The Role

- Seeking a Fast Engineer in London who excels at building and shipping products independently.
- The ideal candidate is not a traditional senior engineer who requires a detailed roadmap, but rather someone who has taken ideas from concept to live deployment.
- Evidence of side projects, weekend builds, or any shipped products with real users or traffic is highly valued.

What We Are Looking For

- Hungry, high-energy individuals willing to work at a fast, startup pace.
- Proven track record of independently building and shipping real projects.
- Ability to deliver results quickly, measured in hours and days rather than sprints and quarters.
- Comfortable working across the technology stack and adaptable to various challenges.
- Possesses strong opinions but is open to change when presented with better ideas.
- Demonstrates low ego, driven by a desire to prove themselves through results rather than titles.

How We Work

- Prioritize making decisions quickly over waiting for perfect answers.
- New products and process changes are shipped regularly, not just quarterly.
- Emphasize a ship-and-iterate approach rather than prolonged review cycles.
- Maintain high intensity during product pushes, with no significant drop-off during quieter periods.
- Operate with a public-first mindset; decisions are made openly, not in private messages.
- Internal competition is encouraged, with strong performers raising the standard for everyone.

This is a build seat, not a coast seat.

What Gets Someone Removed Quickly

- Engaging in office politics, dodging responsibility, or gossiping.
- Taking direct feedback personally instead of constructively.
- Creating unnecessary overhead rather than streamlining processes.
- Failing to follow through promptly after committing to deadlines.

How to Apply

- Submit links to your GitHub, personal website, live projects, or anything you have built and shipped.
- Do not send CVs.
- Email applications to: sergio@corgi.com
- If you cannot provide evidence of shipped work, this role is not a fit.

Location & Compensation

- London-based position; on-site or hybrid work arrangements available.
- Compensation ranges from £75,000 to £140,000 base salary, plus equity.
- The wide salary band reflects a focus on demonstrated shipping ability rather than job titles.
