About Onetrace 🚀

We’re building the market leading software for fire protection subcontractors across the UK. Recognised by the UK Fast Growth Index as one of the fastest-growing companies, we are now expanding into new trades and taking Onetrace global.


Engineering Culture 🌱

We believe in thoughtful and quality software that genuinely helps our customers solve real problems. We’re not just a “move fast and break things” company – we care about the bigger picture: the operatives on site, the project teams behind them, and the real-world impact of the tools we ship.


What this means day-to-day

* Direct customer connection - we encourage you to talk to users and understand their real challenges.
* Collaborative partnership - work as equals with product managers and designers to find the best solutions.
* End-to-end ownership - care about your work from conception through production and beyond.
* Quality focus - balance shipping velocity with code quality and exceptional user experience.
* Open communication - speak up with ideas, concerns, and feedback to help the team improve.
* Continuous learning - embrace mistakes as learning opportunities and seek better approaches.


The role 📝

As a Full-Stack Product Engineer at Onetrace, your mission is to translate complex user needs into elegant, high-impact solutions. You will contribute to building and maintaining features across our stack, collaborate closely with Senior Product Engineers on design and architecture decisions, write clean and efficient code, and help ensure best practices are followed throughout the development process.


What you’ll do

* Own end-to-end delivery of features that solve real customer problems, from understanding user pain points through to shipped functionality across UI, application logic and database layers.
* Build intuitive, performant interfaces that customers actually want to use – balancing user needs, accessibility, and technical constraints while ensuring features work reliably across devices and contexts.
* Use customer feedback, analytics, and direct user insights to inform technical decisions, prioritise improvements, and validate that shipped features deliver measurable value.
* Design and implement complex data flows, API integrations, and background processing systems that handle high-volume operations reliably while maintaining system performance and data integrity.
* Partner with product, design, and customers to shape solutions early, translating business requirements into technical architecture while surfacing risks and opportunities that impact customer outcomes.


Beyond the tech

We are building a team of Product Engineers because we believe the most impactful work comes from those who are closest to the problems we’re solving. Engineering is not just about executing a specification – it’s about taking ownership of the user experience and the business outcome.
