Engineering
From Product Engineers and AI Product Builders to Heads of Product and CPOs, we help founders and leadership teams build the product teams behind their next stage of growth.
An early hire may need to build the product with no roadmap. Later, you may need someone who can build the team that builds it. Our specialists recruit across software engineering, infrastructure, architecture and security, finding the right hire for the stage your business is at now.
We understand the technical challenge
Engineering hiring starts with understanding what you are actually building. We get into the detail of your stack, architecture, technical priorities and stage of growth, including where new technology and innovation are changing what the team needs. Some teams need someone who can ship without a roadmap; others need someone who can give a growing team clearer direction.
We help you build the team you need
One critical hire or a wider engineering team, permanent or contract. Our Foundations workshop helps you decide which roles to prioritise, the seniority each one needs and how the team should be structured as you grow.
Technical skills are only part of the picture
The right engineer needs more than the right tech stack. We look at how people think, solve problems and work with others, balancing technical capability and AI fluency with personality, potential and the culture they are joining. For founders, this could mean finding someone who can build a product from zero, or a leader who can put the architecture, standards and team in place to take it beyond its first version.

“The Technical team at Zebra People have without question been a key part of our early growth. We look for partners who we can trust to represent our brand and share our values, and they are truly that trusted extension to our own team. Zebra People’s passion and commitment to keeping candidates (the people) at the heart of what they do is paired with genuine time and care into understanding us beyond the core job requirements — our culture, values, stage, challenges, process — resulting in great people in roles they love, time and time again. I have frequently and wholeheartedly recommended working with Mitch and the team.”
Monique Major, Head of Talent at Vault Platform
FAQs
What sectors within Tech do you cover?
We cover Software, DevOps, Cloud & Data Engineering and Architecture.
We cover jobs in the public sector, private sector and work with Start-ups, Scale-ups as well as established businesses and real household name companies like John Lewis.
Which locations do you cover?
We find positions all over the UK, primarily focusing in London but also many other UK cities. We also work internationally with clients in Europe and east coast America. We’ve even recruited into the Philippines.
Do you offer remote working tech roles?
This depends on the client. Following the Covid pandemic, we saw the market adapt to a remote-first policy, but with everything more open, we’ve seen a push for the market to bring people back into work on a hybrid basis. Now only around 5% of the companies we work with ask people to be in every day, and they’ll often struggle to fill their roles as a result. A lot of companies are saying they need staff in the office once a week (or similar) but with the option to do more.
Am I handicapped by a 2 or 3 month notice?
No. Companies look for the best talent, and – 99% of the time – are happy to wait for it.
What tech roles do Zebra People cover?
Primarily software engineering roles of any language. However, we’ve also got a strong record in DevOps/infrastructure, data engineering, architecture and security.
