in them.
Collaborative Nature: You enjoy working with stakeholders and view feedback from senior peers as a shortcut to your professional growth.

A Global Vision: Join an ambitious company aspiring to be the global leader in short-let and holiday-let property management.
A Strong Company Culture: Our four core values - Drive, Evolve, Take Pride, and Together - guide everything we do.
Autonomy & Independence: We manage by results, not input. No micromanagement - just accountability and impact.
Professional Growth Opportunities: We encourage responsibility and development, allowing you to expand your skills as much as you can handle.
Flexible Work Arrangements: We understand the importance of work-life balance and support flexible scheduling where possible.
Competitive Salary: While there may be places that pay more, we offer competitive wages with strong career progression opportunities.
A Great Team: Work alongside inspiring colleagues in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Hybrid Work Model: For London-based employees, we require a minimum of three days in the office - currently Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Please note, occasional weekend work may be required to meet operational demand.
**UK-Specific Benefits:**
22 days of holiday plus an extra day off for your birthday.
Pension scheme with salary sacrifice, matching contributions up to 7%.
Enhanced maternity pay - up to 90% of salary for six months.
