Role
Who you are
- You enjoy working in highly collaborative environments and value shared ownership
- You’re passionate about solving problems and improving platforms, processes, and developer experience
- You have experience with, or a strong interest in, product platforms, internal tools, APIs, or event-driven systems
- You’ve worked with some of our tech stack, particularly AWS, TypeScript, GraphQL, React, or Terraform
- You have experience across frontend and backend development, or a strong desire to grow as a full-stack engineer
- You’re comfortable contributing to technical discussions, design decisions, and delivering high-quality solutions
- You’re keen to learn new technologies, patterns, and ways of working
- Experience with serverless or event-driven systems is a bonus, but not essential
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Product Studio team at Moonpig
- Product Studio owns everything related to product across Moonpig and Greetz — from how product data is modelled and priced, to how it’s surfaced through APIs and events, and managed through intuitive internal tools. We also build and run Studio, our custom web application that enables teams to create and manage the templates behind our personalised products
- Our mission is to make it easier for internal teams to build, manage, and evolve products. You’ll work across backend and frontend systems, collaborate closely with a wide range of internal customers, and help deliver reliable, scalable platforms that have real impact across the business
- Drive Meaningful Developer Impact: Our goal is to enhance the developer experience by prioritising high-value initiatives that remove friction, improve efficiency, and empower teams. We focus on clear planning while remaining adaptable to evolving engineering needs
- High Quality: Collaborate with stakeholders to deliver secure, scalable, maintainable, and high-performance solutions, all while maintaining a fast delivery pace
- Community Mindset: Engage with the engineering community within Moonpig, sharing knowledge and contributing to the continuous improvement of our practices
- Open-Mindedness: Strive for improvement by being open to feedback, giving constructive feedback to others, and being willing to try new ideas. This openness is key to our ongoing success
- Growth: Be actively engaged in your own growth, embracing challenges while feeling supported in your role
- Work as part of a cross-functional, agile team to design, build, and iterate on product platforms, APIs, events, and internal tools
- Contribute to ideation, technical design, and roadmap planning, sharing ideas to improve product data modelling, developer experience, and internal workflows
- Own and evolve Product Lookup APIs and product event streams, ensuring they are reliable, well-modelled, and easy for internal teams to consume
- Build and maintain Studio, our internal React-based web application used to create and manage templates for personalised products
- Own integrations with Commercetools, including subscribing to events and developing custom applications to simplify and standardise product creation and modification
- Develop and maintain AWS-based, serverless infrastructure, using Terraform to ensure systems are scalable, resilient, and maintainable
- Write clean, well-tested code across the stack, primarily using TypeScript, GraphQL, React, and a small amount of C#
- Design and implement appropriate automated tests to ensure quality and safety as the codebase evolves
- Work closely with internal customers, including artworkers, commercial teams, buying teams, data platform teams, and other engineering teams, to support integrations, provide guidance, and translate needs into effective platform solutions
- Collaborate actively with teammates, contributing to a culture of knowledge sharing, continuous improvement, and high engineering standards
- Support business needs during peak periods to help the team respond to market changes

Our take
When Moonpig was founded in 2000, it bought into the idea that a personalised gift is always more meaningful, whether sent from the sofa, the commute, or the gym. Customers quickly bought into this vision, and Moonpig saw rapid growth culminating in its 2011 acquisition by Photobox for £120M.
Since then, Moonpig has seen continued success. Through expansion into new products such as flowers (Moonpig is now a top-3 online flower seller) and the development of its own app, Moonpig has established its place within the market for personalised gifts.
And it doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon, as it looks to expand even further. Recent innovations have included the introduction of giant cards, and the company has also secured the ability to create exclusively branded ranges alongside Disney and Warner Bros. This commitment to innovation positions Moonpig to capture even more market share and strengthen its leadership in the industry.
